Twitch also serves different canary builds (previews of potential future versions) to selected/random users for up to 4 weeks, which most likely break parts of the extension. If you notice pages no longer working properly, disable the extension, report the issue¹ and wait for an update. Note that updates may take a few days to be approved on the corresponding browser stores. Keep an eye on the GitHub commits² or follow me on Twitter³ to receive news regarding new versions.

  • (2023-11-03) Ome Galul: Doesn't do anything. Add a blacklist and click save and nothing happens. Blacklist is not even updated.
  • (2023-10-26) catalin: Best of the best hide's toxic streamers that are personal or witch you had an conflict of interest with just remove kebab and your life will be better
  • (2023-10-24) Zushi wasab1: not working cannot save list
  • (2023-10-04) User: Please let me know what I'm doing wrong. Adding a channel to blacklist does not seem to do anything. Thanks.
  • (2023-09-30) Kaori Sugahara: This is the solution for Twitch intentionally pushing low-quality content.
  • (2023-09-26) Nicolas Mortel: needed something to hide all vtubers. thanks
  • (2023-09-19) Jonny Eriksson: Works fine, the only problem that I have noticed is that it removes the scroll list when you browse games. Maybe fixable?
  • (2023-09-07) Aaron M.: Twitch is full of clutter nowadays and this extension helps clean it up by hiding streamers I dont wanna see.
  • (2023-09-03) Lesphirou: Hum, it's funny, when I try to block any woke garbage tag and try to save in the list, it never saves. Any other tag is fine tho? Why is that? Garbage extension.
  • (2023-08-24) top Sa: 빅스트리머 차단하고나선 하꼬방 탐방할 수 있어서 좋아요
  • (2023-08-23) KroLya: Wonderful extension. Tag Russian goodbye.
  • (2023-08-15) V: Finally, all the unwanted tags gone.
  • (2023-08-11) Owen Ganson: Insultingly garbage. Doesn't ever actually save the blacklists.
  • (2023-08-02) Pri Vat: Any recent changes done inside "Manage blacklist" gets reverted when pressing "save" for me both on edge and chrome (window closes when clicking on it and if i go back they're gone.). Tried exporting and editing the .json file, but after importing it you face the same issue upon trying to save the changes. Hiding unwanted channels by pressing on the x-buttons above the preview image as well as hiding unwanted categories and tags work fine though, but doing it through "manage blacklist" would be neat as one would be able to add blocked keywords in stream titles along with adding tags faster.
  • (2023-07-14) Віталій: Thank you so much for the amazing extension. I would like to request something if it possible to do, so twitch added the "recommended channels" and also "{streamer_name} viewers also watch" and from time to time blocked channels got there, it would be awesome that blocked streamers or recommendations not shown here, much love
  • (2023-07-10) Thiago souza alves: FILTRA MUITO BEM, REMOVE TODAS AS PRAGAS QUE VOCE N GOSTA.
  • (2023-06-26) Spaghetti Man: EDIT: Works great. Below is a problem I was experience but Alexander Kwaschny helped me out and turns out I simply didn't fully understand how to navigate the interface. Old Review: Unable to open the settings to remove items from "hidden". Twitch will "Recommend" channels you are already following. I removed the channels I was already following from the "Recommended" to remove the redundancy, and now those channels I have hidden from "Recommended" are now no longer visible in my follow list when they go live. Channels I am following should not be removed from my follower list, even though I did click "hide" on the recommended screen. I can click "Details" and "Remove" (removes the extension) under settings, and Details does not help me in anyway. At one point in time, I was able to go into another settings screen and see what I have hidden, and remove them from the hide list if I wanted, but that screen is no longer accessible it seems. Otherwise I like it, does a great job at hiding vtubers and the like.
  • (2023-06-21) Hayato Jin: I wish i had found this sooner, being able to block a lot of annoying streamers and games from showing up has made Twitch so much better, to the creator of this addon, i wish only good things for you!
