LOW

Risk Level

Trust Factors:

- The extension has a relatively high rating of 4.9 stars, although the number of reviews is low (11).

- The extension's description suggests it simplifies the YouTube experience, which aligns with its content script permissions.

- The developer information is not provided, which is a minor concern.

Concerns:

- The extension requests content script permissions for "https://www.youtube.com/*", which is necessary for its stated purpose of simplifying the YouTube interface.

- No other permissions or scripts are requested, which is a positive sign.

Recommendations:

- Since the extension has minimal permissions and a relatively high rating, it poses a low risk.

- However, as a precaution, users may consider running the extension in a separate Chrome profile or an incognito window, especially if they have concerns about the lack of developer information.

- Users should periodically review the extension's permissions and ratings to ensure they haven't changed over time.

- If the extension requests additional permissions in future updates, users should carefully evaluate the necessity of those permissions.
