Restores Legacy Chat

What is Twitch Legacy Chat?
Twitch Legacy Chat is a Chrome extension customized for Twitch users who prefer the classic, 'legacy' version of Twitch chat. The extension restores the previous chat version by employing iFrames, as Twitch's new site layout has introduced certain changes which some users find uncomfortable or confusing. Embrace the nostalgia with Twitch Legacy Chat and enjoy chatting as you used to!

EDIT: Dev fixed it! 10/10, thank you! old: Doesn't seem to work well with resolutions higher then 1080. Had to edit it to fill the height completely.
