## Description

The Notifications are in the Browser itself and not as Windows Notification! What was the whole reason to start that project.
<ul><li>but no worries if you really want windows notification there is a setting</li><li>select which channel sends a notification  and quick check all/uncheck all and a lock option to prevent accidentals (list only)</li><li>Oauth Login on Twitch to import/update every 30s your follow list + manual import if needed</li><li>manual add Channels to get Notifications without the need of following (highlighted yellow)</li><li>can choose 4 locations/positions of the Notification</li><li>choose in which browser Window you want the Notification (All, specific Window or active Window)</li><li>custom Notification lifespan slider (1s-60s) + a never disappear option</li><li>in-page notification sounds + volume slider(none and 5 options to choose from) (system notifications use windows sounds that are controlled by windows)</li></ul>
Planned features:
<ul><li>UI/design overhaul to make it look pretty(partially already started WIP) :)</li><li>remove the remove button on automatic added channels</li><li>change the remove button to a purple X on manual added channels</li><li>game name smaller under channel name</li></ul>
Maybe planned features
<ul><li>favorite streamers so they stay on top of the list</li><li>Different Themes/Custom Design/Colors</li></ul>
Limitations:

In-Page Notifications does not work on Mozilla related pages like <a href="http://addons.mozilla.org" rel="nofollow">addons.mozilla.org</a>, internal pages like about:addons or other add-on option pages (e.g. moz-extension://*). This is because Firefox restricts add-ons from accessing these pages for security reasons.
In-Page Audio for notifications also only plays if the audio auto play settings is enabled on the current tab/website (if you are on sites that block it as default you will not hear it - you can have both In-Page and system up but be aware that you get 2 sounds every time ;))

Permissions explained:
<ul><li>Display notifications to you: <em>This is used to show a notification in-page and/or on system messages</em></li><li>Access your data for all websites and Access browser tabs: <em>This is a key permission, because the notification is shown on every webpage you visit (which means a part of the code is running in each tab).</em> <blockquote>To my knowledge this is how it works. If there are some errors or missing or not required permissions let me know</blockquote></li></ul>
