I built a Chrome extension that puts a fake Twitch chat on every website
Probably the dumbest thing I've ever shipped: Fake Twitch Chat.
It reads whatever page you're on and spawns a fake Twitch-style chat in the sidebar that reacts to it.
Read a news article and get flamed for your bad taste. Open your CV and let chat debate your life choices. Scroll Reddit and watch KEKW rain down on every post.
You pick mode (hyped, toxic, wholesome, etc.), tier, and intensity. Free tier runs on a hardcoded message pool with no API at all. Standard and Turbo use Claude Haiku or GPT-4o mini.
It's BYOK, so your key and the page data go straight to the provider you choose. No middleman.
You can set your own streamer name and interact with the chat. On Turbo tier the chatters spend about 30% of their output talking to each other, the rest reacts to your page.
Manifest V3 with host_permissions locked to Anthropic, OpenAI, and api.betterttv.net (for the emotes). Consent gate shows exactly what gets sent the first time you enable it on a site. Whitelist mode and custom blocklist if you want to be extra paranoid.
Sensitive sites (email, banking, password managers, .gov, .bank) blocked by default.
I'd love to hear your thoughts and get inspiration for future updates.
