Roshank231 (ID: 00000099c88a9212) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/23/2023 its fantastic when it works but more and more its just stuck on loading comments and the entre video is finished by the time it happens. not sure if its because of the amount of comments its processing or just that its broken but i rarely ever see this extension actually show up anymore. to the point i forgot i had it installed Once again a 3 is really harsh because when it works its really really good, but it just doesn't Edit: Changed to 4, this seems to a bug, refreshing the page the comments load after only a minute or so of waiting, even on videos with lots of comments. Dev is kindly still active and looking into it as per the Github.

Facundo Zapata (ID: 0000000a3c9bcc72) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/25/2023 It stopped working on the last few days EDIT: It got fixed. There are still good developers left. I only wish now that we could click on a timestamp without the video changing to that part. But everything else works perfectly.

Nitin Nallagatla (ID: 000000530a1db4ca) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/04/2023 very useful for watching videos, whether for educational or comedic purposes, only flaw is that it is a bit slow on startup, but I suspect that that is out of the developer's hands. love it!
