かゆり (ID: 0000001cd31e9296) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/21/2023 native mode時でも背景を透明化できるようにしてほしい。ただbata版だからなのかnative modeが機能しないときがある。正式に追加された時には機能していてほしい

Jon Bowers (ID: 000000eb34bfaed2) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/17/2023 Shortcut to turn it on conflicts with another extension I'm already using and there's no option to change it. Looking at the support site others mentioned this nearly 2 years ago with a comment 8 months later saying it will be added in the next update. Doesn't appear to have been added yet, as a result unable to get the extension to work.

Phillip Motsinger II (ID: 00000032acf51c3c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/27/2023 Incredibly useful, especially with how many creators are moving from Twitch to YT right now! +2

Илья Ковалёнок (ID: 000000f5776a48f4) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/13/2023 It's a great extension, but it doesn't work in Microsoft Edge, and it works in Opera GX. So I have to use two browsers. I understand that writing this here is not quite right, but I don't see any other option.

william “awardsho” (ID: 0000005e09a88e0b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/28/2023 Good UI, smooth chat. Pops up with no lag. Not laggy to move at all. Easy 3 buttons. Only problem would be the amount of double chats? Like same message by same person coming up twice. I noticed a few times and double checked outside of the extension in regular chat and confirmed it was the extension. I have to admit though very nice!
