Small mark if chapter uploader changed inbetween chapters

As the update section only shows the most recent chapters, it can become quite hard to notice when there is a change, like when a random snipes the series without warning.

For that, I propose the following:
If the group between this and the previous upload differ, add a slight mark on the updates screen to show that.

It would discourage snipers, as their act would be more obvious while not be harmful for takeovers of either abandoned series or with consent.

Also would be pretty simple to implement, something like:
If(thisChapter.uploaderName != any.of(previousChapter.uploaderName) => applyMark();

Would that apply even to alternate versions of old chapters?
Like I've done myself in the past, some people fix really poor translations of and your solution appears to mark them too.

Yeah, it would if it is the first instance of them doing that.
The mark mostly should notify that the update isn't a new chapter by the usual translator, not something working as a filter, as there can be many reasons for doing so, but mostly as a hint that the user can do whatever with.
