Kick View Count Hider

Kick View Count Hider A simple Chrome extension that hides view counts across kick.com, including stream pages, the browse and directory pages, and the followed channels sidebar. Why this exists If you stream on Kick, you know the feeling. You're mid-broadcast, things are going well, and then your eyes drift to the viewer number. It ticks down by two. You start wondering what you did wrong. Did the last joke land flat? Is the game boring? Should you switch categories? Suddenly you're performing for a counter instead of having fun with the people who are actually there. Watching your view count in real time is one of the quickest ways to mess with your own head as a streamer. It turns a creative outlet into a scoreboard, and it can pull you out of the moment with your chat, the people who actually showed up to hang out. It can breed anxiety, imposter syndrome, and the urge to chase whatever you think the algorithm wants instead of doing what you actually enjoy. This extension takes the number away. Your stream still runs. Your chat still works. Your viewers are still there. You just don't have to stare at a running count of them while you're trying to create. What it does Hides view counts everywhere they show up on kick.com: The viewer count on the stream page itself Viewer numbers on channel cards in the browse and directory pages Counts in the followed channels sidebar A toolbar toggle lets you turn it on and off instantly. Useful if you ever need to check numbers after a stream, or if you want to flip it off for a second and back on. How it works Two layers of hiding, because Kick's site markup changes from time to time. A stylesheet catches obvious targets (elements labeled as viewer counts in the HTML), and a small script watches the page for anything that looks like a viewer number and hides its container. Because Kick is a single-page app that swaps content without reloading, the script keeps watching as you navigate between streams and pages. Elements are hidden with visibility: hidden rather than removed from the page, so nothing in Kick's layout breaks or shifts around. Privacy No tracking. No analytics. No external servers. The only permission it uses is storage, and only to remember whether you have it toggled on or off. Nothing leaves your browser. Note: This is a visual hide. The numbers still load in the background, they just don't show up on screen. Made for streamers who want to focus on the stream, not the scoreboard.
