It's been a few weeks since Twitch changed how stream quality auto changes based on whether the tab is in the current tab/window or not. This change automatically lowers the quality of streams to 480p (or lower) for streams not in the current tab, and when the stream is tabbed back into focus it does not always resume the originally selected quality.
This is affecting multiple browsers, with or without extensions, so this is seems very much a Twitch end feature to lower data use.
This change however has resulted in some issues:
-More buffering
-Streams hanging/pausing when tabbed out
-Quality not restoring when tabbed back
-Playback issues such as audio desync when the stream quality changes and latency has to catch up
-Streams in background no longer has thumbnail view in task view (windows key + tab) to simultaneously view multiple streams and is instead just a black screen video player.Overall I feel like the changes have not improved the user experience and has instead introduced more issues than it saves. It should be up to the user to open as many streams as they wish at whichever quality and maintain such experience regardless of window focus.

Just wanted to update this thread that we are doing an experiment right now with Stream Display Ads!
These are less disruptive ads that allow viewers to see and hear Creators while being displayed. Creators will receive ad revenue for each SDA shown.
You can find out more information here: https://twitter.com/TwitchSupport/status/1422255927483318277

Advertising on Twitch should not revolve around glorifying violence and fetishizing war crimes, especially in Pre-Rolls. These ads viewers see upon first entering a channel contain content from shows/games not appropriate for all ages, regardless of channel age warning.
This means Twitch is knowingly showing inappropriate content to minors as well as promoting violent content and endorsing war crimes.
Twitch needs to clearly define what ads can be included in Pre-Rolls and remove/reduce these type of inappropriate ads from the new user/viewer experience.
Examples of heavily repeated Pre-Roll ads promoting violence/war crimes:
-Call of Duty Warzone
-Amazon Prime shows
