Review Twitch channel controls

Release snapshot

The publisher’s current README reports version 0.4.2 published in both stores on 3 October. Version 0.4.2 changes the name and description; functionality and data handling match 0.4.1. The source manifest requires Chromium 120 or newer.

Record the version you install. Release facts below come from the public sources linked at the end. The archived screenshots have individual provenance labels.

A practical review workflow

Try these checks

These are suggested checks and expected results. Fill in review-notes.csv with your own observations. No results have been prefilled.

1. Set up a visible test

   Install from an official store and refresh desktop Twitch. Record the version and page type. Pick one channel whose card is currently visible.

   Check: A moon/Snooze control appears on supported surfaces. Use a loaded visible card so the outcome can be observed.

2. Snooze and restore

   Choose 24 hours from that channel’s menu. Open Hidden Content → Streamers and restore the same channel.

   Check: The supported card disappears. Restore removes its timed and streamer-specific rules and adds an exception for any currently matched hidden category. Record the resulting visibility.

3. Test a category

   With the sidebar expanded, add the exact displayed category name under Hidden Content → Categories.

   Check: Loaded matching cards are hidden. Unknown-category cards may remain visible. Record the category and page type.

4. Test a whitelist override

   While that category rule exists, add one known matching channel to Whitelist. Remove it again after checking.

   Check: The whitelisted channel becomes visible if loaded. Removing it resumes the remaining rule; timed snoozes continue expiring while overridden.

5. Check direct access

   Open a channel affected by a rule using its direct URL. If already following it, compare the follow status before and after the test.

   Check: The channel page and playback remain available. Do not infer follow preservation from a signed-out page; mark that check untested if needed.

6. Check persistence and clean up

   Refresh Twitch and inspect the rule in Hidden Content. Remove test category rules and whitelist entries; restore any test snoozes.

   Check: Rules persist in this browser profile until removed or expired. Record expiry separately if you have actually waited for it.

Limits to include in coverage

• Hides supported cards and sidebar entries. It does not block direct channel pages, stop playback or change follows, subscriptions or chat.
• Category matching depends on text Twitch currently exposes. Unknown categories remain visible. Use the category name shown in your Twitch language.
• A collapsed sidebar lacks category text; category filtering there needs a matching loaded stream card on the same page or an expanded sidebar. Timed channel snoozes still work when collapsed.
• Rules are local to each browser profile and do not sync across devices. If the browser is closed at expiry, the snooze clears when the extension next starts.

If something does not work

Category did not hide: Expand the sidebar and use Twitch’s displayed category name. Unknown categories and unloaded cards cannot establish a match.

A channel remains hidden: Check both its timed rule and category rules. Restore can add a category exception; Whitelist overrides all matching rules.

Rules missing elsewhere: Rules belong to the current browser profile. A different device, browser or profile has its own storage.

Privacy and permissions

• The extension stores selected channel names, expiry times, category rules, exceptions and whitelist entries in local browser-profile storage.
• It reads Twitch card labels to match current channels/categories. The manager uses transient observations from open Twitch tabs; it does not fetch a catalogue of every streamer.
• No extension analytics, tracking server, remote code or external API calls. Twitch itself continues its normal network activity under its own policies.
• Restore removes an active snooze. Category rules and whitelist entries remain until removed. Uninstalling removes local extension storage.
