## Review summary

Users broadly report that Disable Twitch extensions successfully hides overlays, ads, and sponsor prompts on Twitch, improving viewing quality. It also auto-disables extensions by default, which many find convenient. Overall, it’s a well-liked extension. However, several reviews note glitches: in some cases it doesn’t fully remove overlays or can break the extensions, settings may not persist after reload, the UI for selecting individual extensions is clunky, and some filtering options don’t work as expected. Despite these issues, it remains a popular Twitch workaround.

### Pros

- Removes overlays/adverts/sponsor elements from Twitch streams, improving viewing experience.
- Automatically disables annoying extensions by default, boosting quality of life.
- Generally reliable and well-received, with positive user sentiment (e.g., 'Really great!', 'One of my favorite extensions').

### Cons

- Does not always fully remove overlays; overlay controls can still appear or the extension can appear broken.
- Settings/changes may not persist after page reloads.
- UI to select individual extensions is clunky (no smooth scrolling/selectors; hard to pick).
- Some filtering options do not work as expected (e.g., 'All except allowed' / 'None except forbidden').
