Click the import names button below the table and Either
  1) Paste an exported list of names and click import button.
  2) Type one trolls username verbatim per line and then click the import button.

RELEASE NOTES

RELEASE 1.5 **********  9/9/16
  * Add import and export functionality for troll names.  Just encase each name in single quotes for import. ie Name 1 Name 2 Name 3
  * made the 'clear chat' button a little prettier.

RELEASE 1.6 **********  9/12/16
  * There was an import and export bug involving  regex with quotes. I removed the extra complexity and no encasing quotes or escaping single quotes are needed anymore. For importing, simply put one username per line without unnecessary spaces at the end of a line.


RELEASE 1.7 **********  12/6/16
  * Added the ability to expand and collapse the Troll Blocker table. If the table is collapsed and the user drags a trolls icon, as they normally would, the table will automatically open until. If the user drops the icon in the correct location, then the table will return to the collapsed state. If the user drops the icon in the wrong location, then the table will remain open.

RELEASE 1.8.3 **********  1/26/18
  * restyled the css with css grid styling and fixed things that youtube broke with their updates to their chatroom.
  Temporary Release to fix larger problems.
  Known Bugs:
  1) Beyond +1000 troll names the names overflow in the first column. That is a CSS problem that chrome has to resolve resolve soon on its own.
  2) After clicking 'Clear Chat' the following messages appear shakey or just appear only one at a time or just weird in general. That is because Chrome is using javascript behind the scenes to determine where the bottom of the chatroom is and to try and position itself to be at the bottom of it. Chrome Extensions con not access native javascript on a web page by their very nature. So until they Youtube stops doing weird calculations behind the scenes, there is not much I can do at the moment.
  3) Do not use extra spacing or unnecessary blank lines when importing troll channel names otherwise those lines or the previous lines will understand it as the wrong username and wont block it correctly.
 
RELEASE 1.84 **********  2/1/18
  * removed outline from Clear Chat Button
  * capitalized first letter of all words
  * Remove  from 'Name' header on import
  * Filter out paid comments of trolls
  * On load, decrease the amount of bulk imported from 50 -> 25 and increase the amount of time to lapse so that the video doesnt decrease in quality and decreases the lagging on the chatbox.
