Twitch Plus

About

Twitch Plus adds a single "Unfollow" option to Chrome's native right-click menu whenever you right-click a Twitch channel link. Clean out your followed list without visiting each channel, opening the kebab menu, and clicking through confirmations.

How it works
  1. Right-click any Twitch channel link — in the left sidebar, a directory tile, a recommendation card, anywhere on twitch.tv.
  2. Pick "Unfollow <channel>" from your normal Chrome context menu, alongside the usual options (Open in new tab, Copy link, Inspect).
  3. Confirm. Twitch Plus sends the unfollow, verifies it, and shows you the result. Your followed list updates on its own.

Built for privacy
  • No account sign-in, no servers, no analytics, no tracking. Everything runs locally in your browser.
  • No cookies or storage are read.
  • The only network request Twitch Plus makes is the single unfollow call to gql.twitch.tv — the exact endpoint twitch.tv itself uses.
  • Open-source behavior by design: the extension is small enough to audit in a single sitting.
What it doesn't do
  • It doesn't log you in or out.
  • It doesn't auto-unfollow anyone. Every action requires your explicit right-click and a confirmation dialog.
  • It doesn't inject ads, modify Twitch's UI, or touch any site other than twitch.tv.

Permissions, and why each is needed
  • contextMenus — to place the "Unfollow" item in Chrome's right-click menu.
  • scripting + host access to https://www.twitch.tv/* — used solely to re-inject Twitch Plus's own bundled scripts into Twitch tabs that were open when the extension updates, so nothing silently breaks after an upgrade. No code is ever fetched from the network; only the files shipped inside the extension are injected.

That is the entire permission footprint. No remote code, no background network activity, no host access outside twitch.tv.

Requirements
  • Chrome 111 or newer.
  • You must be logged into Twitch in the tab where you right-click.
Feedback welcome. The scope is intentionally small: right-click, unfollow, done.
