Hi guys. So I logged on to Twitch today and noticed something unusual as I usually have my 7TV settings set to hide "Recommended Channels" and "Viewers Also Watch".
The "Hide Recommend Channels" and "Hide Viewers Also Watch" toggles were hiding the wrong parts of the sidebar. I noticed this when I couldn't find my Followed Channels in the sidebar unless I minimised it, as that shows the icons at least.
Probable Cause
I am 99% sure that this issue is due to the addition of Instagram-like stories to Twitch. I've never seen this before and saw that this is at the top of the sidebar now above Followed Channels and below the "For You" text / open and close sidebar toggle.
My gut feeling is that this has shifted all of the elements in the sidebar downwards down by one (not sure of a better way to phrase this) and that means that the hide toggles in the extension are probably targeting the wrong elements or the one directly above them.
Hoping this is an easy enough fix and also perhaps an opportunity to add in a "Hide Stories" toggle also, but I realise this is a big ask. It might be worth checking other toggles as well that may have been affected.
Is there an existing issue for this?
This issue exists in the latest nightly version
What browsers are you seeing the problem on?
Chrome
