This extension still continues to experience incredible latency while loading 7tv Emotes (specifically). The cdn-7tv-app domain used to host the emotes gets 100-250ms response times for just about everywhere in the world aside from a very small region (Sweden, if I recall correctly). Either it is using super inexpensive hosting with no peering agreements, or its suffering from its own success and being constantly overloaded.

I realize it is possible that we began experiencing these issues after firefox/browsers may have made changes affecting file caching, or other aspects. However I wonder if there are better ways now to manage the emotes platform. If it is THAT high of latency to most places, it would be nice if they could find ways to keep the most used emotes in storage/cache longer, or load non-animated emotes as image maps or animated ones as image packs. Bigger initially but much faster every moment thereafter.

I hope someone comes along to solve this issue that is lagging most users of 7tv emotes all around the world.

bit of a slap in the face for the the main extension to fully break the send message box while advertising a new closed source version lol

instead of trying to force people on to a new extension that does the same thing, you could, idk, continue to update this one, cause i can't use the 'recomended' version cause im on waterfox and its not supported on waterfox 140.11.0/6.6.13

Other emoji extensions, like FFZ, NipahTV, etc. has better GUI and UX...
