In-depth safety analysis
This extension requests only the activeTab and storage permissions. The activeTab permission allows it to interact with the current page’s video elements only when you click the extension icon or invoke it, which is exactly what a playback speed tool needs. The storage permission lets it save your speed preferences locally. For a general-purpose video speed adjuster, this permission set is minimal and well-aligned with its function.
As with any extension that modifies page content, a careful user should know that future updates could change how the extension behaves, though Manifest V3’s permission model requires explicit user consent for any new, broader access. For general browser extensions like this, the main safety consideration is the developer’s intentions over time, not inherent data exposure.
The extension’s strongest dimension is Permissions & Access, with a perfect 100% score, confirming that it uses only the narrowest possible permissions. The weakest dimension is Publisher & Identity, scoring 60%, which reflects that the publisher is an individual developer without a widely recognized organizational identity. This is common among independent extensions and is not an indicator of harm, but users who prefer established publishers may want to check for a consistent update history and community feedback.
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.
