The Twitch Embed Blocker Chrome extension is designed to block embedded Twitch streams on websites other than Twitch.tv itself. It prevents auto-playing streams from loading in the background, which can consume bandwidth and reduce performance, especially when gaming with additional tabs open.

By stopping embedded Twitch streams from running unnecessarily, this extension helps you avoid fake viewer counts on streams and saves your system resources like FPS and bandwidth. It's ideal for users who frequently browse wiki pages or sites containing embedded Twitch content but don’t want streams to auto-play. This lightweight and simple addon enhances browsing experience by giving you control over Twitch stream playback outside of Twitch.tv.

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