YouTube Live Chat Resurrection fixes one of the most annoying bugs on YouTube livestreams —
when you open a live for the first time after starting your browser, and the chat just refuses to show up.
No amount of clicking helps… until you manually refresh (I know it doesn't help at all too lol)

This script does that refresh for you — automatically, just once — but it also forces the live chat to appear correctly on every stream afterward.
No more waiting, no more broken chats. Just instant live chat every time, finally.

Why I Made This?

Because YouTube sometimes acts like it forgot people actually use the chat.
It’s so annoying, when you just want to watch a live show or comment right away, it ruins the experience.
So this tiny script quietly fixes that one job YouTube can’t seem to handle itself

No need to credit me, take it however you want, improve it if you can.

I tested it on Opera so it might not work with other browsers (but Brave works too)
