Steven Edelkamp (ID: 000000fea2ea5c50) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/07/2018 Love this extension. I had a problem with the new update, because I really love the minimalist look without names. I contacted the developer, and it was fixed that same day! Amazing work, and super fast response.

Zinc G. ZDraco (ID: 00000016177d5493) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/06/2018 The newest update makes it look less like IRC, I preferred the way that it looked before the update. Perhaps to fix this, maybe it can look more like instead of just Name within the chat window.
