Charles Magnuson (ID: 0000005027bd2054) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/13/2023 This extension breaks Twitch and there's no option to put Twitch on an allow list. This means that every time I want to watch Twitch, I have to manually disable Crumbs. I wish Crumbs had an allow list so that it wouldn't be used on Twitch. UPDATE: Thanks for the tip. I'm not sure why, but the pause button would not display while browsing Twitch unless I pinned the extension. I checked a couple times without seeing the pause option, then decided to pin the extension which caused the pause option to appear. I wonder if another extension is coming in conflict with Crumbs. Either way, disabling Crumbs on Twitch now means I am able to use their website without issue. I appreciate the help.
