In-depth safety analysis
This extension requests only the "storage" permission, which lets it save and retrieve user settings locally on your device. For an audio equalizer, this is a minimal and expected permission set; it does not ask for access to any website content, browsing history, or other sensitive data.
Equalizer tools for YouTube often need to interact with the video player to apply audio effects. Even though this listing shows no host permissions, other similar extensions may request access to youtube.com. Granting such access can allow an extension to read or modify what is displayed on YouTube pages. A careful user should always review requested permissions and install only from sources they trust.
According to the provided fact sheet, the strongest safety dimension is Maintenance & Ownership (100%), meaning the extension is actively maintained and has been recently updated. The weakest dimension is Publisher & Identity (60%), which indicates limited publicly verifiable information about the developer. Checking that the name and publisher match known official sources can be a helpful precaution.
AI-assisted analysis of the documented signals above (permissions, store data, privacy practices) — explains what they mean and the risks typical for this category. Not a hands-on test.
