Features ✨

• Receive notifications when you are mentioned in Twitch chats 🔔

• Notifies when you are mentioned with "@" and also without, so both "@JohnDoe" and "JohnDoe", for example, will activate notifications 💬

• The matching is case-insensitive, meaning that it will work regardless of whether the mention is in uppercase or lowercase, so "@johndoe" or "JoHNdOe" will work ⌨️

• Click on the notification to open the mentioned chat in a new browser tab 📢

• 20-second cooldown between each new notification, to prevent spam 🕒
