en Works great! Any chance we could get a way to upvote comments from the extension?

en Works well, but I would've preferred to see the actual source code in the github repo: https://github.com/acs-reichelt/youtube-comment-reader

en In case Youtube interface language is not English, comments don't show the counter of likes if there are more than 999 of them

en Finally, found an alternative to YCS after it stopped working. Great extension! The only suggestion is it would be nice if it would open on YouTube video's page, instead of a new tab. UPD: Been using it since late April 2024, and now by June 2024 I can safely say that it doesn't always load all the comments for real. If a video has several thousands of comments, it'll load last ~500 comments at best and that's all. Still, since YSC is still not working, this is so far the best alternative.

en Does exactly what I need it to. Used to use Youtube comment search extension, but it stopped working. Someone recommended this one. I LOVE that it opens the comments in another tab. Quickly indexes and searches the comments!!

en Why not add in a feature to allow the downloading of comments into a spreadsheet? Is there a way to do this?

en pro tip: once you click the toolbar icon that opens the popup, you can press 'Enter' to open the search page. It's easier to keep my hand on my mouse and use my thumb to press the numpad Enter key. Although, an option to open the search interface somewhere on the youtube video page would be nice
