## Description

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.
