Really useful extension, the player loads a loads and performs a lot better than regular twitch player, unfortunately with the added 1440p quality streams that use that option have stopped working entirely if you use the extension.

hey guys, here from chrome. i finally decided to change only cose of this extension xD

works as described as of 2025-07-01

Александр, добавьте пожалуйста возможность смотреть зашифрованные трансляции, их становится все больше и больше. Спасибо.

"This broadcast is encrypted. The Alternate Player for Twitch.tv extension does not support encrypted broadcasts." 50% of streams are broken for this reason.

I love this extension, it makes watching twitch a much better and smoother experience. There are some drawbacks but the upsides are so great. I hope the developer keeps updating it.

Great player that blocks pefectly annoying ads on twitch. Thank you Dev !
Edit: Now, that some channels on twitch broadcast in 2K, these streams no longer can be ad-blocked.
Message: "This broadcast is encrypted. The Alternate Player for Twitch.tv extension does not support encrypted broadcasts. Click the “Back” button to return to the previous page."
Hopefully the dev will have a look at it.

App was 5/5, but now it no longer works with broadcast that stream in 1440p60 (will update rating if that changes)

No longer works on encrypted lives that broadcast in 2K.

Instead of resolution decreasing, the screen is going black when an ad plays. Please have a look

No longer works on encrypted lives that broadcast in 2K / 4K

Eines der wichtigen AddOns, wenn man viel Twitch guckt.
Nicht nur ist der Player schön Ressourcenschonend, sondern blockt am zuverlässigsten die Werbung und entfernt den Müll drum herum.

Es gibt nur ein Nachteil: Der Puffer ist etwas größer als beim direkten Twitch-Player.
1-2sec Verzögerung gibts dadurch ontop.

MUST HAVE extension for twitch. The only issue currently is it doesn't work with the new resolution settings

good, but broken with Twitch's new resolution
