User reviews

This addon reaches out to a server with a unique client ID whenever it is updated, installed, and any time a QR code even takes place— which is not needed for it to function. Additionally, this addon also includes multiple 3rd party services, which invasively collect user data without consent. Also, the addon opens a random YouTube video when installed. The addon does not actually contain any functionality, it is just a shortcut for addtoany.com bundled with spyware. (source: addon code) This, combined with the lack of any security features, directly contradicts the point made in the screenshot on the addition page, which claims the addon is "Secured".
