About Twitch Category Change Notifier

23 Sept 2023: Twitch API has changed, this extension does not work at the moment and has to be adjusted. Don't like the current game a streamer is playing? Waiting for a streamer to finally start playing something? Missed another watch party because it was unannounced? Know when your favorite streamers are changing categories! Create alerts for your individual use case with this extension! You can also be notified when a streamer simply goes live (STREAMER changes from OFFLINE to ANY CATEGORY). Changelog: 1.0.3: Fixed an issue where the alert wasn't triggered 1.0.2: Improved reliability
