## Description

SimpleStreamOverlay Browser Bridge connects supported live-streaming pages in Firefox with the locally installed SimpleStreamOverlay Windows desktop application.

It supports YouTube, Twitch and Kick and enables SimpleStreamOverlay to display live chat messages, viewer counts and related stream information in its desktop overlay.

The extension communicates only with the locally installed SimpleStreamOverlay application for its core functionality. It does not sell user data or use browsing information for advertising or profiling.

SimpleStreamOverlay is designed for streamers and content creators who want to monitor live chat and stream information without constantly switching between browser windows.

A compatible SimpleStreamOverlay Windows desktop application is required.
