- Rated 5 out of 5by mikeyaworski, 4 years agoRidiculous how people are leaving 1-2 star reviews because the app needs an update for a fix. The definition of "choosing beggars". It will be fixed shortly.
Anyway, this extension is amazing. If you leave or have left a bad review because it needs an update, at least remember to come back and change your review when it does get fixed. - Rated 5 out of 5by Denial, 4 years agoApp is currently not working, but 99% of the time it does and it works great! people who are voting low stars clearly don't know how to actually submit an issue to the developer.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16591398, 4 years agoVery nice extension but twitch probably changed something so that it no longer works at the moment. Hopefully it is possible to fix this.
A Few Moments Later: It works again :-) - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14125814, 4 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16589313, 4 years agoOnly thing that works to block all ads and purple screens on twitch right now. The volume is quieter than the default player for some reason, and the latency is a bit worse, but it's a small price to pay.
EDIT: Of course it stops working the day after I send this review. I assume twitch changed something but this extension is broken for me right now.
EDIT 2: Working again 2021/01/25. - Rated 5 out of 5by Antonio, 4 years agoThis add-on is a life saver! i have a 10mbit connection that is not constant in download.
With this addon i can increase the buffer specifying the goodness of the connection and stream never stop.
Thanks devs! i <3 you - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13239242, 4 years agoGreat player with a lot of thought put into it, but one star ding for lack of pop-out video support via Firefox picture-in-picture. ( https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/about-picture-picture-firefox )
UPDATE: It seems raiding doesn't function correctly, when the twitch channel raids another channel it doesn't swap to that channel's video feed when the first one stops broadcasting. The chat does swap, however. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16551374, 4 years agoAwesome add-on. Way more convenient then streamlink and streamlink twitch gui.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Zacharie, 4 years agoTwitch showing splash screens because apparently Jeff Bezos is going broke and really needs the ad revenue from Twitch Affiliates who don't even get a piece of the ad money anyway. Nothing like modding a channel that gets interrupted every ten minutes because twitch wants to have a QQ fest about using ad and tracker blockers.
also confirming to get addon to work again, all you need to do is remove the add on and re-add it. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12809733, 4 years agoCould use a way to only replace the player, not the whole tab's content.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Фугас Броколя, 4 years agoРасширение останавливает воспроизведение на блокировку рекламы, даже если реклама на стриме отстуствует.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16541025, 4 years agoVery good extension for weak computers and laptops. I have performance issues on default twitch player but with this all works fine.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Oranges, 4 years agoseems to be blocking ads 12/22 again
(better than nothing but still letting some through) - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16530986, 4 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by None, 4 years agovery nice addon, way less cpu usage & ram when watching a stream ( twitch use WAY too much ) one little thing, it seems like a message "hiding ads" for 15sec made his appearance,and it totaly stop the stream, which is a bit annoying. ( ok for now its unusable saddly as its like stop every 10min for that "hiding ads" thing, no idea what is happening or the reason )

- Rated 5 out of 5by Ghost, 4 years agoWorks great. Only problem is it doesn't join raids. Also a new development that twitch must have released in the past few days. Some streamer channels don't load with the addon and when you manually start the addon, it says The stream has ended. They are live at the time. Update: It's a new DMCA setting that streamers need to enable to stream Amazon Prime videos. So, I don't expect this to get fixed.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14054127, 4 years agoThe addon works nicely again! When tuning into a stream with ads, it says "Hiding ads" for 15 seconds. But instead of waiting 15 secs I can press [pause] and then [play] again so the stream starts without ads or long waiting time.
edit: I haven't seen a single ad or "hiding ad" since yesterday, I believe. Maybe they're gone completely now?
edit 2: Yes, they are! That's even better. Thanks, great job! - Rated 5 out of 5by eric, 4 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Papey Randall, 4 years agoAfter so many years, they still find a way to beat the twitch algorithm and provide us with an add-free experience. Thank you.
