- Rated 4 out of 5by ampersanded, 6 days agopros: no ads or random pauses, instant playback, customizable/tons of options, off-load chat, pretty seamless integration.
cons: delay is longer than the default viewer, no replacement for the sidebar showing who is live/following, 2k/encrypted streams weren't working but idk if they patched it, can't get 7TV/emotes working but I could just be stupid.
alt player is good for lurking/watching but the delay & difficulty getting emotes may ruin it for active chatters. very good for clippers/editors since it has playback. im not really sure if drops/gift subs work but i assume they do if you have chat enabled. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17141016, 12 days agowould be 5* if it still preserved the follower list on the left

- Rated 4 out of 5by AJ, 2 months agoDoesn't save chat dark mode when using BTTV, otherwise works great
- Rated 4 out of 5by Hitesh, 2 months agoInstead of resolution decreasing, the screen is going black when an ad plays. Please have a look

- Rated 4 out of 5by trav1295, 4 months agoI want to use this, but unfortunately the 7TV emote button doesn't appear for the chat. I don't know if it's possible to integrate that somehow with the installed extension? I would also prefer it not take up the entire screen :/ but thank you for the effort

- Rated 4 out of 5by Kuchinawa, 9 months agoVery great addon. The only bad thing is the video is in 144p while hiding ads. I don't know if it's my fault (bad configuration of the addon) or is it like so, but if it can be changed, i'll leave a 5 stars instead of 4.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17971648, 9 months agoI like this extension, it is good and lightweight too! I would use this extension more if it worked with the raid, but otherwise it works great!
- Rated 4 out of 5by ryoki_ph, 9 months agogenerally very good add-on that takes away a lot of the bulk of the twitch website and makes it run smoother.
only two caveats though, my main being that you cannot use firefox's picture-in-picture function with it at all. I'm someone who very often, pops out the windows of twitch streams while doing other things, and the inability to do it with this add-on is surprising and kind of baffling to me, as i thought this would've been a somewhat high-priority function that people use a lot. the second is that you chat display settings between light mode and dark mode are not saved when you close it or go between normal twitch and the alternate player. other than that, its very good. - Rated 4 out of 5by Homage, 10 months agoVery good extension, only gripe is that dark mode doesn't stay enabled when the viewer is reloaded other than that 4.5 out of 5!

- Rated 4 out of 5by yensama, a year agoThe addon doent auto start. I have to press the shield icon everytime for it to work. I have tried right clicking to toggle it on/off.
- Rated 4 out of 5by naka, a year agoReally neat add on, but i personally don't like that it's completely separated from the actual twitch site. It'd be better if it could just replace twitch's own player somehow, no idea if that's even possible but it is what it is.
- Rated 4 out of 5by shoelaceninja, a year agoBetter than the twitch player. Twitch standard player, if hiding both side panels, always shows channel info below the video, leaving black bars on either side of the video because the website doesn't expand the video height to take advantage of all of the space.
This extension allows the player to be bigger, but it's still a pain not having a popout menu that shows my followed streamers. I have to exit the page and return to twitch to view other streamers and people I follow. A simple toggle similar to the chat would be great. - Rated 4 out of 5by edward37, 2 years agoPretty great extension, only issue is that since like november, or maybe before, the channel points don't get collected anymore. Any info regarding this ?
- Rated 4 out of 5by Entheo, 2 years agoIt works much better than normal Twitch player.
HOWEVER: It's such a shame the left side-bar isn't showing. I pains me greatly :(
