Dosent work opens up the text chat a link that doesn't work

Works really well, and with Vivaldi syncing extensions, it actually syncs this extension between browsers, which is really nice. Would be a 5 star rating if it supported Twitch's weird 2FA code. But for the other stuff I use, it works really well.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Web2FA - Authenticator requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
