Replaces the chat on Twitch.tv with Chatterino.
Chatterino Native Host Extension
We use events and data provided by the browser to overlay a native Chatterino window over the browser. The information includes the channel in which the user is in, as well as the size of the chat. Changing the tab or closing a window causes the Chatterino application to hide/show the window. Chatterino tracks the position and z-level of the Browser window and moves itself accordingly.
NOTE:
- This extension only works on Windows.
- We need to overlay a native window over the browser window which is tricky by design and may not work for you setup.
