- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16713860, 4 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 12636919, 4 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 5 out of 5by yuri0r, 4 years agoits really cool but lacks the popout feature that is buildinto firefox. really missing that.
edit: never mind its still accesable trough Shift+Richtclick take my 5 stars - Rated 5 out of 5by Stephan, 4 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by jherm86, 4 years agoWorks great. I'd rather sit in silence than have to listen to horrible loud ads. Sometimes I leave streams open while I am sleeping.
One issue I've noticed, is that even when the volume slider is all the way down, it does not fully mute the volume. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14407291, 4 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by ZackTheGreat, 4 years agoStopped working as of 5/21/2021, player blocked by website
- Rated 1 out of 5by PrivateIceScrumExtensions, 4 years agoEven when not used, CPU skyrocketing to 50%. Mining ?
- Rated 5 out of 5by Mozart, 4 years agoIt works GREAT when it actually shows up on the site, recently it just disappeared from the site and until that is fixed its just a 3 star review because when it works its 5/5 stars
EDIT: Works in new update, hopefully it stays working, 5 stars since its working - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14609807, 4 years agoUsed to work great until today, the button on the top right to switch to the player doesn't appear anymore.
Temp fix : go to your extensions > cogwheel top right > debug extensions > scroll to the Alternative Twitch player and click the manifest URL> replace /manifest.json by /player.html?channel=
This should work for now - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15942377, 4 years agoFixes my buffering issues and adds a slew of features. Thanks for fixing it!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Vitalii Makarchenkov, 4 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 16847056, 4 years agoonly for live and not for past broadcasts? (at least it doesn't work for me)
- Rated 5 out of 5by PatheticCockroach, 4 years agoGreat improvement over the Vanilla Twitch player. Notably good to get rid of ads, and for the possibilities given to tweak video buffering and all just like you want.
I just wish there was a way to force the UI to remain visible at all time (currently, if I move my mouse out of the video panel, things like the pause button get immediately hidden).
Edit: thanks for your superfast reply. That wasn't really my question though, pause was just an example for illustration, the thing is I just want to keep the whole UI visible at all time. That being said, apart from this minor point, the extension is AMAZING. Can't believe I've been able to bear Twitch without it before, it's a life-changer. Thanks.
