- Rated 1 out of 5by innesm, 5 years agoUnfortunately unusable. The video is displayed larger than the screen, and it's impossible to scroll the view to get to the controls. It's a shame because the twitch web viewer is so bad, but this manages to be worse. Even the app help is half off the screen ☺️
Developer response
posted 5 years agomost likely the browser zoom level is too high. in this case, most sites will be "unusable". press the V key in the player and reduce the interface size. - Rated 3 out of 5by Kaisei, 5 years agoNo way to see channel info without going back to Twitch player. Also, all options are cut off in the chat settings because it puts the chat behind the video player.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13645769, 5 years agoFor some reason it started saving 30 sec clips of the channels I watch at random.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13565575, 5 years agoAny chance we can get a lighter version that only improves the quality of the player without going overboard changing its entire appearance and adding unnecessary stuff?
As it stands right now, it feels bloaty. I had to remove it because for whatever reason, it took me to some other ongoing stream too without me clicking anything. - Rated 5 out of 5by will, 5 years ago

:( help?
-----------------------------------------
-EDIT
Rebooted computer and it works just fine.
I enjoy the low ram and cpu usage.
Tyvm for this tool!
Although it does break when I switch my user agent from Firefox to Chrome, but I guess I can live with keeping my useragent as Firefox.
Feel free to comment for debug info if you want. - Rated 5 out of 5by Jaysont34, 5 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Onabi, 5 years agoI use it on an older PC where Twitch in Firefox was lagging with 720p and this addon improved the performance, so I have more frames and no more lags. The UI is ok.

- Rated 5 out of 5by review man, 5 years agoI've been using the addon since it was released but after the latest update, I got this message:
"One of your browser settings prevents the “Alternate Player for Twitch.tv” extension from working. To fix it, open the tab with the address about:config. On the page, paste privacy.firstparty.isolate into the search field. The current status of this setting will appear below. Double-click it to change the value to “false”."
I know I can change this setting but I don't want to. I see no reason why this is now required to use the addon. Will it be fixed any time soon? - Rated 3 out of 5by Spf, 5 years agoWorked like a charm for a very long time. Recently I cannot get the chat to show up anymore. It's just a blank white box. I did not touch any of the settings.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12312889, 5 years agoI love this addon and I use it completely in place of twitch's player. I was wondering if there was a way to remove the black bars when in fullscreen for a fully immersive experience.
https://imgur.com/a/TlDoeHU I know when you close the chat window and fullscreen it almost removes the black bars. Just a suggestion or comment. Love the addon twitch's player is total garbage. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14624184, 5 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14312757, 5 years agoCan confirm for dev that Twitch Drops work perfectly fine.
- Rated 4 out of 5by themineraria, 5 years agoWhat a wonderful add-on! Would love the VOD support 'cause when I left click on the button when watching one, sadly nothing happens.. Otherwise 👏👏
(I'm on Firefox 70.0.1) - Rated 3 out of 5by Christoph Wagner, 5 years agoUsed to work well, but twitch now sends X-FRAME-OPTION: SAMEORIGIN for the popout chat. It needs to be changed to https://www.twitch.tv/embed/{CHANNEL}/chat
