Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

Recent Update: There may be some bugs in the most recent update (v3.0.0) because there was a big overhaul to migrate to manifest v3. A lot of functionality changed with browser extensions, so be patient while bugs get fixed.

Support your favorite Twitch streamers by automatically lurking in their stream when they go live.

Twitch Lurker allows you to build a list of favorites based on who you follow and open up muted tabs of their stream as soon as they go live.

IMPORTANT: You must have tabs already open with the Twitch player running in order for you to count as a viewer in their viewer count. If the extension loads a new tab with a stream, it won't count you as a viewer until you open the tab and load the player yourself.

update: not sure if this is possible but I've been watching a streamer who hasn't stopped streaming for a while and everytime the stream restarts it doesn't refresh on its own, this could in be something in my settings somewhere I've yet to figure out though, but now sure if there's a way you could add somethings to it refreshes the stream on a restart also. I really like this extension, my only real issue is that if I open another instance of twitch to watch a vod or clips, over the max number set, the extension will reload to one of the live streams on my favorites list. Update to this, if I go into mod view it reloads it back to the regular channel, and if I open a seperate tab for mod view it will load another channel from my favorites list after the set amount of time.

Wonderful, go-to app. I have noticed a few things. This is based on a Chromium-based browser. A: Sometimes when unmuting a tab (in this recent update) another stream will open up, even if you already have the max streams open based on your settings., Sometimes 1-2 more additional will open, beyond your max streams settings. Second, are Kick streams supposed to open up, or is it just more for reference?, Twitch stream (loaded in order after a specific Kick streamer who is online and streaming) will open and not the Kick stream. Thirdly, I'd like to request a feature to save your Favorites so if having to reinstall or move to another browser, we don't have to manually tick and re-order all of the favorites? I appreciate all of your hard work. Wonderful apo., again., to you., Thank You., kindly., very much.

Normally a phenomenal app, however... I have to question the choice to add... kick? The name of the app is Twitch lurker, I don't support nor condone Kick, and had I had known this was going to be added; I would have spoken up sooner... its a notorious platform with sexual abuse, drugs and gambling. I'm sure its just a volley for some nerd to be like "WELL TECHNICALLY" cause of the YouTube support; but the platforms work together. Aside from the that... the recent permissions has broken or made things not work as they normally would. e.g. sometimes I have to open things manually even after granting permission. Polling is set to 3m; and I've been using this for as long as I can remember. I'll update the review once the app functions as proper, but I strongly recommend making kick its own application, please don't just jumble other services into an application that was intended for a certain audience. (if you aren't familiar with the politics of Twitch, you' should understand that the two platforms do NOT get along together). Normally on Twitch I have given this platform raving reviews and have had MANY users reflect their love for this app, but if kick remains to be supported I will have to pull my support; in addition to removing it from my browser.

This is an excellent extension for twitch allowing you to set the priority of streamers is an excellent touch. I noticed that if a higher priority streamer goes live and I have the amount of tabs I allow maxed out it will replace the lowest priority streamer with the higher one which is a great touch. Honestly the only thing I wish this had was the ability to set streamer specific settings that will take priority if I prefer. For instance some streamers I prefer muted when they're brought up and others I don't. Not a huge deal, but would be great.

If the streamer sets a local nickname (for example, a Korean nickname) in addition to the ID, the nickname is entered in the address bar and cannot be moved to that channel. Could you please improve it for non-English speaking countries? It's such an attractive extension! Thank you.

Does what it says which is great, but if I, for example, have 3 tabs open & close 1 because I'm just not feeling that stream, the extension will reopen the tab after a few minutes. It then becomes a fight to keep the tab closed.

Last edit: I still think this extension is worth 5 stars. However it's a shame that Twitch is auto-muting new tabs automatically, effectively pausing any second automatically opened stream tab since any muted twitch tabs in the background will auto-pause... I wish the extension could disable this auto-mute so that the stream would not pause. Thanks! Ok, I think I finally got the hang of it. I wanted to give it a 4.5 just to encourage further improvement . It is working both on Chrome and Edge browser but it can be a little buggy. But It appears to be getting better as I try it. The only part that I don't know whether is working or not is the "open tab in background" function. It does open tabs in the background but they stay completely blank and appear not to load so I presume that it doesn't result in a lurk (not sure though). If you don't select that option however, it automatically opens your favorited streamer's tabs automatically. Other than that, sometimes the tabs don't open well, but I'm not sure this is down to the extension or the browser itself. I like this extension very much. 4.5 out of 5. edit: Thank you very much for your answer Michael! The only suggestion I would have at this point would be the increase the "max streams at once" from 5 to a greater value, like 10, for instance. I think the extension deserves a 5 rating. :) Thank you very much. Edit 2: Regarding the concurrent streams. I understand. Just trying to help out my favorite streamers. Thanks once again! Great job! :)
