Latest version keeps on crashing. You constantly have to reload it in the browser's extensions settings.

This should be fixed in the latest release (3.0.7). Give it a try and let me know if it's addressed.

I don't have any complaints thus far, I like the fact that it automatically tabs and calculates my watch time, it doesn't have a limit on how many liked streams I can have up at once either. The only thing I'm stumped on is does it have the ability to change the tab when a new stream starts? Unfortunately my streaks will get broken if the stream is not being shown on screen (meaning if it's hidden behind another tab) Is there a way that when a new stream starts the tab will take over the scre...

There is a preference called "Tabs open in background". You can disable that and then the new tab will be focused when it's opened. Hopefully that addresses what you're asking. If I've misunderstood what you meant, send me an email or create an issue at https://github.com/mikeyaworski/Twitch-Lurker/issues

ive been using this for about a year now, and its one of my new go to extensions i add everytime i download or use a new browser. please keep it up, this has been a game changer!

Really love this extension. I assume it's still being supported. Have two questions about it: 1) The sort by: highest or lowest. What exactly is this sorting by? viewer numbers, or the order you have your channels listed. ie highest is going from top to bottom. So top to bottom/bottom to top Or viewer numbers? I can't work it out 2) I guess part of 1) Does the order you have your list of channels on the list, actually matter? Cos I do favourite some people but even if favourites, I would ha... Show more

Thanks for the comment. Favorites are always on the top and those have a specific ordering (you can change the order if you want). After that, the other channels in the list (non favorites) are sorted by viewers (highest/lowest is for viewers). You can manage the order of your favorites by going to to "Favorites" section on the right side and then moving them around. E.g. if the top favorite on your list is live, they will always be at the top of the list, regardless of viewers.

Saves my streaks and lets me know when people go live even when twitch doesn't

In the last couple of months it stopped showing Kick channels that I already had added manually and that showed up before in the list

Michael Yaworski Developer Dec 28, 2025

Kick is a bonus feature that I added. Kick doesn't have an official API to add proper support. If it stops working for you, it's because Cloudflare is blocking the request from your system, perhaps because you're on a VPN, not logged in, or for some other reason. There is nothing I can do about it.

I use this just to get updates on when my favourite streamers go live (cause they rarely do), but it has a frustrating issue where, if I close the tab, it just reopens the tab on the same stream five minutes later Unsure if this is intended to be a feature or not, but some way to disable it would be great :)

Michael Yaworski Developer Dec 28, 2025

I'm working on an update to address this in the future.

This used to be a great tool for catching up on my favorite streamers, but lately it stopped working. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, turning it off and on again, but I can't find any solution to fix it. Very disappointed that it broke and there's no feedback about what's going on or how to get it working again. Won't be using this app again.

1. You haven't described what stopped working. I have no way of looking into this. 2. You are disappointed that there's no feedback, yet you haven't even reached out to ask for support? I also hate it when things randomly break, but the entitlement here is silly.

I follow a bunch of streamers. I watch a bunch of streamers. But like a lot of people I lose track of time and forget when a streamer is on and they could start a stream and be on for hours and I'll miss out. This thing works as an easy reminder by popping up the stream in a tab when it starts. It also pops up my favorites whenever that window closes as well. It's good for keeping up watch streaks or just being a diligent VIP or Mod of a stream. Been a game changer for me. Only addition I'... Show more

Thanks for the comment. I'll try to add considerations for raid streams in the future. As for the detection across multiple computers, that won't be possible.
