User Reviews

Users generally praise NowStreaming for delivering reliable Twitch live-notifications and for providing extra context like viewer count and stream title without needing a Twitch login. It’s appreciated for its simplicity and adaptability across API updates. However, feedback frequently cites missing audio alerts, inconsistent popup notifications (often blocked by the browser), and usability quirks (clunky UI, color indicators). There are also concerns about how follows are managed—manual re-adding and import/reset issues—and, in some versions, a required Twitch account. Overall, solid core functionality with notable UX and reliability gaps to address.

Pros

Reliable live-stream notifications for followed channels (core functionality).
Shows useful details like current viewer count and stream title.
Works without requiring a Twitch account (no login needed).
Stable through Twitch API updates and changes.
Simple, lightweight and easy to use.

Cons

No audio notification or sound alert.
Popup notifications are inconsistent and can be blocked by the browser.
UI/visuals feel clunky or not visually appealing.
Followed channels syncing/import issues; manual re-adding and import resets.
Some versions require a Twitch account, making it unusable for some users.

It technically does what it says it does notify you. The thing is it screws up all of the things we normally take for granted. There's no audio notification (oh what your not looking at the extension welp guess you'll miss it) and somehow they managed to make the zero streams live visual red and the stream(s) live visual gray. How did they even mess that up.

Is NowStreaming - Twitch 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.

NowStreaming - Twitch requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

High Request access to the following domains: twitch.tv, jtvnw.net

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.

NowStreaming - Twitch has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
