## Description

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.

## Review summary

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.

- Generally positive user experience.
- Some users report it is amazing and works very well.

- Cannot hide 'Recommended Categories' UI.
- Can cause Google's redirect notices.
