My Drops Auto-Claim Setup

It seems like a lot of people are annoyed by the drops system (myself included), so wanted to give a quick guide on how I have it set up to auto-claim drops for those who may not know. Full disclosure: I'm not 100% sure if all steps have to be followed (with the exception of extension), but this is how I have it set up and it works for me. I'm using the Brave browser.

1. Go to the Chrome Extensions store and download "Twitch Inventory Claimer" and make sure it is turned on.
2. Set the refresh interval that you want (defaults to 1 minute). You can leave it at 1 minute (or increase to something like 5 to play it safe) which will refresh your page very often, or if you plan things out you can set it to 2/4 hours so that it only refreshes the one time, but a bit risky since if it refreshes even a minute early, it'll wait another 2/4 hours before claiming, which means you'll be that far behind the next one.
3. Go to https://www.twitch.tv/drops/inventory and leave open – again, not sure this is required, but worked for me this way.
4. Make sure account is linked and go to a participating channel.
5. Leave volume on on the channel but mute the tab and/or computer (again – NOT the channel mute, the tab/computer mute).
6. That's really it, just confirmed it automatically grabbed another gift once it was at 100% and refreshed the page.

Alternatively – as others have pointed out, leave a stream open and claim from your phone. Not as convenient, but works. Happy claiming!
