SafeKodi addon - HediSIX - 2020-03-08
Hi,
I juste read in the news this morning about an addon developped by a group of Researchers from Northwestern University and Brave Software that will help identify unwanted or pirated content in addons.
"SafeKodi is able to identify addons which might install malware or inject unwanted advertisement"
"In addition to insights about advertising, tracking, and potential malware threats, the research also provides additional detail on the video sources of addons."
I find this to be a great idea. I don't think that they have communicated here yet...

Kodi has no interest in third-party plugins outside of the Offical repository. All plugins found in the official repository were thoroughly reviewed by team members.
Kodi encourages developers to submit their plugins to the official repository.
