Is YouTube Video Downloader safe?
YouTube Video Downloader removes CSP and X-Frame-Options protections from pages and embedded frames.
When Firefox receives a main page or iframe response, the extension removes Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options headers for all HTTP and HTTPS URLs. This changes browser-enforced framing and content restrictions across sites; the confirmed claim does not identify any outside recipient receiving user data.
Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 2 hostnames
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
