- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14034966, 18 days agoSince 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.Developer response
posted 18 days agoNo, instant replay is not VOD link. It works even on channels without VOD. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 18747101, 21 days agoDoesn't work with encrypted streams, so it can't get a better rating until this is fixed.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Swisslipz, 2 months agoNo longer works on encrypted lives that broadcast in 2K / 4K
- Rated 2 out of 5by LOLYOU, 8 months agoIt works but the Chat tab is full black and doesn't show anything, Channel points thing is non-existant, It's fine otherwise.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 18694224, 9 months agoWhy the whole look of twitch has to change to use the alternate player? I only want the video player to be different? Why does the whole page is gone? Where are my followed channels? Where can i browse anything? Where is twitch? This is bad
- Rated 2 out of 5by maedas, a year agoChat does not remember dark mode (needs to be reapplied every time you open it). Kind of critical functionality that's broken.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Mike, a year agoI used this extension and was prompt to change a firefox privacy setting in the "about:config" to false. Does anyone know which setting that was? I'd like to change it back to what it was normally but can't find any information on it.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15378146, 2 years agoаддон вроде норм работает, но
• при первом запуске требует поменять натсройку в aout config/ Причём делает это при переходе на страницу твича. Это непрвильно, это нарушение нормальной работы бравзера. Сначала переход по ссылке и загрузка страницы, а потом выводи свои предупреждения хоть обвыводисб.
• далее, при смене этой настройки в about config все настройки и логины вылетают (почта, соцсеети вся хня ваша любимая ежедневная). ОБ ЭТОМ НУЖНО ПРЕДУПРЕжДАТЬ БОЛЬШИМИ БУКВАми БЛТБ - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 17180951, 2 years agoChannel Points and Drops earn and claim don't work anymore for the last couple months

- Rated 2 out of 5by Aviv, 3 years agook, so this one is pretty bad , first its said its hiding ads but lower ur res like normal twitch blocker. when u switch channels its just black screen while hiding ads . and there isnt any follower list on the left side .
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 12636919, 4 years agoImproves stream quality and stuttering on twitch and removes advertisements.
To anyone whose chat is not working: Allow "https://twitch.tv" in the cookie exceptions in Firefox. Make sure you use https instead of only http!
-1 star because I had to crawl through help menu in the addon instead of this being in the description on this site here. Also for the unprofessional developer response (after more than a month) "do not cry. read the help instead. LOL" instead of just giving a straight answer.
-1 star because the mouse cursor still always disappears which is REALLY annoying.
EDIT:
-1 star because the mouse cursor STILL disappears 4 years later. AT LEAST ADD AN OPTION TO ALWAYS KEEP IT VISIBLE! - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 16847056, 4 years agoonly for live and not for past broadcasts? (at least it doesn't work for me)
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 16748611, 4 years agoI have updated the app and dumped my cookies. I can't get it to stop playing ads on firefox browser.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Фугас Броколя, 5 years agoРасширение останавливает воспроизведение на блокировку рекламы, даже если реклама на стриме отстуствует.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 16459993, 5 years agoit was good for 2 weeks, and then now the ads aren't blocked. Ads are back again

- Rated 2 out of 5by CapoFantasma97, 5 years agoIt's a completely scuffed experience.
It completely changes the stream's layout, making basically a worse looking forced theather mode: you can't therefore look the stream info or other elements like sub button, or the streams list sidebar.
It also adds a very noticeable delay in the stream, something not really welcome when you want to interact with the stream.
It also breaks Picture in Picture. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 12969445, 6 years agoComments keep getting back to old position, and you have to scroll everytime to see the new comments on stream if you press C while in full screen.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15052991, 6 years agoall of a sudden the chat panel is white and tells me to click login and open an external window. when i do it just goes doesn't work and i can't chat at all. tried reinstall.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15029702, 6 years agoBUG: There is black screen when i hover over any button from a extension. The screen freezes but the sound still playing.
