| 2024-11-20 | Firefox user 18694224 | | Why 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 |

| 2024-11-18 | LSTA | | Excellent 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. |
| 2024-11-17 | Kuchinawa | | Very 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. |

| 2024-11-10 | Firefox user 17971648 | | I 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! |
| 2024-11-09 | ryoki_ph | | generally 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. |
| 2024-11-08 | michael | | The most reliable adblock for twitch. Still having issues with default chat dark mode but otherwise works very well. |
