YouTube Live Chat Tick

A simple Brave browser extension that adds checkboxes to each message in YouTube live chat pop-out windows. When a checkbox is checked, it applies a grey strikethrough effect to that message and all messages above it. Unchecking only affects the individual message.

Features

• Works with both YouTube live chat pop-out interfaces:
  • YouTube pop-out chat (youtube.com/live_chat)
  • YouTube Studio live chat (studio.youtube.com/live_chat)
• Adds a checkbox at the beginning of each chat message
• Checking a message's checkbox applies strikethrough styling to that message and all messages above it
• Unchecking a message's checkbox only removes the strikethrough effect from that specific message
• Automatically adds checkboxes to new messages as they appear
• Prevents checkboxes from triggering YouTube's context menu
