- Rated 4 out of 5by Dream, 2 years agoThis is an amazing extension but it needs to be updated to work with new 7TV v3 because it doesnt work at all.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Wally, 2 years agoWorks great & saves a LOT of CPU cycles.
Login bug was fixed so chat & other such works as of 5/21/2023. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17540283, 2 years agoThe only extension that i've found that works on blocking Twitch Ads. Only problem i have right now its channel points not working. Hope it gets fixed soon.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17795136, 2 years agoThank you to your amazing alternate twitch player ! it works like a charm here. Sadly i cant make a paypal donation... when i try it says me that "this user cannot accept payements"... i'll definitely try again from time to time until it works :)
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16751724, 2 years agoIs there anything that can be done with the stream delay? There's like a 2 second delay on streams. It's obvious seeing the reactions from the chat coming in early, or even when I compare it with my tablet.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14816717, 2 years agoIt's pretty great, but for some reason there is no option to see the followed streamers left sidebar. I use that a LOT so it unfortunately prevents me from being able to use this.

- Rated 5 out of 5by SearedBeard, 2 years agoThis add-on has been great but updated today and now channel points no longer increase for any channel. Tested disabling the add-on and channel points work again.
Edit: Tried two earlier versions and channel points don't work. Maybe Twitch changed their API again.
Edit 2: Points working again. Back to 5 stars! - Rated 5 out of 5by Torbjørn, 2 years agoLooks great, thanks CoolCmd. Would it be possible to make it work for archives on twitch as well? I am having annoying issues with the standard player for archives, and feel like yours would work way better.

- Rated 3 out of 5by furydeath, 2 years agoIt use to work but not when it's "hiding ads" it just pause the stream might as well just watch the ad.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Omnivore, 2 years agoTwitch API changes have broken this extension, for most users. You can view video but, login is failing (so no chat or user presence.) Until it's updated, you'll need to find another method. This is by far the best Twitch viewing experience, when it works. I'd donate in a heartbeat if the creator relocated and started taking other currencies ...

posted 2 years agoIf you have browser extension DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials (or similar privacy extensions) installed, try to disable/remove it. Also read the built-in help in the player. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17745918, 2 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Mandy, 2 years agoWorks pretty well; my main gripe is the lack of the streamer list on the left side of the interface. There's no real way to see when a streamer has popped online to stream without exiting the interface or having another window open. Fix this and it's easily 5 stars.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Roman, 2 years agoI still don't understand which of my extensions stop this one from working, but some of them do. Disclaimer: by "stops this one from working" I mean that I can't log into Twitch and use chat with this extension's player. Sometimes, I turn off an extension, then this player starts working for a while, but then when I refresh the page this player stops working again. So, in the end, the choice is thus: you either use this extension and this extension only, OR you use anything and everything else. It's not for me. Twitch is just one of the websites I use, and I need my extensions for others.
