YouTube joins Friendly Chat

  • Merge YouTube live chat into the feed on Twitch and Kick. Paste a live-video or channel URL, choose a live-channel suggestion, or save a YouTube channel link for future visits.
  • A one-time introduction and setup buttons help new and existing users allow optional YouTube access.
  • Send to YouTube using your signed-in browser session when its native chat box is available. YouTube sending is off by default: check the displayed account and select its send target before posting. Firefox includes a sign-in access setup that keeps tracking protection enabled.
  • Selected YouTube sending is highlighted red. Duplicate YouTube rows, the extra YT name badge, and successful-send status messages have been removed.

Other improvements

  • Press Up/Down in the message box to recall recently sent messages.
  • Fixed Backspace/Delete in Firefox on Twitch and Kick.
  • Twitch and Kick notifications stay visible and clickable above chat, including stacked toasts and moved/resized panels.
  • Kick Drops, inventory, and creator dashboard pages no longer open an unwanted overlay. The live-chat dashboard at /stream remains supported.
  • Twitch Gigantify emote rewards now display enlarged.
  • Removed the developer redirect URL from ordinary account settings.

Install and update

  • Chrome: download FriendlyChatExtension-v1.23.0.zip and follow the README's unpacked-extension instructions. Reload the extension and refresh open stream tabs after replacing the files.
  • Firefox: install FriendlyChatExtension-v1.23.0-firefox.xpi, signed by Mozilla. Existing signed installs receive this version through the Firefox update feed. The unsigned XPI is for temporary development loading only.
  • YouTube is optional and requires site access. Reading and sending depend on YouTube's native embedded chat and browser session availability; normal YouTube chat restrictions apply. No YouTube API key or self-hosted service is needed.

Validation: 3,362 tests passed; 100% coverage of new/changed JavaScript (not whole-repository coverage); five isolated browser suites passed. See VALIDATION-v1.23.0.md for evidence and browser-test limits. Includes fixes for #62, #63, and #64.
