Features & Capabilities

Unwanted Twitch is a powerful Chrome extension designed to enhance your Twitch.tv experience by allowing you to hide unwanted streams, games, categories, channels, and tags. This extension gives you control over your Twitch feed by filtering out content you don't want to see, such as stream reruns or specific stream titles.

Key features include the ability to blacklist categories, channels, and tags with support for pattern matching and regular expressions for dynamic filtering. You can disable filtering on the "Following" page, toggle visibility of filter controls, and share your blacklists via import/export. The extension also supports automatic blacklist syncing across devices with opt-in, Twitch's Dark Mode, and compatibility with other popular Twitch extensions like FrankerFaceZ (FFZ). While the extension cannot guarantee perfect operation due to Twitch frequently updating their site, users can report issues on GitHub and expect timely updates.

Supported Twitch pages include Browse Categories, Live Channels, Videos, Clips, Frontpage Discover, Explore sections, and more. Unwanted Twitch is an ideal tool for users seeking a customized, distraction-free Twitch viewing environment.

User Reviews

Users broadly praise Unwanted Twitch for effectively hiding unwanted content and for outperforming Twitch's own blocking, making Twitch feel more tolerable and clutter-free. It's seen as easy to use and a must-have by many. However, reliability varies: the addon can stop filtering, require saving edits to apply changes, and present UI/UX quirks. Performance slowdowns and incomplete tagging coverage, plus occasional compatibility issues with specific Firefox versions, are common complaints.

Pros

Effectively hides disliked streamers and content, reducing unwanted clutter.
Often outperforms Twitch's built-in blocking feature.
Easy to use with straightforward blacklist management.
Widely regarded as a must-have addon for a tolerable Twitch experience.
Blocks a broad range of content, including targeted tags like vtuber-related content.

Cons

Reliability issues: it stops filtering or stops working on some setups.
UI/UX can be confusing with hard-to-find settings and misclicks; undoing a mistake isn't always easy.
Can slow down the browser or cause performance issues during use.
Blocking is not always complete; some tags/content still appear or are not fully blocked.
Compatibility problems with certain Firefox versions or other browsers; not consistently functional across environments.

Is Unwanted 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.

Unwanted Twitch requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
