Is Chat Overlay for Youtube, Twitch & more safe?
Chat Overlay for Youtube, Twitch & more sends selected chat and social post content to api.overlay.ninja.
When you click supported chat or social content, the extension collects the visible author, message, avatar, badges, donation or membership labels, and poll content where available. It forwards that selected content over a WebSocket channel to api.overlay.ninja so it can appear in the overlay session.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Same store account
1 other listing published from this account, 10k+ users between them, none of them carrying a finding.
Shared hosts - 2 hostnames
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
AI-generated. Findings may contain errors. Those marked Verified have been manually reviewed.
Publishers can request a review.
What it can do
Permissions this extension asks for, as declared in version 2.0.0. Asking for a permission is not a finding on its own - it is what the extension can do if it chooses to.
