Version 0.3.3
Released Aug 20, 2024 - 15.32 KBWorks with firefox 58.0 and later- The chat message input field is now displayed by default when it's not empty (without needing to hover your mouse / pointer over it). This way, you can see what you're typing without having to move your mouse every time.
- Support for YouTube's new SuperChat thread modal (the thing where you can see the SC content as well as messages replying to it):
- Fix an issue where the SC thread modal is too wide and gets cut off when the chat window is narrower.
- Fix an issue where the message input field at the bottom of the SC thread modal is hidden unless hovered over.
- Add support for remembering the chat window size / position on YouTube clips (previously this feature only works reliably on normal videos and streams).Source code released under MIT License
Version 0.3.2
Released May 10, 2024 - 15.15 KBWorks with firefox 48.0 and laterFixed a bug where the YouTube player seek bar / progress bar breaks when it's "dodging" the chat overlay. For videos with an interactable seek bar, it now returns to its original length when your mouse hovers over it, which avoids causing the bug.Source code released under MIT License
Version 0.3.1
Released May 5, 2024 - 14.85 KBWorks with firefox 48.0 and later- The chat overlay now shrink to fit the bottom and right edges of the screen when moved against said edges
- YouTube player's bottom controls now "dodge" the chat overlay so that they don't overlap each other
- Remembers up to 25 videos' chat positions and sizes (so you don't have to readjust every time you refresh or continue where you left off)
- Remove unwanted borders at the top and bottom of the overlay chatSource code released under MIT License
Version 0.2.3
Released Apr 11, 2024 - 13.97 KBWorks with firefox 48.0 and laterNo longer opens a webpage to request for permission to run on YouTube's pages upon installation (but Firefox may request for said permission in a small popup dialog). The permission request was added in the previous release due to technical requirements. We have reverted those requirements so this is no longer needed either.Source code released under MIT License
Version 0.2.2
Released Apr 8, 2024 - 15.54 KBWorks with firefox 109.0a1 and later- Properly support when the chat has been closed / collapsed and replaced with a "Show chat" button. Previously this may cause the user to be unable to click on the UI in the full-screen YouTube player, which is now fixed. Additionally, the "Show chat" button now shows in full-screen mode, allowing users to reopen the closed chat without leaving full-screen mode.
- New look for the chat box drag / move handle.
- New custom resize handle instead of using Firefox's built-in resize handle (nothing wrong with Firefox's built-in resize handle, but we need our own implementation to support other browsers)
- Request for permission to run on YouTube's pages upon installation. Previously the extension could receive said permission automatically, but due to a technical change needed to support other browsers, we now need to request for permission explicitly.
