Is Yshot Youtube Screenshot safe?
Yshot Youtube Screenshot lets any page trigger its YouTube-frame screenshot action through an unchecked message bridge.
The extension's content script runs inside YouTube frames and listens for a yshot_takescreenshot message without checking where it came from. A page that embeds a YouTube video can send that message to make the extension capture the current video frame, then save it as a download or write it to the clipboard depending on the extension setting.
