Awesome you got it working again! But it would be nice if the firefox one got fixed as well :P Edit: nevermind, I saw that you updated it too. Thanks!

Very Much Love This App. Wondering If This App Will Also Be Added To Opera GX That Would Be Awesome.

As others have mentioned this hasn't worked as well with Picarto as it used to since they updated their website. However, I'm still able to see the number of followed streamers online on the extension's icon, and clicking does still tell me which specific ones are online. If that's all you need from it, like I do, then it works pretty well for that!
