The extension has a solid user rating of 4.6 stars from 28 reviews, indicating positive user experiences. With 5,000 users, it has achieved moderate adoption for a specialized utility. The extension's purpose is clearly defined and matches its simple functionality of adding a 1-second rewind feature to Netflix.
The storage permission, while flagged as medium-risk, is actually appropriate for this extension's functionality as it likely needs to store user preferences or playback settings. However, the lack of developer information raises some transparency concerns. The extension only targets Netflix.com, which is appropriate for its stated purpose, but users should be aware that any data stored could potentially be accessed by the extension.
The content script injection into Netflix pages is necessary for the extension to function but does mean it has access to the Netflix interface and potentially viewing data.
This extension appears to be relatively safe for its intended purpose. Users concerned about privacy could run it in a separate Chrome profile dedicated to streaming services. Monitor the extension's behavior and remove it if you notice any unexpected functionality beyond the simple rewind feature. Since developer information is limited, consider checking for alternative extensions with more transparent development teams if you prefer additional accountability.
