Abraham (ID: 000000f1c66845ee) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 12/09/2020 İt doesn't colorize the chat anymore

icon

Matt (ID: 000000d9242c5733) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/27/2020 Might be the best Youtube Chat extension around at the moment. All that is missing imo is an option to auto-highlight mod messages (& streamer messages if it doesn't already). Also functionality with chat replays would also be nice.