  • (2023-06-20) de_oScar: Does what it says (aside from impossible things like filtering out streams in the left column by tags – twitch doesn't show it there, so it's literally inaccessible to the extension). The author cares about updates, even tho twitch sometimes breaks stuff with their own work, we just get to wait a couple days and it's back up.
  • (2023-06-13) Robbert Trommelen: It won't let me save I typed "name" in blocked, clicked save and it takes me back to the extension menu every time without saving.
  • (2023-06-12) Flying Whilst Falling: For a few months due to the update, it wasn't working but as of now, I am able to filter and remove all of the unwanted channels and such. Truly grateful for the best decluttering tool. (Plus it was painful scrolling through hundreds of channels of which I previously removed.)
  • (2023-06-12) Артём: EXCELLENT !
  • (2023-06-09) F I N N I X: Currently doesn't function as intended, before the changes to twitch it was pretty good though. Not sure if they plan on fixing it.
  • (2023-05-29) Maroš Štofaník: Sir do you have a ETA on new twitch UI cucking the extension ? making it not work. keep up gods work :)
  • (2023-05-29) CeliTT “CeliTT”: fix "X" buttons
  • (2023-05-26) Łukasz: tags not working, "x" button not working too
  • (2023-05-23) Nunya Bidness: Until it gets adapted to Twitch's new update then it's not great. It's still good for people who had plenty of filters beforehand, but for new users it's literally useless.
  • (2023-05-22) NIkolai “Zeks” Marchenko: Unfortunately it stopped working after the latest twitch update. X button no longer appears
  • (2023-05-11) The Big Moon: Thank you so mush for this extension. I blocked all russian streams with this
  • (2023-04-12) Ready End: 7명? 차단하니깐 한국 트위치 최상단이 깨끗해졌어요!
  • (2023-04-10) IlIlIlIlIl IlIlIlIlIl: I wish the tab wouldn't close when I save the settings.
  • (2023-03-23) Petertronic: Doesn't do the most basic thing you would want it to do, which is to stop unwanted streams playing that are in your blacklist. Waste of time.
  • (2023-03-19) Eclipse isduty: 보기 싫은 버튜버들 차단하니 좋네요 자체 차단이 유용함
  • (2023-02-27) Svedka Catkin: Doesn't work for me, it won't save, when I reload the blacklist it's empty even if I hit save button, so nothing is in fact blocked. I don't hate the idea, so I will give two stars, as it's not working I can't give it more.
  • (2023-02-24) Scott Trice: Finally a way to hide hot tub streamers.
  • (2023-02-23) Yolo: Great Addon. Thank you!
  • (2023-02-20) Andrew Miller: I wish this was basic twitch functionality. I have wanted to block certain streamers from showing up in my feed for so long and finally had the bright idea to check if there was an extension for that. So darn annoying seeing bikini streamers in my recommended channels half the time. So long amouranth, so long latex bikini squats in 5 minutes girl, good riddance.

  • (2023-08-03, v:23.6.10) Fernando Viñan-Cano: No longer saves changes
    Discovered today changes are no longer saved, tried the suggested export/import, no difference, removed/readded extension and import, still the same. Have lost all the settings now apart from the export that no longer imports.
  • (2023-06-20, v:23.6.10) de_oScar: PSA to other users
    If your list seems to not save any more entries, try exporting and importing it back, worked for me.
  • (2023-05-25, v:23.5.3) M B: Titles and bot streams
    Will there be an update for hiding titles not working anymore or do I need to redo all my current blacklisted titles and add a "~" in front? I also have another question: Lately there have been hundreds of identical automatic bot streams without titles called "Untitled Broadcast". I tried hiding the title "~Untitled Broadcast" but it didn't work and I also tried hiding just "~" but that hid all streams on Twitch. Is there a way to hide all at once or do I have to hide them one by one? Thanks for all your work and for your great extension!
  • (2023-05-24, v:23.5.3) Christos B: Blacklisted categories also count as blacklisted tags
    I noticed this because I had a category named "reaction" as blacklisted and I couldn't see a streamer on another category that used "reaction" as a tag (it was the top channel). Do you think this is a possibility?
