In-depth safety analysis
The extension requests permissions for storage, context menus, notifications, and declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccess. These allow it to save your preferences, add right-click options, show playback notifications, and declaratively modify network requests across all websites. For a media player that may need to intercept or redirect media streams, this scope is fairly typical, though the host-wide network access is a powerful capability that a careful user should review.
Media player extensions often require broad access to handle various audio and video sources. A user should be aware that any extension with the ability to alter network requests could potentially redirect traffic or inject content, even if the declared purpose is benign. The developer states that data is not sold or used for unrelated purposes, but users should still consider the publisher’s transparency and reputation before installing.
The strongest dimension in this assessment is Maintenance & Ownership, indicating the extension is actively updated and its ownership is clear. The weakest is Publisher & Identity, which suggests limited verifiable information about the developer. This combination means the code itself appears well-maintained, but users may want to seek additional assurance about who is providing it.
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.
