Features:

Hover over a comment to see its replies
Click the Comments icon in the video bar to toggle comments on/off
Click on a comment to open a new tab with that comment at the top of the comment section (useful for replying to comments)
Use your own YouTube Data API key (pin the extension to your toolbar and open the popup to access)

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 :(

Stops working randomly after a few days so I have to delete it and download it again other than that its great!

I love this extension. It works great; you can even toggle it on or off through the YouTube sidebar! The only thing I would ask for is to be able to like and reply to comments through the lil pop-up on the corner. Oh well, at least you can pull it up. Other than that, super well made and deserves more downloads :)

Sometimes its just too hard to read, I prefer comments floating from east to west on the screen
