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.
