In-depth safety analysis
This extension requests only the "storage" permission, which allows it to save settings like your preferred playback speed locally on your device. It does not request access to browse your visited websites or read page content. For a general browser extension focused on adjusting video playback, this is a very minimal and appropriate permission set.
General browser extensions that modify webpage behavior, including video controllers, are often safe but users should be aware that a compromised or poorly coded extension with broader permissions could inject or alter content. In this case, the limited permission scope significantly reduces that surface. You should always ensure you are installing the official version from a trusted store page, as popular tools can be impersonated by copycats.
The fact sheet shows the strongest dimension is Maintenance & Ownership, with a perfect score, indicating the extension is actively maintained and recently updated. The weakest dimension is Publisher & Identity, which suggests the developer could offer more transparency, though this does not necessarily signal risk.
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.
