Recent Update: There may be some bugs in the most recent update (v3.0.0) because there was a big overhaul to migrate to manifest v3. A lot of functionality changed with browser extensions, so be patient while bugs get fixed.

Support your favorite Twitch streamers by automatically lurking in their stream when they go live.

Twitch Lurker allows you to build a list of favorites based on who you follow and open up muted tabs of their stream as soon as they go live.

IMPORTANT: You must have tabs already open with the Twitch player running in order for you to count as a viewer in their viewer count. If the extension loads a new tab with a stream, it won't count you as a viewer until you open the tab and load the player yourself.

How to use the extension:

Download/Install from the store or sideload it in your browser
Login with OAuth so we can pull your follow list (don't worry, we don't collect any of your info)
Click the stars next to channels in your following list to mark them as Favorites
Order your Favorites list to your liking (the higher in the list, the higher their priority over other Favorites)

User reviews

Thank you for making this extensions. I'm just wondering if anyone else who's using, have similar issues with mine. I've been using this for quite some time with diff browser. At some point all of them, after awhile will open the tab tho the media/stream is not playing. I'm still considered lurking in stream tho, just curious.
