- (2021-11-09) Em Me: It's good but has some bugs. Better YouTube Live is a better option now I think.
- (2021-10-16) Saad Anjum: Doesn't work anymore, found https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/better-youtube/nfbnikpgcldgbpmpckhcajakdhfjjghk which works well enough.
- (2021-09-02) Jimmy Navio: Hasn't been updated in 2 years. Most of the features no longer work. Appears the github project is basically dead. Anyone want to fork the project?
- (2021-09-02) Don't watch muh videos and don't scrubskribe: Update your outdated extension to the newest one.
- (2021-05-18) Tarmec: This add-on is out dated and no longer functional. Would really enjoy an update that mirrors most features of FFZ or BetterTTV

- (2020-01-24) Hencewurth: doesn't even work on a livestream. only the youtube generic emotes pop-up
- (2019-09-21) Roberto Barbuto: Uninstalled after having it over an year and after the last update. theres no need to having the plugin running with the start of windows and when not even chrome is opened. no thanks
- (2019-07-20) Johny Sidestep: Herdyn emotes missing. Uninstall
- (2019-03-20) too many bugs for me to use, it breaks my notifications which makes it hard to clear them the normal way, also it remembers what page i had open last even tho its disabled in chrome. Another thing i can think of is pop out chat don't work it breaks the extension every time, also makes it impossible to scroll up in chat 60% of the time. Its a good idea but its soo broken and until its fixed im not using it anymore.
- (2019-02-05) Blue: Everything seems fine, but is there a way to change your own name's color because that bothers me
- (2018-09-30) Thomas Hally: Great!
- (2018-09-20) Michał Podstolski (Draqone): It needs an easier way to access the emotes (autocomplete and a scroll list on the YT page itself).
- (2018-08-28) Gamefreak: Works on Iceposeidon.com again as of the latest update. Thanks devs!
- (2018-08-10) Connor Small: Great Emotes from Twitch on Youtube Live with Ice and the Cx Network
- (2018-07-09) TJ Blackmore: How do I use the emotes? Do I have to memorize the commands?
- (2018-07-07) Gabriel Santos: otimo
- (2018-06-26) GordonGman: Cx
- (2018-06-03) Knalli Kalle: Echt Super! Namen im Youtube Chat in Farbe wie auf Twitch! :) Als bei mir die App von Rocketbeans nicht mehr ging, hatte ich lange keine farbigen Namen mehr. Doch zum Glück schrieb mir jemand das es diese App hier gibt. Das einzigste was mir hier fehlt (deshalb auch nur 4 Sterne) Das die Bilder der Zuschauer vor den Namen weg sind. :)

- (2018-03-09) ResidentSleeper: Amazing emotes and I love the colored names. But when I change the the chat to "Live Chat" the colored names and the emotes are "disabled", like they wont work.
- (2018-02-04) Lawanda Game: Положительное впечатление

Hi I am a youtube streamer who averages 2-3k viewers. I would really like to work with you to improve this addon. Hit me up on twitter @dellorlol or [email protected] Youtube streaming is taking off and it would be good for everyone if we could get this extension updated! - (2019-02-05, v:0.2.0) Blue: would appreciate a way to/how to
Unless I didn't check enough, as far as I know there isn't a way to change the color of your name. If there is a way to do that, I would appreciate telling me. That's it, everything else works fine. Thank you in advance - (2018-09-14, v:0.2.0) Zainy: Chat
The "Top-chat" works perfectly. I personally would like the "Live-chat" to get updated the same way. When you click on the topchat button then switch it to livechat, all the plugin settings go away, meaning it only works for the topchat settings. - (2018-08-11, v:0.1.0) ⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻: Kappa doesn't work
Fix Kappa. also add more ffz emotes, like Pog , etc. - (2018-08-02, v:0.1.0) Vaseline: show deleted messages

Would it be possible to get the option to move the chat to the left side, just like bttv does on twitch? Thanks - (2018-04-14, v:0.1.0) Nyhmz: Notifications
Would it be possible to manually add channels to get the sound notifications when they go live for? Right now you get Ice's but I would like Sam's and what not.
