Is KuroTwi safe?

Clean risk

KuroTwi embeds service API credentials and sends Twitter, short-link, and translation requests to third-party APIs.

The extension uses hardcoded Twitter OAuth consumer credentials when it signs Twitter API requests. When users expand bit.ly or j.mp links or use translation, it sends the shortened URL to Bitly and the requested text to Microsoft Translator.
