This extension changes YouNow history. First off, the IVC is great for those loud guests. I love turning down the drunks who talk over everyone else. Secondly, The grid view is pleasing when all your friend are in one stream and you can see every one equally. I no longer have to click other guests just to see what they're talking about :). I give this extension a 10/10. It is really improving YouNow
