In-depth safety analysis
This extension can read and modify data on specific websites, including kick.com (a live-streaming platform) and several media-hosting domains like catbox.moe, giphy.com, and tenor.com. It also uses the "storage" permission to save settings locally. For a tool designed to enhance a streaming site with media content, these are relatively focused permissions, though the ability to read page content on kick.com means it can see everything you do on that site, including any messages or streams you view.
The "general browser extension" category covers a wide range of utilities. A careful user should know that extensions interacting with streaming or social platforms can sometimes be used to modify how the site looks or behaves, which might affect your experience or privacy in ways you didn't intend. The developer-declared data collection includes personal communications and website content, which aligns with the requested host access and is worth keeping in mind.
Based on the provided scores, this extension shows excellent Maintenance & Ownership and strong Permissions & Access ratings, suggesting it is technically well-configured with a tight permission scope. Its weakest area is Community Reputation, which reflects its extremely small user base and limited public feedback, making it harder to independently verify its reliability or long-term track record.
AI-assisted analysis of the documented signals above (permissions, store data, privacy practices) — explains what they mean and the risks typical for this category. Not a hands-on test.
