- (2023-11-03) 휘동이: The popup window "Add stream" after adding some stream cannot close. Fix this, please. (a few days ago) --> I found out the issue comes from 'Hide Top Bar of Stream' of the 7tv extension, not from this extension. If someone has the same problem when using "Add stream", just turn off that option of the 7tv.
