- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12641720, 5 years agoHost redirect doesn't work. E.g. streamer ends the stream and hosts someone, the chat gets redirected but you still see the offline screen of the streamer who just hosted. You have to right click on chat to show frame to see which channel was hosted and manually enter the channel name in the address bar.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16136704, 5 years agothis add-on is great but recently I've stopped receiving those channel points when I'm watching streams (fixed)
- Rated 5 out of 5by FTECH, 5 years agoWonderful add-on, a must-have for lower end computers. Thank you so much !
Just a question: is there a way to get the latency to broadcaster at about 1-2 seconds ? I can't seem to get it lower than 6 seconds. On the normal twitch player, I can get it to 1-2 seconds, even 0.8 sometimes. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 10852150, 5 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by MDX, 5 years agoCertainly helps with CPU but I feel there's one thing missing, picture in picture support. Is this something that can be added?

Otherwise, it's pretty decent.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Dyxati, 5 years agoIt's pretty good and doesn't stutter or gets stuck on loading, but chat doesn't work it just says "Failed to load modules" since two months at least.

Is it me or something with addon? - Rated 4 out of 5by user9969328, 5 years agoI wish Twitch itself would implement an audio-only stream... Thanks for this addon!
Edit (July 21th, 2025): Downrating to 4 stars; I'm not entirely sure what encrypted streams mean here, shouldn't be all streams encrypted (like DRM-style), or is this some extra encryption on top of the usual HTTPS-Encryption thing? Those streams don't work in this addon. Some clarification would be nice. - Rated 5 out of 5by nx42, 5 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Broodyr, 5 years agoGreat add-on that fixed all my issues with the default Twitch player (constant buffering, random audio stuttering). There's one huge usability feature missing, or at least that I haven't found after searching through all the options: auto-play. It seems like sometimes it will auto-play, but most of the time I have to manually play the stream after opening it. Anyways, thanks for the great tool!
