Geroyuni (ID: 000000ed9beab3a8) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/27/2023 Good extension, I'm surprised this extension is not used more. It does have some room for polishing. If a song doesn't have lyrics in YouTube Music, the Genius stuff will put itself into the 'up next' section, and it looks messy. It might also have been nice to get a dark mode version of Genius given YTM itself is dark themed, but I get this is a bit of a potential maintenance rabbit hole. Edit: Well, I'm currently observing this page giving an error 'Oops! An error occurred - Sorry, we didn't mean for that to happen!' a few seconds after opening the lyrics section. This makes the extension unusable for me. Something in the console about "DOMException: Failed to execute 'removeChild' on 'Node': The node to be removed is not a child of this node". Doesn't seem to be my other extensions. I'm not super attached to this extension to troubleshoot it further. This may not be widespread and other people may have no issues with the extension, but I'm lowering my rating just out of my personal experience.
