works as it claims HOWEVER you can't mute/unmute or user some left side controls under the youtube video; so it will make using it difficult unless you don't care to use controls. hopefully it's fixed

this was almost a great addon, except I had 2 issues: - I want to always have comments sorted by Top Rated, this addon has some other sort, probably by Newest - the 'Dark Mode' option won't stay toggled, I have to turn it on for each video

Easy to use, great! Other plugins need a timestamp to display comments, this one doesn’t need
