Features & Capabilities

YouTube's "live" isn't really live: the player deliberately holds you several seconds behind — and part of that video is already downloaded on your computer. In any live stream (the goal, the drop, the announcement) it's the difference between reacting together and finding out from the chat.

TrueLive keeps you pinned to the newest point available:

Super Live: the lowest delay the stream and your internet allow, with 4 automatic protection layers — a safety floor measured from your own connection, preemptive reaction to bitrate spikes, an instant rescue instead of freezing (playback speed never drops below 1.0x), and automatic suspension if your connection can't keep up.
Auto: balance without thinking. It reads your connection and adjusts by itself.
Real delay badge in the player (optional): see in seconds how far behind live you are — actually measured, not estimated.

How much you gain depends on the stream (the channel picks the latency class): on low-latency streams we measured ~3-4s from broadcast to screen, broadcast-TV territory, versus ~7s on the default player. On normal-latency channels the physical floor is higher (~10s+) and no extension can break it — TrueLive guarantees you the minimum from there. Measured, verified numbers, with public methodology in the repository.

No sign-up, no data collection, no external requests — everything runs locally in your browser. Open source (GPL-3.0).

Shortcuts: Alt+Shift+Y toggles it - Alt+Shift+L jumps to live.

Is TrueLive 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.

TrueLive requires a few sensitive permissions. 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.

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