Twitch Alternate Player
Ad-free, fully custom Twitch playerwith multi-stream IRCchat
What it does
Twitch Alternate Player is a browser extension for Chrome and Edge that completely replaces Twitch's native player with a custom, ad-filtered experience — all processed locally with no servers or proxies.

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
