- Rated 5 out of 5by jherm86, a year agoWorks great. I'd rather sit in silence than have to listen to horrible loud ads. Sometimes I leave streams open while I am sleeping.
One issue I've noticed, is that even when the volume slider is all the way down, it does not fully mute the volume. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14407291, a year ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by ZackTheGreat, a year agoStopped working as of 5/21/2021, player blocked by website
- Rated 1 out of 5by PrivateIceScrumExtensions, a year agoEven when not used, CPU skyrocketing to 50%. Mining ?
- Rated 5 out of 5by Mozart, a year agoIt works GREAT when it actually shows up on the site, recently it just disappeared from the site and until that is fixed its just a 3 star review because when it works its 5/5 stars
EDIT: Works in new update, hopefully it stays working, 5 stars since its working - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14609807, a year agoUsed to work great until today, the button on the top right to switch to the player doesn't appear anymore.
Temp fix : go to your extensions > cogwheel top right > debug extensions > scroll to the Alternative Twitch player and click the manifest URL> replace /manifest.json by /player.html?channel=
This should work for now - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15942377, a year agoFixes my buffering issues and adds a slew of features. Thanks for fixing it!

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 16847056, a year agoonly for live and not for past broadcasts? (at least it doesn't work for me)
- Rated 5 out of 5by PatheticCockroach, a year agoGreat improvement over the Vanilla Twitch player. Notably good to get rid of ads, and for the possibilities given to tweak video buffering and all just like you want.
I just wish there was a way to force the UI to remain visible at all time (currently, if I move my mouse out of the video panel, things like the pause button get immediately hidden).
Edit: thanks for your superfast reply. That wasn't really my question though, pause was just an example for illustration, the thing is I just want to keep the whole UI visible at all time. That being said, apart from this minor point, the extension is AMAZING. Can't believe I've been able to bear Twitch without it before, it's a life-changer. Thanks. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15171615, a year agoGreat plugin, really saved me when trying to watch streams on my raspberry pi when they kept crashing the browser before. Wish I could increase the volume past max tho on a quiet laptop
- Rated 4 out of 5by Vyrd, a year agoIt's almost perfect, but you can't whisper people with this addon enabled.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Medievalman22, a year agoHuge improvement over the default player, excluding the odd theater preference. Videos load way faster, buffer less, and adds extra customization. Also, it solves the vanishing controls bug, which is why I used it initially. (EDIT: Doesn't solve the vanishing controls for VODs)
