BetterTTV (also known as BTTV or Better Twitch TV) is a powerful Chrome extension that enhances your Twitch and YouTube experience by adding a suite of new features and customizations. It offers extra emotes — both global and per-channel — improving the chat with an enhanced emote menu and options like custom keywords for phrases, users, and chat badges.

Additional functionalities include split chat lines for easy reading, viewing deleted links and messages, and an "Anon Chat" mode to join channels discreetly. Automatically claiming channel points bonuses, drops, and moments saves you time, while options to hide visual clutter such as recommended channels, bits, replies, and notices create a cleaner interface. Easy to install and configure, BetterTTV brings a richer, more interactive streaming chat experience to Twitch and YouTube users.

User reviews

BetterTTV offers useful emote features and an emote menu, enhancing Twitch chat experience. However, multiple users report that the extension frequently stops working after Firefox updates or restarts, and settings reset to default. There are also compatibility issues with other extensions like Ghostery. Users face difficulties using emotes via the menu and desire more customization options. Overall, while the add-on is appreciated, stability and compatibility problems severely impact usability.

Pretty good but settings get reset to default on browser restart... Also, there's no way to disable specific emotes?
