  * Emote and badge support, including Twitch native, BetterTTV, FrankerFaceZ, and 7TV emotes rendered inline

  ## How to Use
  
  1. Install the extension and visit any Twitch channel, such as `twitch.tv/yourstreamer`.
  2. Chat messages will appear as scrolling overlays on the video.
  3. Use the toggle button in the player controls at the bottom right to quickly enable or disable the overlay.
  4. Hover over the chat region on the player to reveal the toolbar:
      * Rows ±
      * Size ±
      * Settings gear
      * Drag handles for resizing or moving the region
  5. Click the gear icon, or the extension’s toolbar icon, to open the full settings panel.
  
  ## Privacy
  
  This extension does not collect, transmit, or store any user data on remote servers.
  
  All settings are stored locally in your browser. On live channels, chat is read from a hidden Twitch popout-chat iframe, which is the same chat your browser already shows. No third-party servers are contacted by the extension itself.

  Watch Twitch chat directly on the video in danmaku style, like Niconico or Bilibili. Messages fly across the player so you can follow the stream and chat at the same time.
