Restyle for Twitch is a free Chrome and Firefox extension that quiets the busy parts of twitch.tv and gives the content more room. Nothing is added, and nothing works differently.
It is a stylesheet laid over twitch.tv. Turn it off in one click and Twitch is back as it was.
Click the extension's icon. Changes apply at once, without reloading the page.
| Enable on Twitch | Turns the whole restyle on or off. |
|---|---|
| Spacing | Three densities: compact, airy, very airy. |
| Corners | How rounded cards, panels, fields and buttons are: square, soft or round. |
| Floating panels | Takes the top bar, the sidebar and the chat off the window's edges, as rounded panels. |
| Themes | Eight ready-made pairs of background and accent colours, dark and light. |
| Accent colour | The colour of links, tags and highlights. |
| Plain chat | Hides chat badges and shows every username in the text colour. |
| Background colour | The page colour. Sidebars, chat, menus and text colours are derived from it. Reset it to follow Twitch's own light or dark theme. |
| Channel colours | On a channel's pages, takes the accent and a tinted background from the channel's own colour, adjusted until text stays readable. |
| Home carousel | Shows the featured streams at the top of the home page. Off by default. |
| Stories | Shows stories in the sidebar and on Following. Off by default. |
The popup follows the browser's language: English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Turkish, Russian, Japanese, Korean and Chinese (simplified and traditional). Other languages get English.
Chrome. Install it from the Chrome Web Store. Requires Chrome 120 or later; Chrome keeps it up to date.
To install it by hand instead:
Download restyle-for-twitch.zip from the latest release and unzip it.
Open chrome://extensions and turn on Developer mode.
Click Load unpacked and select the unzipped folder. Keep that folder: Chrome loads the extension from it.
Firefox. Install it from Firefox Add-ons. Requires Firefox 140 or later; Firefox keeps it up to date.
To try a release before it reaches Firefox Add-ons, load it for one session: download restyle-for-twitch-firefox.zip, open about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox, click Load Temporary Add-on and select the zip.
Twitch changes its markup without notice, so an update on their side can break part of the restyle. If something looks wrong, open an issue with a screenshot and the page's address.
What people usually ask before installing it.
Install the extension and click its icon. Pick one of the eight dark and light themes, or set your own accent and background colours. Channel colours can also take them from the channel you are watching. Changes apply without reloading the page.
With the extension on, the carousel is hidden and its video paused. A setting brings it back if you want it.
Yes, stories are hidden by default, in the sidebar and on Following. A setting shows them again.
It is free and open source. It only runs on twitch.tv, collects nothing, and its one permission stores your settings.
No. It changes how Twitch looks, not how it works.
Yes. Turn off "Enable on Twitch" in the popup and Twitch is back as it was.
The extension only runs on twitch.tv. It collects nothing and sends nothing anywhere. Its one permission, storage, is used to remember your settings.
