I think you could explicitly mention in the description that the extension only uses YouTube's own API and nothing else. I'm pretty sure a lot of people who wouldn't know how to verify this themselves care about that! And as you might have guessed, I just checked the source via opening the xpi, since I'm slightly paranoid about these things. I was very happy to see straightforward, and very readable code! So nice to find these little extensions that just do the one thing they're supposed to do. Thanks for sharing your extension with us!

Is YouTube Transcript Copy Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

YouTube Transcript Copy requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
