- TL tags ([EN], [JP], etc.)
- Message types (superchats, membership messages, etc.)
- Text filters (contains, starts with, ends with, equals, regex, etc.)

Filtered chat messages are archived into persistent storage. Message logs can be easily imported/exported as text files, json files, or screenshots.

Mike G (ID: 000000b561186037) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/03/2022 I thought this extension would allow me to filter chats. For example in You Tube or Twitch it should recognize a keyword then filter that particular comment. It cannot do this. I want to use it to prevent spammers by filtering their comments based on certain strings used such as "XYZ".

Rizal Boon (DualSoulArtz) (ID: 000000295ab81e04) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/16/2021 Nice extension that allows me to filter english only chat and only tagged chat separately with the original chat going on too fast.
