Dylan Murphy (ID: 000000fbe889103c) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/17/2023 I love everything this extension does but there is just 1 thing that makes me keep it disabled most of the time. And that is the inability to click my own message to see that I am able to remove it which also confirms that it actually went through. The reason is so many streamers block a lot of random words from chat and many times a completely normal or respectable comment will not go through and you wont even know it. The only way to check is to click on your message and if it shows you are able to remove it then you know it went through and did not get silently censored. It is also the way to check if you are muted/banned from chat or not, since YouTube doesn't notify users when they've been muted from chat. Add this ability and I will change the rating to 5 stars.

pocapele (ID: 0000000f8547d60f) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/16/2022 Review for version 2.6.8 It fixed but still buggy. Sometimes not active by default, must disable-enable Hyperchat. Rating increase to 4 stars. Review for version 2.3.1 Still not fixed. Review for version 2.3.0 Good update for translation but it translate wrong. I choose English but they translate Indonesian. Same with other languages. I'll change the review if the problem fixed. For now, it's okay.
