- Rated 4 out of 5by Kuchinawa, 4 months 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 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17971648, 4 months 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 4 out of 5by ryoki_ph, 4 months 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 4 out of 5by Homage, 5 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 4 out of 5by yensama, 8 months 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, 9 months 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 shoelaceninja, a year 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, a year 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, a year 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, a year 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, a year 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, 2 years 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, 2 years agogood extension, it could be better if you implement 7tv compatibility, i really hope you will
- Rated 4 out of 5by Dream, 2 years 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, 2 years agoAgain problem with collecting channel points and drops... Any update?
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16751724, 2 years 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.
