by ryoki_ph, 18 days agogenerally very good add-on that takes away a lot of the bulk of the twitch website and makes it run smoother.
only two caveats though, my main being that you cannot use firefox's picture-in-picture function with it at all. I'm someone who very often, pops out the windows of twitch streams while doing other things, and the inability to do it with this add-on is surprising and kind of baffling to me, as i thought this would've been a somewhat high-priority function that people use a lot. the second is that you chat display settings between light mode and dark mode are not saved when you close it or go between normal twitch and the alternate player. other than that, its very good.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 18694224, 6 days 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 5 out of 5by LSTA, 9 days agoExcellent extension, highly recommend. Only bug I've noticed is that when a streamer raids, the chat will update to the new stream, but the video doesn't update and there's no link to click to manually visit the raided stream. If fixing the video bug isn't possible after a raid, maybe just add a link to the stream to the chat window. I know normally there is a link above the video, and the chat is a frame, but ... yeah, only bug I've found with it. Otherwise absolutely 5 stars, no question.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Kuchinawa, 10 days agoVery great addon. The only bad thing is the video is in 144p while hiding ads. I don't know if it's my fault (bad configuration of the addon) or is it like so, but if it can be changed, i'll leave a 5 stars instead of 4.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Tyrone, 17 days agoAllows utilization of other addons on the Twitch interface like uBlock! To hell with ads! Thank you for this addon!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17971648, 17 days agoI like this extension, it is good and lightweight too! I would use this extension more if it worked with the raid, but otherwise it works great!
- Rated 5 out of 5by michael, 19 days agoThe most reliable adblock for twitch. Still having issues with default chat dark mode but otherwise works very well.
- Rated 5 out of 5by AR45H, 25 days agoMy favorite twitch ad blocking solution.
I only have 1 feature request.
Please add volume boost functionality. No volume boost extension works on the extension player page. - Rated 5 out of 5by Craneli, a month ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Irdi, a month agoThe extension works great I even noticed that my laptop runs cooler and more quite when watching a stream. Great job!

- Rated 1 out of 5by Deez, a month agoAddon simply doesn't work in any capacity. I removed Ublock and Ghostery nothing I do will make the player function. With it set to auto it never opens and when I left click nothing occurs. Tried it on chrome and works perfectly so it's not user error.
- Rated 3 out of 5by KC, a month agoWorks fine, but for some stupid reason you can't have your followed channels list visible anywhere, you have to go to the menu for that.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18466270, a month agoI hate having to keep switching from light to dark mode. And recently been having problems with chat straight up freezing. Doesn't show 7TV emotes and quality drops when there are ads. Blocks all ads though very well
- Rated 5 out of 5by Hans, a month agoA true livesaver! I tried various Extensions to block ads, some of them use crazy techniques like proxying all requests and stuff like that, but still don't work as good as this Extension.
I've been using this Alternate Player for weeks, not a single Ad made it through. If a Ad is played, the video quality just drops for the duration of it, the sound stays, so you won't miss anything.
Also the player loads much faster than the default purple player, also a very nice feature.
Thank you for this great Extension, it really made twitch bearable again for me! - Rated 5 out of 5by Murr, a month ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16656949, 2 months agosince over 3 months chat theme keeps resetting back to light one, swithing light and dark themes in twitch browser setting doesn't solve the problem anymore

- Rated 4 out of 5by Homage, 2 months agoVery good extension, only gripe is that dark mode doesn't stay enabled when the viewer is reloaded other than that 4.5 out of 5!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Kase, 2 months agoWorks to block ads when other solutions are broken. I just wish chat opened in dark mode by default! Really enjoy the customizable themes. Will update my review if any ads get through
