works as intended

I like the extension because it makes the live chat bearable (which usually lags even on my pc despite it being quite a powerful pc), but as another reviewer said, the messages in the chat (yours and others') appear very late. I'm guessing this is to reduce CPU usage too, but it's really frustrating to be even 6-10 messages late compared to the streamer and the whole chat.
