Highlights for YouTube

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

Highlights for YouTube is a Chrome extension that enhances your video watching experience by displaying important highlights directly on the video player. These highlights are generated from timestamps found in the video's description and top comments, allowing you to quickly navigate through chapters or interesting moments without having to scroll through the video's comment or description sections. With added controls for easy navigation between highlights, this extension streamlines your viewing and helps you easily find key parts of videos.

Please note that not all videos will have highlights, as they depend on available timestamps. Users can toggle the highlights on or off directly from the video player options, providing a seamless and customizable experience. This tool is perfect for YouTube viewers looking to save time and get to the most relevant parts of their videos quickly.

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
