Extension summary

Features:

  1. View the concentration of comments using opacity of displayed markers.
  2. View comments containing a particular timestamp.
  3. While playing the video, view comments with timestamps like a live chat replay.
  4. Customize the primary colour, block size of the markers.

To use Tempus, just make sure the extension has been installed and enabled in your browser. Then, you can head to any YouTube video, where the extension will collect timestamps from the comments and display them under the video progress bar.

The settings, which are accessible through the Tempus icon on the top-right of your browser, allow you to:

  1. Configure the block size of the marker (value can range between 1 and 20 seconds, default: 1)
  2. Toggle HeatMap markers (default: enabled)
  3. Toggle the comment live replay (default: disabled)
  4. Toggle the marker on-click commment view (default: enabled)
  5. Configure the primary colour for markers (default: #ffb347)

used to be good but outdated and kinda trash now
by Bedrock Edition, 2024-08-20

its fantastic when it works but more and more its just stuck on loading comments and the entre video is finished by the time it happens. not sure if its because of the amount of comments its processing or just that its broken but i rarely ever see this extension actually show up anymore. to the point i forgot i had it installed Once again a 3 is really harsh because when it works its really really good, but it just doesn't Edit: Changed to 4, this seems to a bug, refreshing the page the comments load after only a minute or so of waiting, even on videos with lots of comments. Dev is kindly still active and looking into it as per the Github.

It stopped working on the last few days EDIT: It got fixed. There are still good developers left. I only wish now that we could click on a timestamp without the video changing to that part. But everything else works perfectly.
