Is YouTube Repeat Safe? — Extension Safety Profile

This extension requests the "storage" permission to save your settings locally, and host access to https://*/*, which allows it to read and alter content on any HTTPS website you visit. For a tool that adds repeat controls to YouTube, some access to youtube.com is expected—but the blanket host permission goes far beyond its stated purpose, meaning the extension can technically interact with every secure page in your browser.

When an extension asks for broad host access, a careful user should know that the capability is not limited to a single site. Even well-intentioned tools can later be sold, updated, or compromised, potentially exposing browsing activity across unrelated websites. In this category, it is wise to check whether a single-site utility truly needs to run everywhere, and to review permissions after updates. The privacy declarations here are promising, but they remain self-reported and unverified.

In this assessment, the strongest dimension is Data & Privacy, where the developer has declared no data selling and no use for unrelated purposes—a positive sign. The weakest dimension is Publisher & Identity, reflecting limited public information about the developer. For users, this balance suggests the extension states good privacy intentions, but the lesser-known publisher and broad permissions warrant a closer look before continuous use.
