Valutata 2 su 5
di Utente Firefox 14034966, 6 mesi faSince it doesn't retain the list of channels one follows next to the player, it is very annoying and strange to deal with. So I'd have to lie to give it a good rating. I want to give 1 star, but give it 2, since it can hide Twitch ads - although there are other means to achieve that. And it provides replay, or more precisely access to the live VOD. This was also possible on Twitch in the past by clicking on a link within an instant clip from a stream that's still live. I think this functionality would also be better as a separate addon, instead of using this strange, inconvenient player. What's also annoying is that the dark mode of the chat always gets reversed when one hides the chat.
P.S.: Since I can't answer to the developer's answer... Whatever he means by "instant replay", if there is anything else than "Rewatch this broadcast" where it opens a VOD link at a specified amount earlier, it's impossible to find anyway. Probably he has just another definition of a "VOD link", obviously it's still live but works just as a VOD when it's no longer live. But this is not even a criticism as such.

Replica dello sviluppatore
pubblicato il 6 mesi faNo, instant replay is not VOD link. It works even on channels without VOD.

- Valutata 5 su 5di Sakujo, 12 giorni faWorks really well. Should have much higher rating. If you want to watch with the Twitch player, just click on the title on top. Easily solves annoying Twitch ads. Will play in lower resolution for the ad duration, but overall works more often than ublock origin (for twitch)

- Valutata 3 su 5di AustralianAlex, 2 mesi faWas working quite well until recently, it will now infinitlely buffer while ads are playing instead of hiding them like usual. I would suggest finding an alternative, as the last update was some time ago.
- Valutata 1 su 5di Utente Firefox 19584902, 2 mesi faThis broadcast is encrypted. The Alternate Player for Twitch.tv extension does not support encrypted broadcasts. Click the “Back” button to return to the previous page.

- Valutata 5 su 5di Adam S. Messinger, 3 mesi faIt works well at blocking ads but the typing area in the chat window will no longer work as of last week. It was perfect before that.
Update: As of 11-30-25 its working for me with no problems. - Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 18112385, 3 mesi fa

- Overall, a shady addon.
1. Addon has BSD license without source code linked.
2. It sends telemetry, unique persistent device fingerprint, device, screen, date and time, time zone, CPU, GPU, languages information when you try to send a report.
3. Contrary to its policy (coolcmd.github.io/privacy.html#tw5-en), you cannot refuse to include the data, only refuse to send the report altogether.
4. The server URL is not disclosed: r90354g8.beget.tech/tw5/report3.php
5. Chat in the extension page doesn't save theme across browser sessions.
EDIT: you can still see the extension's code in the browser, it's not minified. IT'S IN RUSSIAN (yes, the whole code, not just the comments).

``` - Valutata 2 su 5di TomTrustworthy, 4 mesi faJust found that this extension is causing me to be unable to watch Amazon Prime videos. Each video would show some message like "That shouldn't have happened." I tried a few troubleshooting steps but nothing helped. Disabling this addon made it so i can watch amazon stuff again.
- Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 17607442, 4 mesi faEverything works flawlessly now. (as of jan 27, 2026) Only issue I have is that it auto-opens the player and doesn't revert with ?twitch5=0 when it notices that there's already one open. Oh, yeah, also pls add middle clicking support on the upper bar cuz it currently makes the UI disappear.

- Valutata 1 su 5di Ash Nakano, 5 mesi faI decided after having issues with Twitch again today to give this addon a try. Now I remember that I've tried this addon before for Firefox and I wish I could say that I could give this more than a 1-star but it doesn't work. I've tried figuring it out to be sure it wasn't me and I checked the other reviews here, but other folks seem to have problems getting this addon to function and play a live Twitch stream. To the author of the addon, if this addon worked once before, it sadly did not work for me more than a year ago and doesn't work now.
