Is BetterRYM safe?
BetterRYM embeds Spotify and Discogs API credentials and sends them to those services during import and search features.
BetterRYM includes hardcoded Spotify and Discogs API credentials in its extension bundle. When users use its RateYourMusic import or search features, the extension sends those credentials to Spotify's token endpoint and Discogs release endpoints to retrieve music metadata.
