Is Watch2Gether safe?
Watch2Gether is a co-viewing extension that lets users share and watch videos together on w2g.tv.
The extension adds a popup button to share the current page to a Watch2Gether room and injects a content script scoped to w2g.tv and rooms.w2g.tv to coordinate synchronized playback. It also includes a Twitch integration in the popup that fetches a Bearer token from static.w2g.tv at runtime and uses a hardcoded Twitch Client-ID to query the Twitch Helix API for clips, videos, and streams.

What this publisher told the store about itself, and the other listings that told it the same thing.
Shared hosts - 24 hostnames
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.