  • (2023-05-22, v:23.5.3) Chocox Pix: Twitch update

  • (2023-05-19, v:23.5.3) KING WARZOOL: Small X gone
    Hello There is a problem with The extension The small X that appears on top of each streamers videos in the front page is now gone and I cannot remove any unwanted streams from the front page anymore and all the streams that have been previously removed are now back. However the small X still appears when I open the browse or follow page this problem happened recently after the new update.
  • (2023-05-18, v:23.5.3) みゅー: what?
    I don't see an X on the Twitch home page. It will be displayed when you search for content, but even if you block it by clicking the x here, it will be displayed on the top page. What should I do?
  • (2023-05-10, v:23.5.3) de_oScar: whitelist
    I love your plugin, but sometimes I wish there was an option to whitelist some content, mainly channels. Recently added support for regular expressions kind of facilitates that (at the expense of required know-how), but some things are still impossible. For example, I may like a particular streamer enough to still watch them do something I usually wouldn't care for, or maybe a specific gaming community is toxic, but there still are a couple cool outsiders. Idk how realistic would that be to add and seriously no pressure, maybe that's just a me problem lol One minor actual issue I have is that some filters (tag and maybe title) only work on the directory/following page. I understand why that's the case and that it would be unreasonable to implement that functionality on the list of channels at the left column, I just think it could be mentioned somewhere in the plugin description to not have people misled or disappointed (I think the plugin offers enough to defend itself even with this issue exposed).
  • (2023-05-08, v:23.5.3) Sam: Title blacklist
    The title blacklist is no longer working for me. The channel blacklist still works fine and the tags blacklist is also fine
  • (2023-02-23, v:22.11.3) Noctuna: Limit on Blacklist size
    How high can we go before an limit comes in from a browser? Im in on like 3k Channels atm, but wondering how much i can push it, since i dont like relying on tags to much, they are often to unreliable. (Like for streamers with dual language).
  • (2022-06-24, v:22.6.15) LilBippy: thank you!

  • (2022-06-22, v:22.6.15) PuntaCanada: New Design on twitch - pls update your extension!
    Twitch changed the design of the page where you can see the channels and now all the channels I blocked with your extension are again viewable. Pls update your extension. Thx in advance. :)
  • (2022-06-15, v:22.5.10) elyga1981: Broken Extension!!!
    Yesterday the program stopped working. I use the local storage mode. Till yesterday all was fine, but now extension don't work anymore. I block channels in Blacklisted Channels category, but now all are here in Live Channels. problem started just yesterday. sad. BTW now if i hit "X" extension adds not channel name to Blacklisted Channels, but adds full title of stream to blacklisted channels section. so i think twitch has changed something and you need to update the code.
  • (2022-06-01, v:22.5.10) I'm Ray: Doesn't work
    Just doesn't work. Doesn't block anything I add to lists.
  • (2022-04-10, v:21.10.30) Nathan Bishop: Blacklisted Titles not saving
    Blacklisted Titles not saving, you add keywords, then save, it warns you about needing to reloading the twitch tab, you click okay, it closes the manager tab, you go back in and there's nothing saved to the blacklisted titles. Blacklisted Channels is working though
  • (2022-01-16, v:21.10.30) Octo Aori: This has basically ceased working in any fashion.
    The little "X" doesn't even show up to give me the option to block stuff anymore. What the heck-
  • (2021-10-26, v:21.7.27) Slice of Life: Stopped working.
    Can't confirm at the moment if it's just blocked games, but they're showing up on my "Browse" tab. I don't block any tags or titles, and I haven't noticed any channels that I block being unblocked. But like I said, can't really confirm anything besides games/categories.
