Reviews of hyperchat by livetl:
Review for version 2.6.8 It fixed but still buggy. Sometimes not active by default, must disable-enable Hyperchat. Rating increase to 4 stars. Review for version 2.3.1 Still not fixed. Review for version 2.3.0 Good update for translation but it translate wrong. I choose English but they translate Indonesian. Same with other languages. I'll change the review if the problem fixed. For now, it's okay.
the extension works, for at least the " top chat ", the live chat however it does not. - when in live chat mode, no messages show up. please fix this bug, i can't use this extension unless i can fully use the chat.
Was working perfectly before but now, auto-translate won't work no matter what I do. Too bad... Edit: My one star review was truly unfair to the devs so changed it back to 5 stars. Hope it'll work in thee future like before
Almost perfect, the problem is.... choosing english translation doesn't work, it keep translating into Indonesian language for some reason ( I can speak Indonesia so it was not a deal breaker). Hopefully this issues is fixed in near future. I tried it on mozzile firefox and the problem persist.
Works as intended
Very nice extension. The latest update (at the time of writing this) of adding the settings was very nice. Hopefully there will be an option to display the superchat/membership bar and font customization (because live chat font is very small imo) in the future. Thank you and keep up the good work!
Amazing -- clearly the reviews show that people don't know where to find the extension settings, since most of the things people complain about can be customized in settings. My only issue is the ~2 second delay in sending messages, but it's still worth it to be able to watch streams without stuttering thanks to CPU overflow. I understand that it's probably an API limitation, but I would love to see less message-sending delay, and the ability to superchat etc. from the Hyperchat box. Great extension overall; keep up the good work!
It did indeed heavily reduce CPU usage of the chat like it said, at the cost of making everything else about it considerably worse, with at the time I downloaded it, no way I could find to change any options anywhere. It definitely has potential if I could actually customize anything about it, but with a simple TamperMonkey script to hide the SC bar you basically get the same amount of CPU reduction with no loss in features compared to this extension that removes all function for only form.
good one
Great extension, really helped me during streams with like what, 100k concurrent viewers? Thanks to this, I didn't even crash once. Gura outfit reveal saved.
8.5-10% down to 4-5% on R7-1700 really works
Reduce the ridiculous CPU usage by youtube chat.
works as intended
I like the extension because it makes the live chat bearable (which usually lags even on my pc despite it being quite a powerful pc), but as another reviewer said, the messages in the chat (yours and others') appear very late. I'm guessing this is to reduce CPU usage too, but it's really frustrating to be even 6-10 messages late compared to the streamer and the whole chat.
chat like speed
Perfect for users like me who would even give up the live chat just to barely watch streams, but want to interact with the stream in some way. Although if you're not okay with no avatars in live chat and other live chat features either completely disabled or downgraded in some way, this may not be the extension for you.
Super smooth. Great UI
It does what it claims to do very well, and made live chat bearable to open on my toaster laptop. However, it doesn't seem very polished, I can live without seeing the avatars, but the message sending delay is really painful. The alternating backgrounds do increase readability and I liked that, however you can't see superchats for some reason. It needs a bit more tweaks, but it really does optimize the live chat, just keep in mind the few concessions in doing so.
Very nice extension the only things I would really want is showing pinned comments at the top, and being able to show superchats pinned to the top.
This extension fully changes how youtube chat looks, and all changes seem to be for the worst: - Removes avatars - Makes the text smaller and less readable - Adds alternating black and gray background to messages which is a good intention, but the gray is too bright, vibrates with green usernames and adds too much visual clutter and impairs readability - Chat messages are misaligned vertically within their background boxes, either up or down, always off center - Pressing chat function buttons such as "toggle timestamps" breaks the functionality outright. - Most important: No options to tweak the visual presentation of the chat. tldr very poor presentation and a direct visual downgrade to the original chat. I cannot in good conscience recommend this extension to anyone.
Nice extensions but i can't see my own messages in the YouTube Live Chat after i send them. I cant find links in chat to copy and paste back in chat or messages i want to delete.
Very noticeable change, thanks you for extension!!
Very nice extension, but as people said above, would be nice to collect and show hyperchat messages somewhere. And maybe messages from verified YouTubers too? They are hard to catch live but I'd love to read them easily :) +1 for adding multiple styles too! Ideally there should be an "original youtube" style where basically everything stays the same (fonts, colors, sizes, etc) and only CPU usage is optimized.
The only thing I wanted to add is the superchat like in regular. Everything else is freaking flawless though.
Much better than the default chat.
Works very well, but the UI could do with some tweaking, the usernames look really bad in bold especially with Japanese characters.
Does exactly what it says on the box, reduces CPU usage of my Ryzen 3600 by literally about 15% when active. Only thing I'd love is a little bit more customization options (colors, text size), and maybe an option to display older Superchat messages on top like regular chat. Looking forward to future versions!
Works like a charm! This really makes my CPU usage way lower than the normal CPU usage when watching a youtube livestream
Does what it says on the label and has a neat alternating colorscheme
Thank you so much Kento Nishi. As someone with a 5 year old CPU, this extension is a life saver.
