only just downloaded it but i love it already and its the most updated one so far! only thing id love is a toggle for viewers high to low, low to high, etc. Also, a refresh button, and a the other commenters said, the notifications thing not working otherwise is pretty great so far

Kept asking for permission. Possible spyware.

So this extension works really well for me, including notifications so I just wanted to ask if there was any chance of you guys making something just like this one for youtube livestreams, I still cant find an extension that does this for youtube in the same way, stream counter, list of streams, easy log in, etc
