    Released Jun 12, 2026 - 539.84 KB
    Works with firefox 142.0 and later
    [9.9.1] - 2026-06-12
    • Improved backup stream startup speed when an ad break is detected.
    • Backup search now starts immediately during the brief clean-native bridge window instead of waiting for it to expire.
    • Faster handoff to clean backup playback once a verified backup stream is ready.
    • Reduced ad-break switch delay by about a second on typical breaks, with bigger improvements when source variants are ad-marked.
    • No extra network requests and no change to live-edge latency.

    Released Jun 11, 2026 - 539.49 KB
    Works with firefox 142.0 and later
    [9.9.0] - 2026-06-11
    • Fixed false ad-segment blocking for channels whose login contains ad-related words, such as “stitched,” while keeping real segment blocking unchanged.
    • Fixed extension reconnect behavior after disabling and re-enabling it with a Twitch tab already open, so popup toggles and counters no longer require a page reload.
    • Fixed direct clip-page visits so the extension initializes properly after leaving a clip page within Twitch’s single-page app navigation.
    • Improved token-fetch failure handling so exhausted playback-token requests are reported as network/token failures instead of unrelated backup or probe errors.
    • Firefox: improved worker bootstrap failure recovery when Twitch’s original worker source cannot be fetched.
    • Improved worker wrapper validation so unreadable constructor sources are rejected safely instead of throwing.
    • Fixed a latent CSAI fast-path counter issue to prevent possible duplicate blocked-ad counting.
    • Redesigned popup welcome and donation reminder toasts with improved styling, exit animations, reduced-motion support, and a persisted randomized reminder interval.
    • Cleaned up internal recovery and backup logic by removing unused fallback paths, stale player-type handling, dead bookkeeping, and write-only state keys.

  • Version 9.8.4

    Released Jun 11, 2026 - 531.19 KB
    Works with firefox 142.0 and later
    [9.8.4] - 2026-06-11
    • Improved Picture-in-Picture ad recovery so in-ad protections continue running during PiP playback instead of being paused by secondary-player handling.
    • Fixed recovery reloads changing auto quality into a pinned quality after player reloads.
    • Fixed rare preroll muting issues where the main player could be muted if no primary player was detected yet.
    • Improved buffer monitor reliability so one unexpected error can no longer disable stall, freeze, and mute protections for the rest of the session.
    • Reduced false dead-player rebuilds right after post-ad recovery reloads by giving the player time to decode its first frame.
    • Fixed extension update takeover behavior so updated content scripts can properly replace older versions in already-open Twitch tabs.
    • Fixed stale worker recovery events from a previous stream affecting the newly opened stream after navigation.
    • Improved internal ad-blocking worker validation and cleanup for more reliable recovery behavior.

  • Version 9.8.1

    Released Jun 11, 2026 - 530.54 KB
    Works with firefox 142.0 and later
    [9.8.1] - 2026-06-11
    • Improved Picture-in-Picture support so active PiP playback is treated like a visible tab for monitoring and recovery.
    • Fixed ad-break protections in hidden tabs so backup stall recovery, frozen-playhead recovery, and competing-media muting can still run while the tab is in the background.
    • Prevented automatic recovery reloads from closing PiP by downgrading them to pause/play while PiP is active, then allowing the reload after PiP exits when safe.
    • Improved hidden-tab worker recovery so a crashed worker with dead playback can recover in the background while healthy playback remains uninterrupted.

    Released Jun 11, 2026 - 529.12 KB
    Works with firefox 142.0 and later
    [9.8.0] - 2026-06-11
    • Fixed muted playback after switching streams during an ad break. Media elements muted for ad recovery are now restored properly when moving to another stream.
    • Reduced duplicate backup searches by sharing one in-flight backup search per stream, preventing duplicate token requests and backup-type switching issues.
    • Fixed VOD resume position after ad recovery reloads so stitched VOD ad breaks return to the saved playhead instead of jumping back or restarting.
    • Improved VOD ad-break recovery with the same pinned-backup stall detection, frozen-playhead recovery, and competing-media muting used for live streams.

    [v9.7.5] - 2026-06-11
    • Fixed purple-screen freezes during client-side midroll ad breaks.
    • Improved backup playback refresh so the clean backup stream keeps updating through the full ad break, even when Twitch ad markers linger.
    • Added faster recovery for stuck playheads when playback lands on a buffer gap during an active ad break.
    • Muted Twitch’s separate ad player element as soon as it appears to prevent unwanted ad audio overlap.

    • Improved playback stability during quick consecutive midroll ads.
    • Reduced unnecessary player reloads after ad recovery.
    • Fixed backup stream rotation when a stream stalls.
    • Improved backup quality selection during prerolls and long ad breaks.
    • Fixed repeated ad-completion signals in some ad pods.
    • Fixed false stall/crash detection when Twitch is open in a background tab.
    • Reduced extra network requests during ad bursts.
    • Added clearer recovery and backup-quality diagnostics.

    Works with firefox 142.0 and later
    [9.6.1] — 2026-06-09
    • Stronger ad-segment stripping. Known ad segment URLs are removed even during safer fallback scans that skip automatic full-playlist stripping.
    • More bounded recovery fetches. Token, backup and native-recovery probes now keep their timeout active through response-body reads, so hung Twitch responses cannot stall recovery indefinitely.

