Remy Wilson (ID: 000000964f97a84d) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 07/15/2023 Been going crazy for months at all of the dates on YouTube videos (particularly in the sidebar/recommended) being completely wrong. A new video might say it was published on Jan 4, 2021, for example. Had no idea it was this extension, which is completely busted due to not being updated. Some update on YouTube must conflict with whatever its doing, because as soon as I disabled this extension, dates displayed correctly again.

Stanislav Chumarin (ID: 000000c7a4bb31eb) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 07/11/2023 At the moment it shows correct date for playing video and for some videos in sidebar. I wish this extension could show exact dates for all channel videos tab and posts in community tab