  • (2021-08-02, v:21.7.27) Aglaia van der Kroon: Multiple catagory streams
    Hi, I watch a lot of vods because I follow a bunch of streamers on the other side of the planet, sadly I've noticed that in my latest video list when a streamer had played multiple games during their stream, the filters won't work unless the first game they played is one on my block list. Most of the time it's the 'Just chatting' category and then a different one after. As an example: I've blocked the game 'Dead by Daylight' but it still shows up in my latest videos because the streamer started his stream with 'Just chatting'. When I also block 'just chatting' that vod disappears, but vods that I DO want to watch also disappear. I don't know much about programming but is it possible to make your script read more than just the first category of a vod? I understand it must be hard to implement because there are also streamers who do marathons of several different games and have vods with 10 categories and you don't want to hide the video if you can just skip over one part of the vod. A suggestion (if it's not impossible to code) maybe if a vod has multiple categories you make your script calculate how many percent of the video is a category you have on your block list and if it exceeds like 70% maybe the vod gets hidden? Anyways, regardless if you can program this or not, your add-on is amazing ;)
  • (2021-07-27, v:21.6.6) Dustin Baker: Blacklisted language tags?
    I tried using the blacklisting tag option so I could blacklist languages I don't speak because I'm tired of seeing Portuguese/German/etc. streams fill up categories when I watch streams early in the morning. Every other blacklist option works, but for some reason tags doesn't?
  • (2021-07-27, v:21.6.6) Darrin Funk: Stopped working
    Still shows the stream in my blacklist. I tried saving the blacklist and reloading but the unwanted streams are still there.

    Hello, possible to support opera bowser please? actually it doesn't support him...
  • (2021-06-14, v:21.6.6) Onii-chan's Neko: Suggestion
    Hi :) I've been a long time user of your chrome extension (i love it by the way). I did have one thought/suggestion that you could take or throw away, etc It would be super cool if the chrome extension could hide streams/etc from streamers with under X followers. (A lot of the time, in my opinion at least, streams with under 50-100 followers are pretty bad/bland or the streamer isn't even in the chat, it would be cool if we could hide all streams with under (or over?) X followers?
  • (2021-06-07, v:21.5.22) Snowcone Guy: Doesn't work anymore
    I have some of the most disgusting tags blacklisted with this extension, but streams labeled with those tags still show up in my search results. The only change is that in the search results (where the overview of the streams are shown) those labels are no longer displayed under the preview image. But then when I open those streams, I can see that they are labeled with the tags that I have blacklisted. So the main function of filtering out trash doesn't work anymore.
  • (2021-05-22, v:21.5.21) Christos B: Functionality
    It's broken for me right now (it broke yesterday).I have the latest version 21.5.21
  • (2021-05-19, v:21.3.21) MrGhostMark: Not Hiding
    Oh no, it broke recently. At least when viewing the videos tab on a game's page. It still works fine for the live channels.
  • (2021-05-18, v:21.3.21) Brendon Taylor: Blacklisted game still shows on "Following" page
    "Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege" is on my blacklist and doesn't show any of my followed streamers playing it when looking at the FOLLOWED CHANNELS bar on the left, but when I go to twitch.tv/directory/following/live I can see at least one streamer playing it. I've deleted/re-added it to my blacklist, tried adding it manually, refreshed multiple times, and ensured "Also filter on the "Following" page" is checked, but this might be a bug because the ONLY place I can see this game is on the "Following" page.
  • (2021-02-03, v:20.11.2) M B: Channel names
    Thanks for an amazing extension! Would it be possible to add a blacklist category that lets you blacklist channel user names? Just like the blacklisted titles category but with names instead? The reason is when I scroll through the music category looking for artists and bands there are hundreds of DJ's which I'm not interested in. If I could blacklist the letters "DJ" in a channel user name it would save me a lot of time. Now I have to blacklist them separately using the X. Thanks!
  • (2021-01-12, v:20.11.2) Luiz Fernando Mendonca: Error
    It started to behaving wrong today. On the main page works fine, but when you open a channel/game to choose a streamer, you cant click on it, it still has the small "X" on the corner, but it also got a big round overlay that goes purple when you mouse over. Clicking anywhere on the circle (that covers 95% of the square) does the "X" function. So to open a channel, i have to click on the corners, avoiding the circle.
  • (2020-10-02, v:20.6.19) René Jiménez: Suddenly stopped working
    all the Categories, channels, tags and titles on my blacklist are once again appearing. The "x" marker has also disappeared

    I click on the manage blacklist button, add categories, hit save. It gives me the prompt to reload, I reload - nothing is blocked. If I click manage blacklist again, there are no entries.
