- Rated 4 out of 5by yensama, 4 days agoThe addon doent auto start. I have to press the shield icon everytime for it to work. I have tried right clicking to toggle it on/off.
- Rated 4 out of 5by naka, a month agoReally neat add on, but i personally don't like that it's completely separated from the actual twitch site. It'd be better if it could just replace twitch's own player somehow, no idea if that's even possible but it is what it is.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18466270, a month agoWorks great, blocks all ads and doesn't freeze up like normal twitch does, only problem I am having is that 7TV is not working at all with this extension.

- Rated 4 out of 5by shoelaceninja, 3 months agoBetter than the twitch player. Twitch standard player, if hiding both side panels, always shows channel info below the video, leaving black bars on either side of the video because the website doesn't expand the video height to take advantage of all of the space.
This extension allows the player to be bigger, but it's still a pain not having a popout menu that shows my followed streamers. I have to exit the page and return to twitch to view other streamers and people I follow. A simple toggle similar to the chat would be great. - Rated 4 out of 5by edward37, 6 months agoPretty great extension, only issue is that since like november, or maybe before, the channel points don't get collected anymore. Any info regarding this ?
- Rated 4 out of 5by Entheo, 8 months agoIt works much better than normal Twitch player.
HOWEVER: It's such a shame the left side-bar isn't showing. I pains me greatly :( - Rated 4 out of 5by omano, 9 months agoDoes not work anymore for drops, you need to go to the official Twitch player to progress drop rewards. Also doesn't work good for blocking ads, in the past (multiple years ago) it was working well, no ads, no downtime, but now it just hides the ads so it stops the stream for one or two minutes, then it plays the stream again, not really good.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Matthias, 10 months agopretty nice player with one small issue I found at least happening on my system: channel points are not counted when using this. I disabled the alternate player and channel points were counted again, but not with it enabled. Bit sad, but I don't mind that much

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17656632, a year agoThe login issues plagueing the app for months might've finally been fixed. Was just able to make a comment while the add-on was active. Best add-on of its kind when it functions as intended.
EDIT: June 5th 2024 update
A fresh update after months without one. Now, videos keep playing when ads are running. Still easily the best alt player for Twitch out there. Keep it up! - Rated 4 out of 5by Paranoia, a year agogood extension, it could be better if you implement 7tv compatibility, i really hope you will
- Rated 4 out of 5by Dream, a year agoThis is an amazing extension but it needs to be updated to work with new 7TV v3 because it doesnt work at all.
- Rated 4 out of 5by wotplayer80, a year agoAgain problem with collecting channel points and drops... Any update?
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16751724, a year agoIs there anything that can be done with the stream delay? There's like a 2 second delay on streams. It's obvious seeing the reactions from the chat coming in early, or even when I compare it with my tablet.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Mandy, 2 years agoWorks pretty well; my main gripe is the lack of the streamer list on the left side of the interface. There's no real way to see when a streamer has popped online to stream without exiting the interface or having another window open. Fix this and it's easily 5 stars.
- Rated 4 out of 5by styder, 2 years agoI like most of this add-on but a couple things are keeping it from being perfect. First is the lack of an option to turn back on the list of streams I follow, meaning I have to keep another window open and switch to it to see if people Im not watching come online. Another small gripe is all the mouseover explanations in the statistics page are in Russian even when I have the language set to English so most of that data is useless. Other than that, and a little bit of extra delay it introduces to the stream, its a great alternative to the vanilla player.
- Rated 4 out of 5by cooleosis, 2 years agoBeen using for a day, seems to work better than the vanilla player. Only complaints are the less streamlined UI (whatever) and the lack of the left sidebar that shows your follows and if they're online or not.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15061120, 2 years agoAddon is good. My only problem with it is you can't message in chat when you use the player, instead you need to turn back to old browser(which actually takes 2 seconds) and then type what you want to do but since it blocks the ads, when you go back to classic player 90% of the time an ad will pop
- Rated 4 out of 5by Vsk, 2 years agoОтличный аддон, без него HD не тянет. Жаль, что сломалась аутентификация в чате. И ещё хотелось бы, чтобы можно было через интерфейс аддона запускать и записи прошлых трансляций.
- Rated 4 out of 5by total, 2 years agoawesome, less laggy than the actual twitch website, been using this for a while. one issue thats come up though is that i am unable to clip streams as of recently. it was fine maybe a few months ago but now im entirely unable to. if that can be fixed this would be five stars, but even then this is a great addon :)
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15310696, 2 years agoAlmost perfect. Doesn't change channel when raiding :'/
