Click on a comment to open a new tab with that comment at the top of the comment section (useful for replying to comments)

9/30/23 update: You must now create and enter your own YouTube Data API key. The extension will default to use my key but YouTube has cut down my quota drastically so the extension will probably not work if you don't use your own :(

Recent reviews

Sometimes there are multiple timestamps for the same moment, and occasionally the display duration of a timestamp prevents me from seeing others. For example, if I select a 4-second display duration, and there are two timestamps at 07:16 and 07:18, I can only see the first one on the screen. I would appreciate it if you could release an update that allows multiple timestamps to be displayed one below the other. Additionally, having the option to hide the toggle from the playback bar and control it via the extension icon would be a nice feature, as multiple extensions clash and cause confusion.