  • (2020-06-09, v:20.3.11) Gareth Hubball: Doesn't block the correct channels

  • (2020-05-02, v:20.3.11) Jim Jones: Great extension. One suggestion.
    A feature to hide streams by viewer count. Some of the best hidden content on twitch has less than 50 viewers and that's hard to find in big categories.
  • (2020-04-06, v:20.3.11) About Blank: A Good Extension Feature
    Hi, I just wanted to suggest to add a simple button, like "Undo last removed channel". So, with this button I will be able to revert removing the last channel that I accidentally deleted. Thank you!
  • (2020-03-10, v:20.2.5) 지나가던리어카박씨: infinite refresh korean channels
    used x button on thumbnail > infinite refresh so i've tried to manually type channel name by KR and EN both at manage page but it isn't working too. when used x button, blacklisted channel name does not display at manage page. i can see just blank line
  • (2020-03-10, v:20.2.5) matt: still work?
    When I am clicking on the X button on a single stream it is added a 'blank' name on the blacklist when is then hiding every stream. If I copy paste the stream name on to the black list, save then refresh the Twitch page, it does not hide it.
  • (2020-02-14, v:20.2.5) Galen Marek: Any Chat Functions?
    Hi, I've been looking for a client-side extension that would allow me to hide/block users whose message will be filtered out based on a set criteria. (Ex. Hiding messages that contain specific terms or emotes.) It seems like this extension focuses more on managing the channels you see, but is this a potential feature you'd consider? Cheers mate.
  • (2020-01-25, v:20.1.20) Miya Zaki: Does it work while in-stream window?
    This extension is great as it finally allows me to hide live channels that I followed but currently don't watch without unfollowing them. However the problem I have is that that extension works on something like the home page/following page but if I open a stream in that window of the stream it shows the blocked channels again. So I am wondering is this fixable on my end? Is it a bug? Or even intended like this? I am using Chrome.
  • (2020-01-20, v:19.10.14) Steffen Brumm: in addition to my last comment
    filtering of 'recommended Channels' works on the mainpage (so: www.twitch.tv) but NOT on (www.twitch.tv/<channelname>') with activated setting "Also filter Followed Channels". (hope that helps a bit) ;)
  • (2020-01-14, v:19.10.14) M B: Tags
    Thank you so much for this great extension! Saves me a lot of time. I've been using it for a long time but the list of blocked tags has stopped working. It doesn't help adding them manually to the list and since Twitch's update there is no longer an X to click on to block tags. Is there a way to fix this?
  • (2020-01-13, v:19.10.14) Steffen Brumm: Plugin doesnt work wih 'Recommended Channels'
    Hi, Is it possible to remove channels from 'Recommended channels'? The plugin seems not to work there. Maybe it is because the channel uses upper and lower case letters. I use the latest released Chromeversion.

  • (2019-03-18, v:19.2.23) Rondorix: Game/Category Not Properly Filtered
    Late as this is, apologies on that.. Also, wasn't sure how to reply to the reply I got, so just did this, instead. Not sure how to add something to the blacklist "via button", unless you mean the "Manage Blacklist" button on the category page, which only just opens the blacklist for me, and doesn't actually add the game in. So, yeah I have to do it manually. Not sure what URL you're asking for though.Guessing you mean the URL of the game category itself, or? Either way, what ends up in the blacklist is, copypasted directly from it, "pokemon: let's go, pikachu!/eevee!". And the category URL is.. https://www.twitch.tv/directory/game/Pokemon%3A%20Let's%20Go%2C%20Pikachu!%2FEevee!?tl=1 Incase that's what you need.
  • (2019-03-05, v:19.2.23) Rondorix: Game/Category Not Properly Filtered
    I've noticed that trying to filter "Pokemon: Let's Go, Pikachu!/Eevee!" with the extension doesn't seem to work, as despite that being the actual category name streams of that game/category aren't hidden/removed from view.
