en 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

I use this extension because for some reason the youtube timestamp chapters arent showing up on some videos I watch, which is really annoying. I think this extension is a great substitute. The title of the chapter shows up and you can even skip to the next chapter which is awesome. The only thing I dont like is the yellow lines, they are a bit confusing to me, why cant it just be in sections like in the real youtube chapters feature? All I want to see is the exact point the chapter starts, and the exact point the next chapter starts, instead of weird yellow lines across the bar. There should also be an option to only show "highlights" from the description, not from the comments because I could care less about the comments

I have found 1 video where it worked - however, on most videos, even those with timestamps in the description, does not work. E.g. it doesn't work with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eNSWZ4x2ZU
