• Extra emotes in chat - BetterTTV global and per-channel custom emotes
• Improved emote menu
• Custom keywords targeting phrases, words, users, and chat badges
• Split chat lines for easy reading
• See deleted links and messages
• Anon Chat - join a channel without showing in the user list
• Automatically claim channel points bonuses, drops, and moments
• Hide visual noise and clutter like recommended channels, bits, replies, notices, and community highlights

How to use:

• Just install and visit Twitch/YouTube to begin using the add-on.
• To enable for YouTube, you need to agree to the additional permission at installation. If you didn't, you can still enable it at any time from the BetterTTV Settings.
