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.

    Forgive me if I wait for more concrete evidence than the word of a guy who refuses to cite his sources because he thinks Twitch is in collusion with the US Government and he may be thrown in jail or disappeared for doing a write up on some publicly available source code.
