In-depth safety analysis
This extension requests only the "storage" permission, which allows it to save settings like your preferred playback speed locally in the browser. It does not request access to your browsing history, tabs, or the content of web pages. For a general browser extension focused on controlling video speed, this is a minimal and expected permission scope.
As with any extension that modifies website behavior, a careful user should be aware that it could theoretically be updated later to request broader permissions. Video-related extensions sometimes interact with page elements, so it is wise to review permissions after updates. The developer's privacy declarations state that data is not sold or used for unrelated purposes, but these are self-reported claims and not independently verified.
The strongest dimension in the safety assessment is Maintenance & Ownership, indicating the extension is actively maintained and ownership is clear. The weakest dimension is Publisher & Identity, which suggests limited publicly available information about the developer. This is not unusual for smaller or independent publishers, but it means users have less external assurance about the entity behind the extension.
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.
