ytcFilter for Firefox

ytcFilter for Firefox is an extension designed to help you navigate through live chats of YouTube in a more efficient way. The tool comes as solution to overwhelming live chats where even slow mode restriction to only comment once every minute cannot fix a tiring a speedy chat.

The installation is typical for a Firefox extension and the add-on is only available when you are on YouTube at a live event that features a chat. While you can access it from the upper right corner, the extension rests on top of the chat, ready to capture the messages relevant to you.

As indicated after the first launch, before the tool can work, first you need to configure it from the Settings. To put it simply, you need to set up some filters to indicate what type of comment should be displayed in the dedicated box.

On a side note, the filters apply solely for the current video and, according to the developer, to other videos released by the same channel. To avoid wasting time creating new filters every time, you can create presets that you apply to the live streams you are watching.

The extension enables you to take screenshots or archive the content so that you can review it later on. The backups can be especially useful if the live chat included additional information on the topic or links relevant to the discussion. Depending on the amount of storage you have available, you can configure the tool to delete these backups at regular intervals.

In the eventuality that you enjoy live events and chats, but simply don't manage to reply or read the relevant comments, then ytcFilter for Firefox can help you sort it out.
