Is YT Remote safe?
YT Remote sends the signed-in Chrome profile email to its Supabase endpoint when the background script starts.
The extension asks Chrome for the signed-in profile email from its background service worker. If Chrome returns an email, YT Remote posts it with the app name "yt-remote" to a Supabase function, independent of the YouTube page where its content script runs.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed YT Remote contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
