Jordan E (ID: 000000ad86aace24) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/13/2023 Thanks! I love this extension. Is there any possibility of adding the following feature or creating another extension that's for adding a video to a specified playlist, or to have it open the "add to x playlist" window via a keyboard shortcut for quickly showing this window without having to click?

Raphael (ID: 00000022c84ec2d3) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/11/2023 Oh l0hd!!!! This just saved me a TON of time. Mr. Developer, you deserve all the good the world can bestow upon you...! (I'll check if there is an easy and secure way to donate to you if you accept donations. Not into Paypal and such though... But I will try.)

Shanary Stewart (ID: 0000009f986741a6) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/12/2023 I've been looking for this for so long. Youtube has been making so many changes to make adding stuff harder behind multiple sub menus. This is a game changer.
