Return YouTube Comment Username

This script replaces the "handle" in the YouTube comments section to user name

Return YouTube Comment Username Extension

The "Return YouTube Comment Username" Chrome extension enhances your YouTube commenting experience by restoring traditional usernames in place of the new handle format. Due to recent changes by YouTube, comments now show user IDs prefixed with '@', making it harder to identify users. This extension resolves this issue by allowing you to replace '@handle' with the conventional username display.

Key Features:

Replace '@handle' with the original username format.
Customize the display format to show comments as either "@handle (Username)" or "Username (@handle)".
Easy to use and seamlessly integrates into your YouTube experience.
