Killer extension, only complaint i've got is it doesn't always show up on the side the first time (may require refreshing tab)

This is the perfect solution to scroll comments while continue to watch videos! I always use the sidebar on videos with timestamps in the comments to skip beetween video chapters easily without the annoying "auto-return-to-the-top" at every click. Love it!
