Is Spotify Side Lyrics safe?

Low risk

Spotify Side Lyrics reads Spotify's lyrics page and mirrors the current lyric line in its side panel.

On open.spotify.com, the extension creates a hidden Spotify lyrics iframe, watches the lyrics DOM, and sends the current and next lyric text to its side panel for display. If GIF backgrounds are enabled, the side panel requests a random GIF from Giphy using its configured category.
