BetterTTV Firefox

BetterTTV

Enhances Twitch and YouTube with new features, emotes, and more.

Features & Capabilities

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

User feedback shows a split: many praise BetterTTV for its feature-rich experience, but several users report it stopped working, especially on Twitch, since the start of the year, with lost features in chat and channel points. Other issues include UI problems with hiding Recommended Categories and occasional redirect notices. The most mentioned points are Twitch compatibility failures and a year-start regression, though some users still report a smooth experience when it runs correctly.
Pros
  • Has a lot of features.
  • Generally positive user experience.
  • Some users report it is amazing and works very well.
Cons
  • Doesn't work on Twitch / Twitch-related features.
  • Stopped functioning since the start of the year; several features no longer work (e.g., emotes in chat, auto-accept channel points).
  • Cannot hide 'Recommended Categories' UI.
  • Can cause Google's redirect notices.

Is BetterTTV Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

BetterTTV requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
