- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16272831, 4 years agoWonderful app. Fixes buffering issues I had when the chat goes wild, and the audio never becomes distorted. Very clean player. However, it's buggy. It crashes often if I leave it running when a stream ends.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15864120, 4 years agoWorks great. I can see my energy impact is more than halved in about:performance after switching to this. My request: Can you build a bonus channel points auto clicker embedded in the player or make it so that those kind of extensions work with your extension. Thanks a lot.
- Rated 5 out of 5by hutu, 4 years agosince today this add-on stops working.Twitch URL doesn't change. I can still use this on chrome tho.
PS:User Agent Switcher may cause this issue.I changed it to Firefox and it works fine. - Rated 4 out of 5by dpell23_, 4 years agoI can't get my latency below 5-6 seconds even with the best settings available, while Normal Twitch Player has a 1 to 2 seconds delay in low latency mode.
Other than that, the extension is very good. Highly recommended if you have a low-end system because the CPU and RAM usage will be very low compared to normal Twitch Player. - Rated 5 out of 5by Kaz, 4 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15954681, 4 years agoI've only been using this extension for about an hour so far, but it's allowed me to go from ~35% CPU usage to around 5% CPU usage while watching the same stream at 480p on my laptop. The only problem is that when I try to type in chat, it tells me "Login will open in a separate window." and then when I click the Log In button, I see "Login was cancelled, please try again."
This, however, is not a problem for me because I use Chatterino on the side and the overall CPU usage is lowered by so much that it's worth the minor inconvenience. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12641720, 4 years agoHost redirect doesn't work. E.g. streamer ends the stream and hosts someone, the chat gets redirected but you still see the offline screen of the streamer who just hosted. You have to right click on chat to show frame to see which channel was hosted and manually enter the channel name in the address bar.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Godsholyangel45, 4 years agoI don't know what u did with the last update, but you fixed the problem with my points collecting on Twitch. Thank you.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16136704, 4 years agothis add-on is great but recently I've stopped receiving those channel points when I'm watching streams (fixed)
- Rated 5 out of 5by FTECH, 4 years agoWonderful add-on, a must-have for lower end computers. Thank you so much !
Just a question: is there a way to get the latency to broadcaster at about 1-2 seconds ? I can't seem to get it lower than 6 seconds. On the normal twitch player, I can get it to 1-2 seconds, even 0.8 sometimes. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 10852150, 4 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by MDX, 4 years agoCertainly helps with CPU but I feel there's one thing missing, picture in picture support. Is this something that can be added?

Otherwise, it's pretty decent.
