- Rated 2 out of 5by LOLYOU, a month 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, 3 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, 6 months 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, 7 months 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 Johnj_es1233, 2 years agonow i cant at people on Twitch they changed how that works on latest update. otherwize an amazing addon
- Rated 2 out of 5by Kurgan, 2 years agoAds force the player to shift down to 480p then black screen until finished. Almost unusable. Please fix.
- 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, 4 years agoРасширение останавливает воспроизведение на блокировку рекламы, даже если реклама на стриме отстуствует.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 16459993, 4 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, 4 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, 5 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.
Developer response
posted 6 years agoPlease disable WebRender until Firefox developers fix this issue. See https://www.google.com/search?q=disable+firefox+webrender - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14520337, 6 years agoCouldn't find a way to scroll down the page to see the streamer's info other than disable this addon

- 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
