Features & Capabilities

Hype Control is a free, open-source browser extension that adds friction between you and impulse Twitch purchases — gift subs, bits, and subscriptions. It doesn't block anything. It just makes sure the decision is actually a decision.

What it does:

Shows the real price with tax, because Twitch won't.
Translates purchases into work hours — "that's 2.5 hours of your life" hits different than "$50".
Puts spending in terms you feel — that gift sub is 16 Costco hot dogs.
Scales confirmation steps with price: small purchases get a nudge, big ones get cooldown timers, type-to-confirm, and a math challenge.
Daily, weekly, and monthly spending caps with progress bars.
Savings calendar that tracks every dollar you didn't spend.
Streaming mode auto-bypasses friction when you're live on your own channel.
Per-channel whitelist — skip, reduce, or keep full friction per streamer.

Is Hype Control 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.

Hype Control requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Hype Control is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
