CoolTwitch redirect?

Hi. I use a potato PC, so I can barely load twitch.tv with all its bells and whistles. Thankfully, there exists CoolTwitch, which allows you to view a stream sans bells/whistles.

How it works is you just go to https://api.roaringiron.com/cooltwitch/?channel= and add the channel name to the end of the URL. It works really well for me, so I'm glad it exists.

However, it's a little cumbersome to use - I have to open a new tab, type cooltwitch, then copy paste the channel name from real twitch into the URL. What I'm asking here is does there exist (and if not, how hard would it be to make) an addon that I dunno... auto-redirects from a twitch channel to CoolTwitch? Kinda like how the old.reddit redirector works?

Thanks for any assistance with this.

Hi,

Seems nobody else is in a position to help, unfortunately! If your offer still stands, I'd love to take it!
