Features & Capabilities

Streamlink Helper is a handy Chrome extension designed to streamline your livestream viewing experience. It adds an option to your browser's context menu that allows you to launch Streamlink with any URL or the current page, making it simple to watch streams—such as those from Twitch—using your favorite media player without manually inputting commands.

The extension supports a convenient shortcut (Ctrl+Alt+S) to quickly launch the hovered link in Streamlink. Users must follow the detailed setup instructions on the GitHub repository to ensure proper functionality, as the addon relies on correct configuration of Streamlink and local system settings. This tool is perfect for users who prefer custom media players and want a hassle-free way to open stream URLs directly from their browser.

Is Streamlink Helper 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.

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