Recommended Categories still shown even though setting is set to OFF

Describe the bug

Hello,

this is my first time using Github so I hope I provided all of the information which is needed, also, I tried to search via google but couldnt find a solution, maybe because I am from germany and dont really know what keywords I need to search for.

Steps to reproduce

This is my Twitch default landing page and the Categories are shown for me https://www.twitch.tv/directory

Expected behavior

That the Categories are not shown with the Setting set as shown on the screenshots.

Happens to me too. But after navigating around a bit it seems to take effect. So on initial load of the website the Recommended Categories appears in the sidebar. Visiting a particular stream may make it disappear, or it might not change anything. But then visiting another stream seems to make it disappear. Sometimes it takes two or three navigation actions but it always seems to go away after a while.

Looks to me like, with regard to Recommended Channels, this entire piece of code needs to be revamped and reimplemented: https://github.com/night/betterttv/blob/7.6.17/src/modules/hide_sidebar_elements/index.js -- and yes, I am linking the whole file because the issue isn't specific to just one particular set of lines.

There is no provider-sidenav-recommended-categories-default-1 -- maybe there was at some point in the past on Twitch's site, but there isn't now.

The way this SHOULD be working is to key off of div property aria-label="Recommended Categories", and if there's a match (and the toggle is off), hide it (I believe this is accomplished by addition of class bttv-styles-module__hide-w_k1T (or whatever its name is from compile-time). I've manually tested/confirmed this works.

The same needs to be done for other features, e.g. aria-label="Live Channels" and so on. The whole thing just needs to be revamped due to all of Twitch's changes.

If someone wants a quick uBlock Origin or Brave Shields userscript hack that can work around this GH issue, I can provide one; just ask.

I've been having this same issue. I mostly watch Twitch on desktop on Chrome (idk why) and I have tried checking and unchecking the box multiple times and refreshing the page and the recommended categories section is still there in the sidebar.

I see this is still an issue and hopefully a fix comes in the new year 😄

for me its some channels show it some channels dont, its very odd
