In-depth safety analysis
This extension requests only the "storage" permission, which allows it to save settings like equalizer presets locally in your browser. It cannot read or modify any website content, including YouTube pages. For a tool that adjusts audio output, this minimal permission scope is appropriate and well within normal expectations for its category.
General-purpose browser extensions that modify a specific site’s behavior often ask for broad access to that site, but this one does not. Still, any extension that targets a popular platform like YouTube should be installed with care. Look for consistent updates, a clear privacy policy, and a reasonable number of reviews. Even with minimal permissions, an extension could later request more during an update, so it is wise to review permission changes and only install from sources you trust.
The fact sheet shows a perfect score for Maintenance & Ownership, indicating the extension is actively maintained and its ownership is well-established. The weakest area is Publisher & Identity, which suggests the developer’s background or transparency could be stronger. This is not unusual for smaller or independent publishers, but users who prioritize knowing exactly who makes their software may want to research the publisher further before installing.
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.
