Is YTHACKS safe?
YTHACKS sends YouTube transcript text to ChatGPT after the user clicks its injected transcript button.
On YouTube watch pages, YTHACKS adds a ChatGPT button to the transcript area and, when clicked, reads the transcript text into extension storage with the selected prompt. It then opens chatgpt.com, inserts the prompt plus up to 28,000 characters of transcript text into the ChatGPT prompt box, auto-submits it, and clears the stored data.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed YTHACKS 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.
