How to Install Chain Reaction Kodi Addon on FireStick (2025)

In this tutorial, I will show you how to install Chain Reaction Kodi addon. I use an Amazon Fire Stick with Kodi 19.5 in this tutorial. Still, you can install the Chain Reaction addon on all Kodi-compatible devices, like Windows PC, Mac, smartphones, tablets, Fire TV, NVIDIA Shield, and all Amazon Fire TV products (including the Fire TV Cube, FireStick Lite, and FireStick 4K).

What is Chain Reaction Kodi Addon?

The Chain Reaction is the rebranded version of the erstwhile Chain addon. You can install this addon from the popular Crew Repository. This Kodi add-on offers extensive entertainment, including the latest movies, trending TV series, documentaries, and a wide array of free content on both TV and online platforms.

The Chain Reaction Kodi addon scraps links from multiple external sources from the internet, ensuring high-quality viewing options for users. In addition to its broad content library, the Chain Reaction addon is designed for seamless navigation and user-friendly browsing.

It supports various video resolutions and regularly updates its database to provide users with the most current and relevant media. The Chain Reaction Kodi add-on offers a comprehensive streaming experience to users and is considered reliable.

Attention Kodi Users!

Governments and ISPs across the world monitor your online activities. If you use third-party Kodi addons, you should always use a good Kodi VPN and hide your identity so your streaming experience doesn’t take a bad turn. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone.

I use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure VPN in the industry. It is very easy to install on any device, including Amazon Fire TV Stick, PC, Mac, and Smartphones. Also, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you don't like their service, you can always ask for a refund. ExpressVPN also has a special deal where you can get 4 months free and save 61% on the 2-year plan.

Here is why you must use a VPN all the time.

Is Chain Reaction Kodi Addon Safe and Legal?

You can stream a lot of content from the Chain Reaction Kodi addon. However, its safety and legality are questionable. Users wonder about installing and using it because the Chain addon is available in the unofficial Crew Repository.

I analyzed the Crew Repository using the online Total Antivirus. The scan didn’t find anything suspicious about the Crew Repository. Here’s a screenshot of the scan.

However, the question of its legality remains. There are bound to be questions regarding the legality of any third-party Kodi addon as its content source cannot be verified, and it might be fetching links without proper licensing. Downloading and installing the Chain Kodi addon is 100% legal, but using the addon to stream or download content could be illegal.

It’s not just about streaming copyrighted content from illicit sources, which is breaking the law. It’s also about region-restricted content, licenses, and other factors that determine the legal status of any content from a third-party addon. Your government and ISP (internet service provider) are aware of your online activity, so if you stream content unavailable in your region, you could get in legal trouble.

Therefore, I recommend using ExpressVPN with Chain Reaction and other unofficial Kodi addons to ensure peace of mind. ExpressVPN masks your streaming activities from anyone who might be monitoring them.

Before you start streaming with Kodi Addons or Builds, I would like to warn you that everything you stream on Kodi is visible to your ISP and Government. This means, streaming copyrighted content (free movies, TV shows, live TV, and Sports) might get you into legal trouble.

Thankfully, there is a foolproof way to keep all your streaming activities hidden from your ISP and the Government. All you need is a good VPN for Kodi. A VPN will mask your original IP which is and will help you bypass Online Surveillance, ISP throttling, and content geo-restrictions.

I personally use and recommend ExpressVPN, which is the fastest and most secure VPN. It is compatible with all kinds of streaming apps and devices.

NOTE: We do not encourage the violation of copyright laws. But, what if you end up streaming content from an illegitimate source unintentionally? It is not always easy to tell the difference between a legit and illegal source.

So, before you start streaming on Kodi, here's how to get VPN protection in 3 simple steps.

Step 1: Get the ExpressVPN subscription HERE. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it free for the first 30-days and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for a full refund.

Step 2: Click HERE to download and install the ExpressVPN app on your streaming device. If you are using a FireStick, I have given the exact steps starting with Step 4 below.

Step 3: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That's all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for Kodi.

The following are the steps to install Kodi VPN on your Fire TV devices. If you have other streaming devices, follow Step 1-3 above.

Step 4: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE (if not subscribed already).

Step 5: Go to Fire TV Stick home screen. Click Find followed by Search option (see image below).

Step 6: Type Expressvpn in the search bar and select when it shows up.

Step 7: Click Download.
