Laura Timmel (ID: 000000274a3e0d09) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 09/16/2020 Needs to be updated. YouTube now shows the published date (and view count) for most videos in the sidebar, and with this extension enabled, the date is just duplicated--for example, "1 year ago ¶ 1 year ago." For recommended videos, however, YouTube replaces the published date and view count with the text "Recommended for you." For these videos, this extension adds a new line with the video's full name followed by "ago," so you end up with "Recommended for you ¶ My New Puppy ago." If this extension could show published date (and view count?) for recommended videos, that would be awesome. In the meantime, however, it's just not working. _____ Original review: I'd been wanting this feature for so long! Great extension, and it seems to be working perfectly in most places. Playlist pages (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=playlist id) do not seem to be supported--I'd love to see them added. That would make this 5* for me.
