What our analysis found
YouTube Popout Player, used by 60,000 people, showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in November 2025.
Analyst notes
The extension's code strictly implements its described functionality: opening YouTube videos in popout windows with configurable options. All permissions (context menus, declarativeNetRequest, notifications, storage) are used solely for this purpose, with hosts limited to [domain withheld] and [domain withheld]. No external communication, data exfiltration, or tracking is present. The small risk factors (declarativeNetRequest, content scripts) are inherent to its legitimate function, and the publisher is trusted with a clean record.
