Is TTV NoAds safe?

Low risk

TTV NoAds sends the current Twitch channel name to a blocktwitchads proxy when ad-tagged playlists trigger fallback.

When its Twitch playlist hook sees stitched ad markers, it records the channel name from Twitch HLS playlist URLs and requests the blocktwitchads proxy for that channel. This means pxy.blocktwitchads.com receives the Twitch channel being watched on that fallback path.

Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.

Shared hosts - 1 hostname

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.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed TTV NoAds contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
