About

AFK Lurker helps you support your favourite Twitch streamers while not even paying attention, either because you're away from your PC at work/asleep, or when you're busy with something else.

Add up to 100 names to the list, and AFK Lurker will automatically open streams when channels go live, with an optional audio cue to alert you.
Streams can be opened in Active or Background Mode - Active means Chrome will swap to the new tab when it's opened, whereas Background will let you stay on your current tab.

Please note: when opened in Background Mode, streams do not fully load, meaning you may miss out on channel points, and Watch Streaks may get broken.
