Is StoryVerse Stories Hub for FB and IG safe?
StoryVerse Stories Hub for FB and IG reads Facebook and Instagram cookies and request tokens to load stories.
The extension's background worker stores Facebook fb_dtsg and Instagram request headers and can read Instagram sessionid, ds_user_id, csrftoken, and Facebook c_user cookies. It uses those values for story tray and GraphQL requests to i.instagram.com and www.facebook.com when its story-viewer features run.
