Twitch Live Extension

A browser extension that will help you find out when your followed streamers are live on Twitch and will send notifications when they go live.

Disclaimer

Firefox version is behind Chrome one and it will continue for a few more months until Firefox fully supports Manifest Version 3. Currently, it doesn't support service_workers that I use for authentication, went live notifications and the number on the badge icon. As soon as this feature is implemented, I'll release the recent version to Firefox too.

How to use

To start using it, open it, log in with your Twitch account, so that the extension can have access to 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 of the Twitch account you are using on the extension.

The extension is available for Chrome/Microsoft Edge and Firefox.
