Extension Metadata
About this extension
Fork of Alternate Player for Twitch.tv by Alexander Choporov (CoolCmd). This version adds support for 2K/4K streams, a toggled column for followed channels, and fixes for chat dark mode (remembers setting and defaults to system setting). Also adds support for following raids, and brings some of the help text and suggestions up to date with current Firefox functionality. There is no telemetry or tracking, and the only data sent anywhere by the app is the same data sent to Twitch-related services when using the native web application.
All other aspects are identical to Alexander Choporov’s extension at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/twitch_5/. Give him the credit and financial support if you appreciate this extension.
Additionally, all code and comments have been translated into English. I still probably need to clean up some minor residual string artifacts, but it is an easier starting point to understanding what it’s doing for English-speaking developers. Translation was completed on the 2025 release when no updates had been made by the original developer for a year, but then he did make a release, so those changes have been back-ported to this codebase, including fixing the issue with streams not earning channel points.
I don’t use Chrome, and won’t be attempting to port any of this to their crippled extension API.
