The banner

HyperChat by LiveTL
It may take a few seconds for messages to start appearing.
HyperChat can reduce CPU usage by up to 80%!
Don't forget to drop a 5-star review, share with your friends, join our Discord server, star the GitHub repository, and chip in a few dollars to help fund future projects (stay tuned)!
NEW IN v2.2.0: HyperChat's standalone settings menu is finally here! You can now easily toggle options like profile pictures, timestamps, usernames, badges, and color themes (inspired by Kiwawa having trouble with turning on dark mode).

is extremely bloated.

It takes half the chat's size on startup and is very unpleasant to see.
Capture
It's also very pointless, since people that have installed HC already know the following:

"HyperChat by LiveTL"
"It may take a few seconds for messages to start appearing."
"HyperChat can reduce CPU usage by up to 80%!"
"Don't forget to drop a 5-star review, share with your friends, join our Discord server, star the GitHub repository, and chip in a few dollars to help fund future projects (stay tuned)!"

This information is all well known when downloading from chrome/firefox store, and should only be written and seen once. We have no reason to download or install it if we don't know these elements, and having them shown on the store page is the only place where it matters. Instead, it bloats every single live chat on YT on every startup. This is plainly annoying and I thought it was a design decision that would be taken out as soon as v1 was done.

The only information that has a point is:
"NEW IN v2.2.0: HyperChat's standalone settings menu is finally here! You can now easily toggle options like profile pictures, timestamps, usernames, badges, and color themes (inspired by Kiwawa having trouble with turning on dark mode)."

And this is still bloated. It doesn't need an extra div in bright colours. BetterTTV used to have the following message on startup of every Twitch chat:

"Welcome to BetterTTV!"

And it was perfect.

Describe the solution you'd like

Remove entirely:

HyperChat by LiveTL
It may take a few seconds for messages to start appearing.
HyperChat can reduce CPU usage by up to 80%!
Don't forget to drop a 5-star review, share with your friends, join our Discord server, star the GitHub repository, and chip in a few dollars to help fund future projects (stay tuned)!

and the div/component that it is into.

Modify into simple plaintext:

NEW IN v2.2.0: HyperChat's standalone settings menu is finally here! You can now easily toggle options like profile pictures, timestamps, usernames, badges, and color themes (inspired by Kiwawa having trouble with turning on dark mode).

Into a simple text line, maybe coloured text:

"v2.2.0: new options for colours, badges, usernames, timestamps. Check the standalone settings menu on the top right."

This is more informative and will actually be read. I highly doubt that anyone reads the last 20% of text on this banner when 80% of it is things they already know about. People will simply skip it if they think the information is pointless to them.

A format of "version: upgrades" with only minimal information is best. People can and should go to the store page to find the details or in the new settings menu.

Expected behavior

The bloat will be removed and some blue text giving a short list of upgrades will be shown instead.

Describe alternatives you've considered

An option to either keep or remove the banner entirely would also work. Tick a box and the banner is never appearing again.

Anything else?
