Description

Overlay the Twitch.tv live chat with Chatterino, bringing the native performance and features of Chatterino to the website. Have the same experience chatting no matter if you are watching or are in offline chat. We use events and data provided by the browser to overlay a native Chatterino window over the browser. The information includes the channel in which the user is in, as well as the size of the chat. Changing the tab or closing a window causes the Chatterino application to hide/show the window. Chatterino tracks the position and z-level of the Browser window and moves itself accordingly. NOTE: - This extension only works on Windows. - We need to overlay a native window over the browser window which is tricky by design and may not work for you setup.

Same as other review having "Chatterino should show here" on every browser I tested (9 of them including Vivaldi, Opera, Opera GX, Firefox, Brave) and only worked on Edge which I'm not using

Doesn't work at all, screen stuck on "Chatterino should show here". * Should be noted that you are required to INSTALL chatterino, the portable variant does NOT work with this extension. Atrocious lack of direction and support. Wasted an hour of troubleshooting random garbage.

Why does this exist if it only works on windows, windows already has the download

its marked as "compatible for your device" (mac) so i spent ages tryna get it to work, with both nightly and just normal chatterino up. then i read down the very bottom in the extra notes section that says 'windows only' :Stare: woulda been nice if u marked it as incompatible at the top lmao,, also release a version that works for mac, thanks :ok:

Worked for a few minutes and then stopped working altogether. Chatterino never loads inline even though it's running.

It worked, replaced twitch chat with chaterino. However it also added another huge black bar, the size of another chat, on the left of that, which made the actual video player the size of a pea since there was no space left on the screen.

Like the others have said, this extension does not work, and it seems to have been abandoned based on the last update it had received. I hope this gets supported again someday because Twitch's own chat can cause incredible lag if left open in channels with many viewers typing and/or using emotes.

This extension is buggy as all hell. The window gets stuck often resulting in refreshing streams or the program. Changing any view on twitch breaks this extension. So clunky. Wish it worked better cus it's better than regular chat window. 😖

Needs an update after twitch changed its layout. It currently breaks the twitch page.

It's good, but using vertical tabs breaks the extension

Doesn't work with "Twitch™ Adblock Plus"

unfortunately it cant run as its own window. when you close the main window itll close the browser one too. a bigger issue is that the panel in back that says "chatterino should be here" is too wide. it leaves a blank space on the right of the chat, and on top of the chat (though i do have the bit leaderboards and stuff hidden so maybe thats something that cant be addressed)

There are some small bugs but other than that it is good.

on 1440p screen the chat box is too far left not in the correct position and covers some of the stream .

Changing zoom level on Chrome messes up the position of the window

Please add support for opera gx, it worked nicely on chrome but does not work at all with opera gx for some reason when i enable it.

On 2560x1440 multi monitor setups and on the standard non beta Chrome builds it will be about 200 px off the actual chat. However, this may be due to interference with FFZ/BTV which should have been an oversight with chatterino. But Chatterino on it's own is a great program, so I can't really fault him for the coding not being perfect on an extension

I'm sure this is exactly what I want but there is no Linux support D:

It works, but there's no compatibility for "Alternate Player for Twitch.tv" extension

Pretty good overall however if you're a moderator in someone's chat and you toggle mod-view on this extension and tab out and tab back in you have to keep manually turning mod-view back on each time which gets annoying.
