User reviews

Twitch Stream Notifier is popular for reliably notifying users about their favorite streamers going live and its simplicity in adding streamers manually. It works well for desktop notifications, even when Twitch is closed, and the developer provides timely updates. However, multiple users experience issues with the extension stopping working or sending repeated notifications. Also, the lack of syncing with Twitch follow list and limited customization options like notification sounds or list management are common requests among users.

Pros

Provides reliable notifications of favorite streamers going live.
Allows manually adding specific streamer usernames instead of syncing with Twitch follow list.
Simple and easy to use with minimal setup (just streamer usernames).
Gives desktop notifications even when Twitch is not open, useful for multitasking.
Developer is responsive and updates the extension regularly.

Cons

Extension sometimes stops working and requires reinstall to fix.
Sometimes it sends repeated notifications for the same streamers multiple times.
Lack of import/export for streamer lists and inability to sync with Twitch account/follow list.
No option to customize notification sounds or notification display preferences.
Interface could be improved with features like managing streamers, hiding extra info, or showing stream duration.

Extension safety

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.

Twitch Stream Notifier requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Medium Enables sending notifications which can be spammed but have minimal direct security impact.

Risk likelihood

This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. 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 Chrome extension.
