Version 9.9.9
Released Jun 19, 2026 - 560.86 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and later[9.9.9] - 2026-06-20
Changed
- Low Quality Fallback now defaults to enabled. Previously, users had to turn it on manually. It now ships enabled so everyone gets faster ad recovery out of the box: the extension starts on a quick 360p stream during ads, then automatically climbs back to native quality afterward. You can still disable it in the popup if you prefer native quality only.Source code released under MIT License

Version 9.9.0
Released Jun 11, 2026 - 539.49 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and later[9.9.0] - 2026-06-11- Fixed false ad-segment blocking for channels whose login contains ad-related words, such as “stitched,” while keeping real segment blocking unchanged.
- Fixed extension reconnect behavior after disabling and re-enabling it with a Twitch tab already open, so popup toggles and counters no longer require a page reload.
- Fixed direct clip-page visits so the extension initializes properly after leaving a clip page within Twitch’s single-page app navigation.

Version 9.8.4
Released Jun 11, 2026 - 531.19 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and later[9.8.4] - 2026-06-11- Improved Picture-in-Picture ad recovery so in-ad protections continue running during PiP playback instead of being paused by secondary-player handling.
- Fixed recovery reloads changing auto quality into a pinned quality after player reloads.
- Fixed rare preroll muting issues where the main player could be muted if no primary player was detected yet.
- Improved buffer monitor reliability so one unexpected error can no longer disable stall, freeze, and mute protections for the rest of the session.
- Reduced false dead-player rebuilds right after post-ad recovery reloads by giving the player time to decode its first frame.
- Fixed extension update takeover behavior so updated content scripts can properly replace older versions in already-open Twitch tabs.
- Fixed stale worker recovery events from a previous stream affecting the newly opened stream after navigation.
- Improved internal ad-blocking worker validation and cleanup for more reliable recovery behavior.

Version 9.8.1
Released Jun 11, 2026 - 530.54 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and later[9.8.1] - 2026-06-11- Improved Picture-in-Picture support so active PiP playback is treated like a visible tab for monitoring and recovery.
- Fixed ad-break protections in hidden tabs so backup stall recovery, frozen-playhead recovery, and competing-media muting can still run while the tab is in the background.
- Prevented automatic recovery reloads from closing PiP by downgrading them to pause/play while PiP is active, then allowing the reload after PiP exits when safe.
- Improved hidden-tab worker recovery so a crashed worker with dead playback can recover in the background while healthy playback remains uninterrupted.

Version 9.8.0
Released Jun 11, 2026 - 529.12 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and later[9.8.0] - 2026-06-11- Fixed muted playback after switching streams during an ad break. Media elements muted for ad recovery are now restored properly when moving to another stream.

- Muted Twitch’s separate ad player element as soon as it appears to prevent unwanted ad audio overlap.

Released Jun 9, 2026 - 516.92 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and later[9.6.1] — 2026-06-09- Stronger ad-segment stripping. Known ad segment URLs are removed even during safer fallback scans that skip automatic full-playlist stripping.

Version 9.6.0
Released Jun 9, 2026 - 383.74 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and later[9.6.0] — 2026-06-09- Retro synthwave theme.

Your choice is remembered between sessions.

autoplay, the worker releases the autoplay-only hold instead of reusing the same starving fallback. - Degraded page-side fallback catches more Twitch ad markers. Worker-crash fallback now uses the broader parser ad-marker detection and can exit cue-out ad blocks cleanly.

Version 9.4.3
Released Jun 8, 2026 - 379.44 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and later[9.4.3] — 2026-06-08- Pinned autoplay fallback recovers from thin-buffer starvation. Backup stall detection now treats a moving buffer as healthy only when it also has safe headroom, so a clean
autoplayfallback riding the live edge triggers a backup re-search instead of repeatedly stalling.
