ce ce (ID: 0000005c83387c66) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/06/2021 works as it claims HOWEVER you can't mute/unmute or user some left side controls under the youtube video; so it will make using it difficult unless you don't care to use controls. hopefully it's fixed

Dr. House (ID: 000000255d9e6c4b) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/28/2021 this was almost a great addon, except I had 2 issues: - I want to always have comments sorted by Top Rated, this addon has some other sort, probably by Newest - the 'Dark Mode' option won't stay toggled, I have to turn it on for each video

Chris Vydas (ID: 000000a1b7cc9ce4) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/05/2021 Good but causes issues interacting with YouTube when enabled. Cannot use end screen and a few other problems I can't think of at the moment, uninstalled.
