Description

To start using it, open it, log in with your Twitch account so that the extension has access only to your public information and your follows, and, every time you click on the extension icon, you will see the streamers that you follow that are live. This extension supports *Just Went Live* notifications. If you want to enable them, open the extension, go to *Settings* and enable the Just Went Live notifications. There's also a button to log out from your Twitch account. Special thanks to everyone that helped test this extension: https://github.com/PedroS11/twitch-live-extension#contribution

It's asking me to sign in through my twitch account to use it. That definitly does not feel safe.

Hello Felix

Kept asking for permission. Possible spyware.

The way they make you log in is very suspicious. They're not logging you in in a browser, so you don't know if you're on the twitch domain. They could be stealing your login credentials and sell it later. Chrome should block this addon until they change this.

the only problem for me is that it's not showing pop up/notification when the channel I follow goes live. 'Just went live notification' is enabled from settings and still not showing :/

It's functional, but every single aspect of the UI is a big "Why?" Why does each stream take up 1/8 of the available space, forcing me to scroll through the list? Why does it force sorting by viewer count? Why does it dedicate space to the streamer's profile icon, something no one has ever cared about? Why doesn't it allocate enough space to fit longer game titles? Why does it cut off the stream title mouseover text after so few characters that it's basically useless? I would drop this for a condensed, easy-to-read, lightweight interface in a heartbeat if one were available, but sadly the better Twitch Live extension was deprecated with the loss of Manifest V2.

Does great most times but every now and then you'll wake up to find your PC has 50 windows asking for authorisation to read who you follow on Twitch. I'm guessing this happens when Twitch updates it's systems and the app has to adjust? Which is fine - but the volume of alerts is crazy. It would be good to restrict it to only one automatic prompt per day - still allow for prompts when actually clicked on for use, but once per day should be enough otherwise. My only criticism, everything else is fine. Updating for 12th June 2025: This happened again (above review was from 29th April). Also included a redirect to ht tee ps colon slash slash nlnfdlcbnpafokhpjfffmoobbejpedgj.chromiumapp dot org which is needless to say very suspicious... To reply to the question in the below developer comment: I am always logged into Twitch, I visit streams often, maybe a week apart at the longest.

Hello, the extension was working beautifully until very recently. Now nothing shows up in any of the tabs (favorites, explore, settings). I've tried removing the extension and re-adding it, but nothing I've tried seems to work. Is this a known ongoing issue or is this something just affecting me?

Uhh... Do we really need to put in our log in information?

One of the more likely replacements for Twitch Now. Needs more work on managing individual notifications like Twitch Now,

Looks good so far but would be nice to see how many streamers i followed are live before i click on the icon.
