- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 16446069, 5 years agoWorked amazing for a month or so, and now every time I go to initialize it, it tells me that the streamer I'm trying to watch has ended their stream. I was hoping that this would be a solid work around. Guess I'm back to not watching Twitch anymore.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Michael, 5 years agoThis is an amazing extension. Everything is super smooth, low CPU usage, and it's just an infinitely better experience than the bloated official Twitch player. The only issue I have with it is that it seems to have a significant delay in regards to the chat and the stream.

- Rated 5 out of 5by b_zy, 5 years agoSeems to be working once again. Even if it eventually doesn't work, I'm very happy the work is being put in to combat the amazon ad apocalypse.
- Rated 5 out of 5by ocho, 5 years agoRe-installed the addon, works without problems!
Make this add-on great (again!). Loving it! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16274713, 5 years agoThis is such a good addon with a hardworking dev playing cat and mouse with Twitch on a daily basis it seems - don't leave a negative review just because the addon worked perfectly up until now! Leave a positive review for all the free quality/experience improvements you've gotten until now.
- Rated 5 out of 5by JD, 5 years agoAbsolutely fantastic addon that the author regularly updates to work around Twitch's terrible ad-filled experience. This fixes everything. Get it!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13271988, 5 years agoActually I had to realize how good it is when it suddenly stopped working. Absolutely 5 stars. I can confirm it works with new Twitch API if you reinstall this addon.
- Rated 5 out of 5by NisTa, 5 years agoRe-install the extension. It finally works now. Thank you for this amazing tool CoolCmd.

at this time this add-on dosnt work. i can add more stars when fixed. chmil blik - Rated 5 out of 5by Sarioah, 5 years agoEDIT: Developer has fixed the API issue, player is working again, actual review to follow.
This extension has proven to be a godsend for me. Using satellite internet, twitch's own player has been broken for years. The control this player offers over the video buffer is absolutely fantastic for dealing with a "quirky" internet connection.
Many thanks to the developer for enabling me to enjoy channels on twitch.tv <3 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14337368, 5 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by mrgear, 5 years agoPress F to pay respects. This was the best solution I've ever found, it blocked ads, avoided twitch's stupid algorithm that reduced quality/stopped player when not on the tab and abusive RAM consume by Twitch.tv it self. I hope somehow developer can find a way to bring it back even if it backs without the adblocker feature. Alexander today, Alexander tomorow, Alexander Forever <3
- Rated 5 out of 5by Phoenix-y, 5 years agoTwitch is relentless in its war against adblockers. This is a Twitch-being-Amazon thing and not an add-on issue. Adblocker developers have their work cut out for them since they're combating Amazon for their own relevancy. This add on is great and hopefully they update it soon.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16597289, 5 years agoWorked great ever since I first downloaded it, none of the freezing or lagging problems I had with the default player. Looks like Twitch disabled it somehow, hope it's back up soon.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Smooth, 5 years agoAlternate Player for Twitch.tv is the best way to make twitch.tv bearable. The UI is better and cleaner, the controls/settings for buffering are better, ads are blocked, 100 trackers are not loaded. Its extremely useful extension and i cant recommend it enough.
- Rated 5 out of 5by alcojaguar, 5 years agoExcellent add-on, has worked flawlessly since I've gotten it. However, I can confirm that twitch seems to have updated something to make this add-on stop functioning for now. I look forward to an update, I pretty much can no longer watch Twitch without this.
Thank you again for the great add-on! - Rated 5 out of 5by KURIS, 5 years ago
