About YouTube Heart Chat Remover
Removes the heart icon from the bottom right of the chat section during YouTube live streams for a clearer view.
🐍 What functionality does it offer? Users can now control the display of the heart reaction button that appears in the bottom right corner of the chat window when watching a YouTube live stream.
🐍 Why is it necessary? This avoids the situation where the heart reaction button overlaps with the control buttons for the newest chat messages in the chat window, making them inaccessible. It also improves the readability of some comments.
🐍 How to use it By clicking on the icon in the top right corner of Chrome while on a YouTube page and pressing the toggle button, users can control the visibility of the heart reaction button. Once you install this extension, it will automatically remove the button when navigating between pages. However, if it doesn't work properly, please reload the page or use the button provided here.
🐍 Testing environment We have confirmed that it works in the following environments. ※This does not guarantee functionality. ・Chrome ・Vivaldi ・Kiwi Browser ※Requires switching to desktop site display
🐍 Reporting issues Please contact the author X (@sunrise_orz) or email (sunrise.creeper.xor@gmail.com). ※Originally on Twitter
🐍 Disclaimer Please use it at your own risk. We are not responsible for any losses or damages caused by this Chrome extension. Thank you for your understanding.
🐍 Update history October 22, 2023：ver1.0 released December 20, 2023：ver1.1 released Fixed a bug where the functionality did not work when the chat window was popped up. Fixed a bug where the icon was not displayed correctly in some cases. Improved the inquiry process for smoother communication. February 19, 2024：ver1.2 released Added support for English and Chinese (Simplified) in addition to Japanese. Refers to the language settings of the browser software. Fixed typos. May 8, 2024：ver2.0 released Made it so that settings are carried over even when navigating to a different page in the same tab.
Note: Currently, YouTube has improved its UI, and the heart icon in the chat pane is no longer as obtrusive as before. However, it is unclear whether this is a global UI improvement or just a test case being conducted in certain areas. Therefore, this extension will remain available for some time to come. In my estimation, this extension has become unnecessary for many users. Thank you for using it for over half a year.

Data source
Covers every Chrome Web Store extension with at least 100 users, found through the store's public sitemap. User counts are read from public listing pages. The 10% most-used extensions are refreshed daily, the next 40% weekly and the next 40% monthly; the least-used 10% are not refreshed. Google displays rounded user counts (and caps the display at 10,000,000+), so small changes may not be visible. Rating counts above 1,000 are rounded (e.g. 1.6K).
