Extension summary

Please use your own YouTube Data API key. The extension will default to use my API key but YouTube cut down my quota to 10k requests/day so it runs out very quickly every day and the extension will not work until it refreshes the next day:

How to create a YouTube API key: https://youtu.be/LLAZUTbc97I?si=_TKN98bfssMutEE5

Once you've created one, you can pin the extension to your toolbar and open the popup from there. There's a field to enter your API key in the popup.

Features:

Pause to persist a comment
Hover over a comment to see its replies
Click on a comment to open a new tab with that comment at the top of the comment section (useful for replying to comments)
