Is Better Steam safe?

Clean risk

Better Steam looks up the Steam app ID for visited Steam store pages on Steambase.

When you open a store.steampowered.com/app page, Better Steam parses the app ID from the page URL and fetches details from Steambase. The response is used to add Steambase links, price and review labels, and player-stat UI to the Steam page.

Where it sends data
