Speedrun Buddy is a free Chrome add-on that enhances your Twitch viewing experience by providing up-to-date speedrunning information for your favorite games and speedrunners. Developed by Samuel Hohenshell, this tool is designed to make it easier for speedrun enthusiasts to keep track of their favorite streamers and games.

With Speedrun Buddy, whenever you visit a Twitch streamer's page, the add-on automatically gathers speedrunning information for both the streamer and the game they are currently playing. It pulls up speedrun leaderboards associated with the game and provides convenient links to quickly get more information on the game, runner, or runs.

The add-on has a responsive UI and an unobtrusive display, ensuring that it seamlessly integrates with your Twitch viewing experience. To use Speedrun Buddy, simply go to a Twitch page with an active livestream. If game or player information is found, relevant speedrunning statistics will be pulled up under the stream. You can cycle through the games and categories of information or click on the links for more details.

It's important to note that gathering the data for a page may take a moment, usually up to 10 seconds, to update to the new page. However, this does not affect the speed of loading the Twitch page itself. If you encounter any incorrect information, simply refresh the page to fix it. Speedrun Buddy is a personal tool created by Samuel Hohenshell for his own Twitch viewing experience, but he welcomes feedback and suggestions to make it even better.

Enhance your Twitch speedrun viewing experience with Speedrun Buddy and stay up-to-date with the latest speedrunning information for your favorite games and streamers.
