Is Twitch Radio Mode safe?

Clean risk

Twitch Radio Mode stores Twitch authorization headers and reuses them for Twitch playback-token requests.

Twitch Radio Mode watches Twitch GraphQL requests, stores the Client-ID and Authorization headers locally, and later adds the authorization header to Twitch playback-token requests. It then fetches Twitch HLS playlist data for the selected channel and plays the audio-only stream inside Twitch pages.
