What is Return YouTube Comment Username?
"Return YouTube Comment Username" is a Chrome extension that brings back the classic username format in the YouTube comments section. With YouTube's update, traditional usernames were hidden, replaced by user IDs starting with @, known as 'handles'. This extension allows you to see traditional usernames again in the video comments section, community comments section, and the comments section of the top notification. Bugs report or issues can be submitted on its Github page.
