The default Twitch.tv website and its player is not well optimized. This has been known for years.
This extension aims to improve this and does it with great success. See the screenshots.
The same channel has more than 50% less memory usage (meaning this extension is great for Laptops, MacBooks and so on) and uses 89% less CPU! I repeat, 89%!
- Your laptop doesn't get hot, no spinning fans, perfect for the summer
- You can play games during you watch streams
- Multiple streams is no problem
BUT: This is not the only feature this alternate player has.
- Instant replay of the last minutes of the live broadcast, optionally with increased/decreased speed or frame-by-frame. YES!
- You can tune the playback according to your internet speed, we also offer an "auto" setting.
- No Ads
- Option to disable the chat (even less Memory & CPU used)
What is this magic sauce?
There is no magic involved, but it's made by a russian called Alexander Choporov (CoolCmd), all credits to him for his great work. However, the original extension called Twitch 5 disappeared from the Webstore and no one knows why. But the original developer still updates it for Firefox and Edge.
So I, a German guy, is willing to bring this back. I've looked through all the source-code, checked it multiple times for malicious code or URLs. Nothing.
Code is Open-Source here: https://github.com/kurtextrem/Twitch5
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
