how the hell do you use this

Paul Joseph, 2024-10-03

I didn't really see any button generated by this extension when I tried to use it, maybe I'm just too blind and didn't see it, then I open chrome devtools on twitch, thinking I'm probably just blind or something, found some CSS classes in a <style> tag that seem related to this extension, such as searchsen-logo-top, searchsen-menu, searchen-loading, searchsen-loader, searchsen-results, searchsen-results-box. .. but not a single HTML element in the DOM with any of these classes. I'm really confused about the current 4.9/5 rating of this extension... Maybe it's just me...? Edit: I forgot to check the console, it says this: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'prepend') at contentScript.js:2:579553 at contentScript.js:2:588811 at contentScript.js:2:588815 Edit 2: I don't know what happened, but the extension's search button showed up after i disabled and re-enabled some extensions, it's fully functional now (idk how, but it is), blends quite well with the Twitch UI, and does it's job. Probably some of my extensions were conflicting with this one or something... but now, it's good Edit 3: Seems that this extension occasionaly throws the errors shown in Edit 1, but i don't know why, anyway, when it shows up it works quite well nonetheless, if you reload or change the URL 2-3 times it does show up
