Создает базу полных текстов на основе закладок браузера и, на выбор, по истории посещения. Если у вас много интересных закладок, то получается свой небольшой гугл. Аннотации это не основной функционал, как я понял.

There are a lot of valuable UX. But their determination to block you from using Youtube easily is so Annoying. they need to provide "X" button to close your widget screens at ALL times. You can't lock the user into your interface that does not allowyou to use anything. No idea how to close this widget. The only way is to uninstall
