Highlights for YouTube Extension

UPDATE: Added controls for navigating between highlights.

See chapters or interesting moments without the need to scroll to the comment/description section. You can toggle the highlights directly from the video player options.

Note: Not all videos will have highlights on them since they are generated from timestamps. Feedback is greatly appreciated!

Shadowslayer733 (ID: 000000b9a6b0fa83) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/15/2022 I use this extension because for some reason the youtube timestamp chapters arent showing up on some videos I watch, which is really annoying. I think this extension is a great substitute. The title of the chapter shows up and you can even skip to the next chapter which is awesome. The only thing I dont like is the yellow lines, they are a bit confusing to me, why cant it just be in sections like in the real youtube chapters feature? All I want to see is the exact point the chapter starts, and the exact point the next chapter starts, instead of weird yellow lines across the bar. There should also be an option to only show "highlights" from the description, not from the comments because I could care less about the comments
