Youtube™ Actual Top Comments Extension

This extension provides a small popup window that lists all comments in the YouTube™ video by their number of likes, instead of using the \"Top Comments\" relevancy based algorithm that Youtube™ itself uses. It also provides a feature to search through all comments instead of being forced to wait for them all to load when you want to use Ctrl+F.

New: Alt+C is now a shortcut to open the extension!

TEX754 (ID: 000000145a544444) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/28/2024 It's an improvement over YouTube's default sorting, yet it's still inadequate. It fails to display responses to comments, has a small add-on window, and does not save uploaded comments, restarting from the beginning if the upload is interrupted.

Ndi (ID: 0000000221fa8d32) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 08/12/2023 API Key is not valid. Oh well.
