Twitch is a dangerous website, the extension probably won’t be back. They could still easily target you at any time and you are just lucky they are sending ads. After some time of using the extension twitch will react and become even more toxic.

Twitch even has a network sniffer in its source code (among other things), its so much worse than just ads, some of these experiments are basically malware/pup that no-one would install on their device willingly, these instances aren’t just left over code from some library they are deliberately crafted experiments that are present in the active code path.

    Oh! Good news: it’s total lunacy, as also indicated by others.

    But if that was really your intent, maybe the title should be “Is this real or not?” instead of some clickbaity junk

      I’m pretty sure “claim” and “new” already tell you “is this real or not”.

        “Unhinged amateur who can only read function names overreacts to some boring JavaScript” would be more accurate.

          1. I really doubt that the function names are really there, after all almost all big websites have their JS minified now…
          2. They said “No, I am not just looking at variable names you amateurs.” before accusing the other user featured in the screenshot of hacking their computer
