The sole Twitch extension, Twitch Now, requires access “See and modify your data across all websites.”
There’s no reason for this, but there’s also nothing I can do about it. I’m not going to develop my own competing extension, and no other extensions exist. It’s quite annoying.
They could theoretically be harvesting all of my Gmail emails, making changes to my GitHub repositories, monitoring my Slack conversations, and more.
- evmar 8y agoThe "Pocket" extension required something similar so I built my own: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/save-to-pocket-mini/calnfcidhlhdmmmnicdpddbmmjmfohem https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/save-to-pocket-min... However it seems to maybe have broken recently (only on some of my devices, maybe some API change by Pocket?) and I can't be bothered to fix it.
- trentlott 8y agoWhy can't someone develop a sandbox app that feeds in network connectivity while faking inputs? Twitch just needs to display video and a button that autoprints the Donger.

Have you considered sending a pull request? https://github.com/Ndragomirov/twitch-now https://github.com/Ndragomirov/twitch-now Also, you could build it from source if you're paranoid of the author pulling a switcheroo.
