Watch Later Shortcut for YouTube™

The extension has a solid 4.5-star rating from 42 users and serves a clear, specific purpose of adding YouTube watch later functionality. With 1,000 users, it has a reasonable user base for validation. The extension uses Manifest V3, which provides better security controls than older versions.

The main concern is the activeTab permission, which allows the extension to access content on the currently active tab when the user clicks the extension icon. While this is necessary for the extension's YouTube functionality, it does grant access to potentially sensitive information on any active tab. The lack of host permissions is actually positive, as it means the extension doesn't have persistent access to specific websites. However, the missing developer information raises minor transparency concerns.

This extension appears relatively safe for general use given its specific purpose and limited permissions. The activeTab permission is appropriate for its YouTube functionality. To minimize risk, only activate the extension when you're actually on YouTube and want to use the watch later feature. If you're particularly security-conscious, you could run it in a separate Chrome profile dedicated to media consumption. Monitor your YouTube account for any unexpected activity, though the risk of malicious behavior appears low based on the current metrics.
