Is Telegram downloader safe?

Low risk

Telegram downloader copies the user's premium license code into Telegram Web localStorage.

When a premium code is saved in the extension options, its Telegram content script reads the code from extension storage and writes it to web.telegram.org localStorage. Downloader code on the Telegram page later reads that value before checking the license, so the license secret persists in page storage rather than staying only inside the extension.
