Extension summary

Analyze keywords

When viewing a YouTube music video, YouTube Genius will inject a clickable "Genius" button next to the voting buttons. When the Genius button is clicked, the user's browser will be populated with a new tab that will have the genius.com lyric and annotation information.

Alternatively, the user can select to populate a new window with the genius.com lyric and annotation content via the settings menu. The new window will appear side by side with the YouTube video (split screen) for easy lyric viewing while still enjoying the music video! To access the settings menu, simply just click the icon for the browser action (next to the URL bar).

**NEW Lyrics can be displayed on the YouTube page now! The lyric content will replace the comment section and a popup will be used for annotation text display
