Is Hulu Picture In Picture [QVI] Safe? — Extension Safety Profile

This extension requests access to Hulu’s website (*://*.hulu.com/*) along with the alarms and storage API permissions. That host permission allows it to read and modify content on Hulu pages, which is expected for a picture-in-picture tool that needs to interact with the video player. The scope is typical for a single-site enhancement, and the permissions are narrowly focused on its stated purpose.

For any extension that modifies a streaming site, a careful user should consider that host access can also be used to inject scripts or track activity on that site. The developer’s privacy disclosure states it collects personally identifiable information, authentication data, location, user activity, and website content — a broader set of data than a simple PiP feature might require. While this is self-declared and not verified, it’s worth noting when deciding whether to install.

The strongest dimension in the safety assessment is Permissions & Access, reflecting that the extension asks for only what’s functionally necessary. The weakest is Publisher & Identity, indicating limited transparency about the developer behind “TheBestChromeExtensions.” A low publisher score doesn’t imply wrongdoing, but it does mean there’s less public track record to evaluate, which is a common consideration with smaller or less well-known extension authors.
