01
Filter the front page
Hide streamers, whole categories, or anything whose title matches a keyword. Wildcards and viewer-count thresholds are supported. A temporary hide expires after a day instead of living forever in a block list.
Filter the directory, run several streams in one grid, and put chat where it belongs. Everything is a toggle, everything stays in your browser, and nothing turns itself on.
Channels you follow that are live now. Send one to the multiview grid without leaving the page you are on.
Rules evaluate in real time. Matching channels, categories, and shelves are removed instantly.
Drag any cell onto another to swap positions. Audio focus keeps exactly one stream audible.
Multi-channel tabbed chat, merged IRC feed, multiview split drops, in-video overlay, and standalone PiP window.
Computed in your browser and stored locally. There is no server to send it to.
01 / What it does
Streamline is not a theme and not a skin. Every feature below is a discrete control with its own switch, and the extension does nothing you have not asked it to do.
01
Hide streamers, whole categories, or anything whose title matches a keyword. Wildcards and viewer-count thresholds are supported. A temporary hide expires after a day instead of living forever in a block list.
02
A multiview grid with saved layout presets, keyboard navigation and drag-to-swap cells. Audio focus keeps exactly one stream audible, so the other three are not fighting for your attention.
03
A resizable overlay you can drop anywhere over the player, a merged feed that folds several channels into one column, a pop-out window, and picture-in-picture.
04
BetterTTV and 7TV, including zero-width overlay emotes, rendered in the overlay and the pop-out as well as in Twitch's own chat.
05
The carousel, the top nav, individual sidebar sections, the chat header, footer and banners. Each one is its own toggle rather than a single blunt clean-up switch.
06
Per-channel watch time and session stats, stored locally. An optional nudge tells you when you have been watching for a while. Nothing leaves the browser.
02 / Where it runs
Both caveats are stated here rather than discovered after installing.
Streamline has no backend. Your rules, your layouts and your watch statistics live in your browser profile. The complete list of hosts it contacts is beside this paragraph, and it is three items long.
Install it, add a single rule, and reload the directory. If it is not for you, remove it and nothing is left behind.
