Allows users to see timestamped comments as they watch YouTube
Timestamped YouTube Comments Extension
- Pause to persist a comment
- Hover over a comment to see its replies
- Click the Comments icon in the video bar to toggle comments on/off
- Click on a comment to open a new tab with that comment at the top of the comment section (useful for replying to comments)
- Use your own YouTube Data API key (pin the extension to your toolbar and open the popup to access)
9/30/23 update: You must now create and enter your own YouTube Data API key. The extension will default to use my key but YouTube has cut down my quota drastically so the extension will probably not work if you don't use your own :(
