In code review (v2.0.10)

Our reviewer read version 2.0.10 — the most recent version we have reviewed — and found no malicious behaviour. The version shown here has not been individually reviewed yet.

What our analysis found

HyperTube - ускорение Ютуба, used by 200,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can observe network requests. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in September 2026.

Analyst notes

The extension's purpose is clearly to route YouTube traffic through a proxy for speed improvement, which requires proxy, webRequest, and host permissions. All data sent (device ID, IP, subscription ID) goes to the publisher's own backend ([domain withheld]), and is essential for the proxy service. No covert exfiltration, no injection beyond the declared YouTube pages, and no credential theft. The code is bundled but not maliciously obfuscated. The risk scores from automated analysis are due to the inherent risk of proxy extensions, but the specific implementation is legitimate.
