Extension summary

I always open the transcript sidebar on YouTube while watching videos, and it gets tedious to select the menu and click "Show transcript" on each video. For whatever reason there is no built-in option to always show transcript, so if you are in the same situation, this extension automatically opens the transcript sidebar on YouTube.

it stopped working....

☹️ Used to work great. Now it still displays the transcript but as the video plays it does not highlight the current text and clicking on the transcript text no longer advances the video to that point. It has lost all value for me.
