In-depth safety analysis
The extension requests only the activeTab and storage permissions. activeTab can read the current page’s content only after the user explicitly clicks the extension icon, and does not grant background or cross-tab access. storage allows saving local settings such as window size or position. This is a minimal and expected permission scope for a pop-out video player.
For this category, typical safety considerations include being cautious of lookalike extensions with similar names that request broad host permissions or inject scripts. This extension’s use of activeTab is generally lower-risk than full site access. The developer declares that data is not sold and is not used for unrelated purposes. A careful user should still verify the publisher identity, as smaller or less transparent publishers can carry higher uncertainty even when permissions appear safe.
In the fact sheet, the strongest dimension is Data & Privacy at 100%, supported by a perfect Permissions & Access score, reflecting minimal data handling. The weakest dimension is Publisher & Identity at 60%, meaning the publisher’s identity or contact transparency is less established. The overall safety score is 86.75 out of 100, grade A, based on these public signals.

Public records identify the publisher, but no individual founders or a separate registered company are named — which is what holds the Publisher & Identity score back. Less public information about who operates an extension means less you can verify about their long-term accountability.
