Review for v2.1.0 Works well, by far the best plugin for adding furigana. 1 problem: it messes up the UI of twitch.tv I tried adding it to 'The following sites never add furigana' in the settings, but it still messes it up. [SOLVED] I put both twitch.tv & https://www.twitch.tv before, those didn't work. turns out you have to add www. without the https. Adding www.twitch.tv works well. Thank you for the response. Other than that, it's a solid plugin. Don't bother with the other ones if you want a free plugin that automatically adds furigana. this one is the best.
