Highlights for YouTube

View highlights on the video player, that are generated from timestamps found in the description and top comments.

What is Highlights for YouTube?

'Highlights for YouTube' is a highly resourceful Chrome extension that presents relevant video highlights by fetching timestamps from the video descriptions and top comments. It enables users to effortlessly navigate through important segments of videos, eliminating the need to manually scroll through comments or descriptions. This feature might not be available for all videos as it is wholly reliant on the presence of timestamps. Further, the recent update now includes controls for moving between these highlights.

Why is this not a native feature of the YouTube UI?! Before this extension, only some Youtube videos show the highlights, but this fixes that once and for all. LOL
