藤原朔, 2025-04-19Nice little extension that allows you to sort streamers from ones you actually watch and those that you just follow. I do believe that I have hit a limit though with how many favorites you can have which is unfortunate as I can only favorite a channel if I unfavorite another. Unsure as to why there is a limitation to this if the extension has hit a size issue or a design flaw that was not thought of when creating. ie just an array that can't resize rather than some other ADT. Looking forwards to some feedback or update on my issue. Apart from that, it helps a lot for someone that follows a lot of channels but only lurks or watches a handful.
