- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13503974, 2 years agoOverall not bad, but the cloud save is not working at all. If I synch to cloud on my main computer, and check the cloud box on my 2nd computer, everything is gone. So its not just useless, it also removes all your set filters.

posted 2 years agoMost likely issues with the cloud service provided by the browser. Unfortunately I have no control over this. Backup/export your blacklist frequently and disable the cloud sync option in the extension settings of UTTV. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16070867, 2 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Eon, 2 years agoMuch as the last recent review, I also have been receiving the "The storage service encountered an unexpected error. Please wait a few minutes, restart your browser and try again." It seems to have 'frozen' the blacklist. No changes I make to the blacklist, whether it be adding or removing, seem to stay. It's been a few days since it started, and not even hitting clear all seems to do anything. When reloading the page it remains the same as before. This is my most used browser extension so I look forward to a fix! 5 star nontheless, considering this is the first time I've ever had an issue with it.
Edit: Disabling the cloud sync option, like suggested, fixed my issueDeveloper response

Used to work great before then.Developer response

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16969705, 2 years agoA lot of time investment for nothing. Added a lot of filters until the addon told me to restart firefox, because the settings could not be syncronized. After the restart EVERY SETTING WAS GONE! Wow! Hours of filtering all the crap out of twitch gone. So this addon is useless for people who actually use it. Great! Thanks for the hours wasted I invested in searching for tags, games, channels and so on.
Edit 2022-09-28:
Thanks for the reply. I gave it another chance and did exactly that. "reliable enough" is far beyond driven, considering that the locally saved settings should have priority over NULL cloud saved setting, isn't it?
BTW: this addon really could use a language filter, a positive list for languages.Developer response
posted 2 years agoI'm sorry this happened to you. If the browser's cloud fails on you, the only save is using the export/import feature to backup your blacklist. You can also disable the cloud sync altogether if the cloud service isn't reliable enough for you. - Rated 4 out of 5by jamvaru, 2 years agoYeah, i found the button. Why it can't be with the other buttons, idk.
Too bad the carousel is not supported for blocking, but there's an addon for that, no doubt. I enjoyed customizing twitch with ublock, but it's tricky.
Thanks, i'll try to figure out the manual blocking options.
I'd like to see a right click menu option for adding something to the block list, perhaps several options. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13298932, 2 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15022373, 2 years agoWorks amazingly well, instantly intuitive, easy reccomendation.
Platforms are growing insufferable with their content curation aimed directly at morons and genre creep based on that so I greatly appreciate any tool that I can get to carve that shit out of what I watch. - Rated 5 out of 5by NF, 2 years agoThe dev has been pretty clear regarding how occasionally the add-on will bork if twitch changes things up (which lets be honest, they do it quite frequently). Thanks for having this tool, this has really helped me do a better job of sifting thru the crap pile that is twitch
- Rated 2 out of 5by mark, 3 years agoIt's not very clear that you have to press an X button on things you want filtered out until you actually know to see it and look for it. I can't find out how to change settings or see where the block list is. More documentation would be good.
Edit: The icon for the settings menu is in the address bar for some reason. I spent too long looking all over the browser for it. Seriously - more documentation please.
Edit in response to dev reply: 1) Not everyone is able to see pictures, or can see them clearly - text description is very helpful. 2) Snarkily replying to someone asking for help and giving feedback with "Considering that you seem to have missed them, I doubt a text explanation would have helped here. =)" ... really sucks. 3) The screenshots did not match what I found in my browser. In the screenshots, it looks like the icon is in the "extension area" to the right of the address bar. My icon was IN the address bar. Firefox alone, itself, does not decide where to place icons.Developer response
posted 3 years agoHow extensions are presented (where the icons are and how users access them) is up to the browser. Firefox surely has a unique unobtrusive way.
Regarding documentation: Did you look at the screenshots? Considering that you seem to have missed them, I doubt a text explanation would have helped here. I'm sure you will figure it out. =)
Edit:
1) Understood. I might add a brief explanation where the controls are to be found and what they do in the future.
2) You didn't ask for help, you left a 2/5 review without ever contacting me. I have received lots of negative comments over the past years, especially when twitch.tv changes up something and thus breaks this extension. Your criticism certainly isn't unjustified, but I prefer to have an opportunity to fix an issue before the user leaves a low rating - just like I mention in the description.
3) Firefox changed that last year. There has been a lot of confusion around this topic. (Site specific add-ons appear in the address bar while non-specific add-ons are part of the toolbar). There is a workaround on this extension's GitHub repository available. And this is, in deed, unique to Firefox. If you know better, feel free to contribute to the extension via GitHub by either pointing to the corresponding docs, explaining how to alter the manifest or, even better, solve it and create a pull request. This is a free open source project, any help is welcome. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12810905, 3 years agoHow to use it? Any instructions or even decent hints? Any notions of this extension's interface, activity, or even presence?
Developer response
posted 3 years agoPretty self explanatory once you visit twitch.tv. What exactly do you need help with? - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 15099013, 3 years agoDidn't block all items in list; did block some.
Another edit: dirt rally 2 isn't being blocked. It's also blacklisted on "titles" and "tags"
Edit to reply to dev: Yes; blocked some games, but not others. Two I remember it didn't block: v rising and another game that began with a "c" (I know, not much help there.) I had both the games in the 'block game' and the 'block tag' (which I tried when the block game didn't work,) but they weren't reacting. - Rated 5 out of 5by General Delphox, 3 years ago
