- Rated 2 out of 5by maedas, 18 days 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, 2 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, a year 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, a year 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, 2 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, 3 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, 3 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, 3 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, 5 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, 5 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 5 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, 5 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, 5 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, 5 years agoused it to block ads, it no longer does this. pointless now.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14706033, 5 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 - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14426330, 6 years agonot BTTV compatible (the BTTV settings link is not visible)
not "clips" compatible
not vod compatible, so unusable for past episodes
cant view "panels"
cant use extensions
if you only want to watch and never interact, its fineDeveloper response
posted 6 years agobttv settings are on twitch.tv website. and you can create clips. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14393142, 6 years agoIt worked great when I first got it. Although with the developers genius new update, it no longer works. Left click to start extension? Right click to auto start. Neither work. 10/10 update.
Update: Works on live stream, NO LONGER works on pre recorded twitch vids. You get spammed with the same commercial every 2 minutes, while watching a recorded stream lol... 100% intolerable.
