great

Does exactly what it says on the tin, love the improved performance and ability to switch to live chat by default.

HyperChat is a must-have extension. YouTube's regular live chat box can slow down your browser, especially on non-Chromium-based browsers. HyperChat replaces the chat box with its own, more performant version. For those who watch streamers with community or hired chatters who post "live" translation comments, such as select streams from Hololive, this extension features a custom interface to display those messages, making it easier to follow along with the dialogue.

Makes youtube chat efficient enough to actually be usable on my tablet

It would be 5 star if I could respond easier to other chatters without manually typing their names.

Spam blue message every time a chat loads. Not recommended

Great Extension!
 
Not exactly what I had in mind, but it works nonetheless. I hope in the future you'll add a filter to filter "Japanese Only" text and vice versa. I'll bear with only using the "Member Only" filter for now.

This made my day, old laptop(i5 3210m) now can open chat on youtube live!

Fixed the memory leak.
