🔔 Aar318's Stream Notifier: Live Alerts for Twitch and Kick

Keep track of your favorite Twitch and Kick streamers from any browser tab. Stream Notifier adds a draggable floating button that opens a responsive dashboard showing who is live, along with thumbnails, viewer counts, favorites, quick previews, and direct links to each stream.

🚀 Getting Started

1. Install the extension and pin it from your extension menu for easy access.
2. Open the Streamers panel and add a Twitch or Kick channel, or use + This Page while visiting a supported channel.
3. Mark important creators as favorites and allow notifications when prompted.
4. Leave the extension running—status checks and live alerts continue automatically in the background.

✨ New Features (v3.42.0.3)

• Unified Seasonal Controls: Holiday colors now extend cleanly across both the Streamers button and its attached position lock.
• Immediate Theme Refresh: Enabling or disabling holiday themes updates both attached controls without requiring a page reload.

⭐ Key Features

• Twitch and Kick Tracking: Monitor individual creators on either platform, or track the same creator on both platforms from one entry.
• Session Dashboard: Review newly live, recently ended, longest-live, rising-viewer, and favorite activity per profile. Session history is local, bounded, manually clearable, and optionally cleared on a schedule.
• Favorite-First Checks: Favorites are checked immediately when selected, every 30 seconds on a coordinated priority cycle, and first during complete status checks.
• Live Desktop Alerts: Receive click-to-open notifications when a tracked streamer goes live, with cooldowns, duplicate prevention, grouped summaries for busy startup checks, and optional favorite alert sounds.
• Flexible Snooze Options: Pause notifications for preset or custom durations, indefinitely, or through a recurring quiet-hours schedule with an optional favorite exception.
• Streamer Management: Add channels manually, detect creators from supported pages, import from Twitch Following, search tracked channels, and use clickable close-match suggestions when a name is mistyped.
• Profiles and Favorites: Create separate profiles such as Gaming, Work, or Late Night, then pin favorites to the top of each profile.
• Live Cards and Previews: View status dots, thumbnails, viewer counts, recent alert details, direct stream links, inline previews, and compact audio controls.
• Private Insights Dashboard: Reveal Stats for Nerds from Settings to view local activity totals, performance records, streaks, platform breakdowns, and a 14-day chart.
• Responsive Dashboard: Choose Full, Compact, or Mini density, filter by platform, hide offline channels, and retain your place during background refreshes.
• Mobile-Friendly Layout: Phone-width screens use a safe-area-aware bottom drawer, touch-friendly controls, stable scrolling, short-lived NEW badges, and responsive card grids.
• Custom Appearance and Placement: Includes dark mode, seasonal themes, custom colors, adjustable opacity, Simple UI, draggable positioning, an optional attached lock, and collision avoidance with YouTube Notifier when both off-site controls are enabled.
• Site Exclusions: Hide the global overlay on selected domains, paths, or wildcard URL patterns while continuing to use it elsewhere.
• Backup and Recovery: Import/export configurations, create manual backups, or use deduplicated automatic backups with configurable retention and empty-profile recovery.
• Performance for Large Lists: Progressive row creation, bounded status history, lazy thumbnails, and cleanup of detached controls keep long-running tabs responsive.
• Toolbar Shortcuts: Use the extension-icon menu to open the panel, check immediately, add or remove the current channel, manage notification sleep, or open support links.

🔐 Permissions & Privacy

• Storage: Saves streamer lists, profiles, exclusions, notification history, appearance settings, quiet hours, session data, private statistics, and optional backups locally.
• Notifications: Displays system alerts when tracked streamers go live.
• Context Menus: Adds extension-icon shortcuts for panel access, status checks, current-channel management, notification sleep, and support links.

• Privacy: Streamer data, history, backups, sessions, and preferences remain in local browser storage. No analytics or external tracking service is used.

ℹ Notes
