Would it be possible to use an instance of a pop-out chat as the replacement of the original chat? #23

As the title says, I'm wondering why this extension went the route of a proxy chat instead of embedding an instance of the streamer's pop-out chat to replace the original chat window. I'm not sure how that would play with logging in and such. Perhaps the pop-out chat could not know about any cookies or something? Not sure how that works.

This might even allow an alt account just for the chats one is banned in. The same could work for streamers which block banned viewers from watching; using a new stream embed.

Basically, to support custom emotes: https://github.com/tmarenko/twitch_chat_antiban/issues/8

Initially, I used 3rd-party chats, but couldn't find something that looked good and also supported 7TV. I also tried to embed the original Twitch chat pop-out, but this approach shared cookies with the main page, leading to the same banned chat.
