- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13703658, 6 years agoI used it only because it was the only solution to ads for me. Now it shows ads so it's pointless to use with inferior features to twitch's website.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13543482, 6 years agoused it to block ads, it no longer does this. pointless now.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14706033, 6 years agoIt used to work like a charm for me, but suddenly I've started getting advertisements on the streams again, I tried to watch a stream earlier and still got some dumb samsung phone ad instead. Even after updating this still occurs.
It also doesn't auto start for me anymore, I have to manually click the twitch5 icon every time.
EDIT: Yep, literally every stream I try to go to plays an ad now.
EDIT2: It's another change that twitch made with their preroll ads. Look twitch, I don't hate all ads, just the cancerous preroll ones.
EDIT3 if people were using this for ad blocking, consider this. https://github.com/instance01/Twitch-HLS-AdBlock - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14426330, 7 years agonot BTTV compatible (the BTTV settings link is not visible)

posted 7 years agobttv settings are on twitch.tv website. and you can create clips. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14393142, 7 years agoIt worked great when I first got it. Although with the developers genius new update, it no longer works. Left click to start extension? Right click to auto start. Neither work. 10/10 update.
Update: Works on live stream, NO LONGER works on pre recorded twitch vids. You get spammed with the same commercial every 2 minutes, while watching a recorded stream lol... 100% intolerable. - Rated 2 out of 5by kittenwithmittens, 7 years ago
