| 2024-09-03 |  | | en | Killer extension, only complaint i've got is it doesn't always show up on the side the first time (may require refreshing tab) |
| 2024-09-02 |  | | en | 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! |

| 2024-08-09 |  | | en | I am profoundly computer illiterate, and thus I am very happy that this extension works perfectly and does exactly what I wanted. I just had to "restart" for it to work. Thank you for an excellent extension! |
| 2024-08-07 |  | | es | Una característica simple pero efectiva que hasta me deja intrigado sabiendo que YouTube decidió en vez de conservarla de esta forma; lo que hizo en su lugar fue quitarla cuando recien la vi en su momento, agradezco mucho de parte de quien haya creado esta extension! |

| 2024-07-28 |  | | en | Request for the dev: As you've shown in the images for the screenshots of the extension usage, can you please add the option to resize the comments side bar width, currently it is quite small and not fully utilizing the screen real estate on pc/laptop. |
| 2024-07-20 |  | | en | This is amazing and honestly imo the cleanest implementation of a comment sidebar. Though could there be an option for the comment sidebar to automatically move depending on when you are at the top of the page and scrolling down? |
| 2024-06-21 |  | | en | Works great and looks better than the alternatives. However, the comments are truncated in the sidebar view. The only way to read the entire comment is to switch back to the default view which is not optimal. |
