Is Alternate Player for Twitch.tv safe?
Alternate Player for Twitch.tv sends Twitch stream tokens, GPU fingerprint, and session logs to a third-party server over plain HTTP.
When a user triggers crash or feedback reporting, the extension collects Twitch stream access tokens, browser and system fingerprint data (GPU model, CPU count, RAM, screen geometry, timezone, language), and a rolling debug log of up to 1500 session entries. This data is POSTed without TLS to r90354g8.beget.tech, a Russian hosting provider, via a hard-coded endpoint in player.js.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed twitch_5 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.
