YouTube Word Searcher Extension

This extension can help you search for words in YouTube videos and jump directly to the respective timestamp in the video.

A button will appear above YouTube videos, and if you click it, you will get access to a search input.

There is an autosearch feature that enables you to set words to be searched on every page, which if found will trigger the extension to notify you (by changing the YWS button to green).

NOTE: The button is hidden in cinema mode. There is no room for it, and so it just hides.

New in version 2.0: Non english videos are now supported.

Brian Smith (ID: 000000f09334a708) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/25/2022 Thank you, but button is very colorful. It is distracting, would you please make the transparency 40-60%