    • Retro synthwave theme. Tap either of the two color circles in the popup header to switch between the default Neon look and a new Retro theme a magenta/cyan palette on deep indigo with neon glows, a subtle grid, CRT scanlines and animated blocky controls. Your choice is remembered between sessions.
    • Smooth 60/120/144Hz animations. All Retro animations now use compositor-only properties (opacity/transform) with GPU acceleration, so they run at your display's native refresh rate without stutter. The title has a chromatic aberration glitch effect.

    Works with firefox 142.0 and later
    [9.4.4] — 2026-06-09
    • Pinned autoplay recovery now rotates during the LQ dwell window. When pinned-stall recovery cools down autoplay, the worker releases the autoplay-only hold instead of reusing the same starving fallback.
    • Degraded page-side fallback catches more Twitch ad markers. Worker-crash fallback now uses the broader parser ad-marker detection and can exit cue-out ad blocks cleanly.

    Works with firefox 142.0 and later
    [9.4.3] — 2026-06-08
    • Pinned autoplay fallback recovers from thin-buffer starvation. Backup stall detection now treats a moving buffer as healthy only when it also has safe headroom, so a clean autoplay fallback riding the live edge triggers a backup re-search instead of repeatedly stalling.

    Works with firefox 142.0 and later
    [9.4.2] — 2026-06-08
    • Native recovery probes are bounded. Stalled native usher or stream probes now time out instead of holding the worker's intercepted playlist response.
    • SPA navigation stays current after BFCache restores. Firefox pageshow now reinstalls the history hooks and resyncs page context for tracked workers.
    • Worker crashes recover automatically. Instant crashes now install the page-side M3U8 fallback and retry player recovery after any active reload cooldown instead of silently dropping the retry.
    • Worker injection guards cover native recovery. The build now fails if the injected worker bundle is missing a direct native-recovery helper.

    Works with firefox 142.0 and later
    [9.4.1] — 2026-06-08
    • Ad spoof accounting now respects Twitch's declared pod size. A playlist with extra stitched-ad DATERANGEs no longer sends or logs impossible totals such as 5/2 pod.
    • Pinned backup stall detection is less trigger-happy. Advancing playback with a safe buffer is treated as progress, so clean backup streams are not re-searched just because the buffer edge is flat.

    Works with firefox 142.0 and later
    [9.4.0] — 2026-06-08
    • Disabled low-quality fallback no longer leaks ads. Source-quality backups are tried first, then autoplay is used only as an emergency last resort when every source backup is ad-marked.
    • Ad-marked backup playlists are rejected. The worker no longer promotes contaminated fallback playlists, and empty stripped playlists use a hold segment instead of returning the original ad playlist.
    • Midroll autoplay holds no longer trap playback. If autoplay is enabled and wins, it is held only for the short LQ dwell window, then normal source recovery can resume.
    • Worker recovery is less eager to reload. Late heartbeats get a retry before a worker is treated as crashed, reducing avoidable player reloads during Twitch worker stalls.

    • Worker crash recovery is capped across replacement workers. Recovery attempts are tracked per stream context, so repeated worker recreation cannot reset the limit and loop player reloads indefinitely.
    • Missed worker heartbeats now use the full recovery path. A worker that never replies is quarantined, degraded M3U8 fallback is installed, and the player is reloaded only after a current-page context check.
    • Channel switches are safer during worker recovery. Tracked workers now receive updated page context, and crashed workers cannot process late recovery messages after being removed.

    Released Jun 7, 2026 - 372.47 KB
    Works with firefox 142.0 and later
    [9.3.7] - 2026-06-07

    Fixed
    • Low-quality fallback no longer stalls while high-quality backups are probed. After the clean autoplay fallback won during an ad, the next playlist polls could still spend several seconds checking source-tier backups before returning a fresh playlist. On a thin live buffer, that delay let the playhead catch the buffer end and Twitch logged Playhead stalling. The active ad-cycle now holds autoplay as the only backup candidate and refreshes it directly until the ad ends.
    • Low quality → high quality recovery avoids mid-ad source hitches. The extension now defers high-quality restoration to the existing ad-end recovery path instead of swapping from the low-quality fallback to a source-tier backup while the ad cycle is still active.

  • Version 9.3.6

    Works with firefox 142.0 and later
    [9.3.6] — 2026-06-07
    • No more occasional loading circle during ad breaks. The clean backup stream was served as a frozen playlist snapshot and replayed for up to 15s, so its buffer capped at ~4s and the playhead froze; the backup playlist is now re-fetched every ~2s so it keeps advancing like a live stream should.
    • A stalled backup switches to a working one within seconds. When the playhead-stall watcher fires, the stuck backup type is put on a short cooldown so the re-search rotates to the next type (e.g. site → embed) instead of re-selecting the broken one and giving up.
    • Playback recovery now runs during ads too. A new in-ad watchdog issues a pause/play nudge and then reloads the player if the playhead stays frozen on a drained buffer, even while an ad is active — previously that recovery only ran between ad breaks.
