BKs Space (ID: 0000007bfe274425) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/03/2022 This extension takes the most annoying part of Youtube and turns it into the best part, and if for some reason you actually want to read comments, it's togglable. Amazing.

Konrad W (ID: 0000004be19624eb) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/26/2022 Love it; perfect adjustment to YouTube comments. Can we have herp derp for Twitter too?

Yani (ID: 00000033bd8c13e1) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 04/13/2022 Been having issues for a long time now. Comments start mixing up between videos when browsing YT. I often have to refresh the page to read comments of the current video and to remove comments from previous videos being "remembered". I'd easily rate this 5 stars if this were fixed.
