Is Shorts block-tube safe?
YouTube Shorts Blocker loads Google Fonts from its popup, sending request metadata to Google.
When you open the extension popup, it preconnects to Google font hosts and requests the M PLUS 2 stylesheet from fonts.googleapis.com. That request can include your IP address and browser request headers, but the recorded claim does not show YouTube page data, cookies, credentials, or browsing URLs being sent.
