Now why the americancheese would this need to access your entire browsing activity?
Except, of course, to nefariously sell your data to third parties.

This version is just a major inconvenience and the new layout feels smaller, also when I open the 7tv menu it does not let me instantly type to search emotes. I have to click the search bar, not sure why they changed that or how its better, when I open the 7tv menu of course I am going to be searching for emotes. Buttons moved for no reason, also random emotes are blurred and the setting to change this are not easily found. Why can I not find the setting when I type "blur" in the settings search bar? That would make so much more sense, instead I have to some how know its because 7tv all the sudden decided to blur unlisted emotes and "unlisted" is the search term I have to use to find that setting. Just went back to the old version

new version is requesting all browsing activity, no context has been added by the devs at the time of writing

Can't even import my old settings. I’ll wait until it gets fixed, because I can’t be bothered setting everything up from scratch.

I started using it because they broke the excellent stable existing version, but dislike the interface changes, especially the lack of an option to use Light Mode and its failure to carry over my list of favorite emotes. I'll be switching to BTTV or FFZ until either this one is improved or the old one is fixed.

WHY a new extension? fix the other one! thousands of people spamming the chat that they can't chat with the 7TV extension anymore, other thousands answering them.....

I have never felt the need to write something like this, but the fact that I log in to a missing chat bar on stable branch - not just extension button missing but full bottom nav bar - shows clear malicious intent; It may be an okay update but its the perception of a rug-pull that can now happen at any moment which immediately has me moving to other alternatives.

If they're going to take away my ability to chat for their own extension at any time why not just use normal twitch chat at this point lmao; IN FACT, why not just mentally envision all the KEKWs, would give you more choice about which ones you see tbh.

forcing people to switch to this is stupid instead of just continuing to update the original and the fact its not compatible for me since im on waterfox and not firefox, it makes 7TV as a whole useless to me

Forcing everyone to switch to this new version by straight up removing the ability to chat with the old version is beyond predatory and absolutely unacceptable. I would rather never use 7TV again now that I know that the devs are willing to break its functionality in order to force its users onto new versions of the same service.

Since this update/release, it has completely broken the ability to delete your own messages as a head moderator. It also made the chat experience much worse by highlighting the highlight message redeem with purple background, and highlighting every mod message with a green outline. I will revise my review and rating if these issues are fixed.
