Twitch Steam Link is a Chrome browser extension that adds smart Steam Store links next to game names on the Twitch website. The extension enhances your browsing experience by providing direct links to games in the Steam Store.
We DO NOT collect any personal data from users.
The extension works entirely locally in your browser and does not send any information to our servers or any third-party services.
