it won't even filter messages for me anymore, my old filter settings don't even catch mod or channel owner messages ://

The new version at first wouldn't except my previous filters. Eventually it worked, but the extension refuses to save chats indiscriminately. Now it doesn't work full stop; I can't access the settings or my filters.

It is a very useful tool when I watch streams on YouTube~ Thank you so much to develop this! May I have a suggestion...Is it possible to catch the Membership gifting by your plug-in? It would help a lot if it can be added!
