This web extension works great for UTube! I like how you can pop out chat, and how you can change themes. Live chat works fine, and I have no issues with it. Sometimes it gets stuck, and I have to refresh it. Other than that, I recommend anyone that is frequently using UTube to give it a download. It also works great for Firefox browsers.
