## Why This Setup Is Required

This extension uses your own Twitch developer credentials to make API requests directly through your Twitch application.

This approach is:

* More secure
* Does not rely on shared public keys
* Helps avoid global API rate limits
* Allows higher request limits on your own developer account

Your credentials are used locally within the extension and are not stored or transmitted to external servers.
