If you want to reduce memory usage—especially during long livestream sessions—consider using "YouTube Boost Chat"
🧠 YouTube Super Fast Chat
🚀 Ultimate Performance Boost for YouTube Live Chats
📌 What Does This Userscript Do?
YouTube Super Fast Chat drastically improves the performance and responsiveness of YouTube's live chat interface (including live chat replay). By re-engineering how chat messages are processed, rendered, and displayed, it provides a much smoother experience, especially during high-volume streams or VOD replays.
✨ Highlights
- Zero-lag chat rendering even during fast-paced streams.
- Enhanced timestamp accuracy for live chat replays.
- Correct message & ticker ordering based strictly on message timestamps.
- Memory leak prevention for long sessions.
- Font pre-rendering to eliminate "pop-in" text.
- Visual stability fixes for tooltips, author chips, and menus.
🧰 Key Features
- 🧩 Advanced Chat Message Stamping – Significantly improves how quickly messages appear.
- ⏱️ Accurate Replay Timing – Fixes replay chat timestamp desync issues.
- 🔁 Timestamp-Sorted Rendering – Ensures chat messages and ticker items are displayed in proper chronological order.
- 🧼 Memory Leak Patches – Resolves known memory leaks in YouTube’s own ticker and timer handlers.
- 💬 Reduced Message Limit – Caps max rendered messages (default 90) for better performance.
- 🖼️ Optimized Thumbnails – Smaller author/emoji images to lower memory and CPU usage.
- 🧠 Smart Prefetching – DNS and resource preloading for smoother emoji/images loading.
- 🛑 Fixes Chat UI Glitches – Includes layout fixes, border bugs, tooltip overflows, and misaligned buttons.
- 🧱 Disables Inefficient Transforms – Removes YouTube’s unnecessary animations and
will-change properties.
- 📜 Refined Scroll Behavior – Ensures stable scrolling, proper anchor behavior, and fixes anchor jumping bugs.
- 🎯 Ticker Animation Engine – Custom-built CSS and JS for ticker (Super Chat/Membership) rendering and progress bars.
