Extension summary

This is a quick attempt to provide an option that google/youtube does not - automatically showing comments in chronological order. This is basically a workaround that simply clicks the dropdown automatically so you don't have to. It is not very 'smart' in its current state but if enough interest is shown I might work on making it better.

update 3/29/15

Yes, this is still being maintained. I appreciate your patience as I do not always notice right away when a major change to youtube breaks functionality.
