Version 9.9.9
Released Jun 19, 2026 - 560.86 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and later[9.9.9] - 2026-06-20
Changed
- Low Quality Fallback now defaults to enabled. Previously, users had to turn it on manually. It now ships enabled so everyone gets faster ad recovery out of the box: the extension starts on a quick 360p stream during ads, then automatically climbs back to native quality afterward. You can still disable it in the popup if you prefer native quality only.Source code released under MIT License

Released Jun 11, 2026 - 539.49 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and later[9.9.0] - 2026-06-11- Fixed false ad-segment blocking for channels whose login contains ad-related words, such as “stitched,” while keeping real segment blocking unchanged.

Released Jun 11, 2026 - 531.19 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and later[9.8.4] - 2026-06-11- Improved Picture-in-Picture ad recovery so in-ad protections continue running during PiP playback instead of being paused by secondary-player handling.

- Fixed extension update takeover behavior so updated content scripts can properly replace older versions in already-open Twitch tabs.

Version 9.8.1
Released Jun 11, 2026 - 530.54 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and later[9.8.1] - 2026-06-11- Improved Picture-in-Picture support so active PiP playback is treated like a visible tab for monitoring and recovery.
- Fixed ad-break protections in hidden tabs so backup stall recovery, frozen-playhead recovery, and competing-media muting can still run while the tab is in the background.
- Prevented automatic recovery reloads from closing PiP by downgrading them to pause/play while PiP is active, then allowing the reload after PiP exits when safe.
- Improved hidden-tab worker recovery so a crashed worker with dead playback can recover in the background while healthy playback remains uninterrupted.

- Muted Twitch’s separate ad player element as soon as it appears to prevent unwanted ad audio overlap.
