In-depth safety analysis

This extension requests the "scripting" permission combined with host access to "", allowing it to inject code and read or modify any website you visit. For a floating video player intended to work across multiple platforms, such broad access is typical to detect and control media elements, though it does grant the ability to interact with all your browsing.

General browser extensions with wide-ranging page access carry inherent considerations. A careful user should know that these permissions can theoretically observe page content or alter site behavior, which is why it is wise to install such tools only from trusted sources and periodically review their required access.

In this assessment, the strongest dimension is Data & Privacy, where the developer's declared practices align with a high score, suggesting limited data-handling concerns. The weakest is Publisher & Identity, which indicates less verifiable public information about the developer, a factor worth noting when gauging overall trust.

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.
