## Description

Tired of installing & configuring bulky HTPC apps that barely work just to watch some Twitch or other streaming websites?

This extension just displays the native web browser view and allows you to navigate through links with Arrow keys & Enter. Minimal compatibility problems and you are already familiar with how to navigate & login.

## Usage ##

Upon startup of browser, it will automatically load the startup screen.

Navigate with the following keys:

 - Home: Go to startup screen
 - ArrowDown: Next link/button
 - ArrowUp: Prev link/button
 - ArrowRight: Next group of links/button
 - ArrowLeft: Prev group of links/button

Also native media keys such as Play/Pause should still work.

Current Supported Sites:

 - Twitch
 - Youtube
