User Reviews

Users highly valued YCS - YouTube Comment Search for its ability to swiftly search YouTube comments, which was fundamental to their viewing experience. However, the add-on has recently stopped working, no longer loading comments and appearing abandoned with no updates from the developer. Multiple users note that the extension causes freezes in Firefox and exhibits trust issues due to unclear licensing and missing source code. While it worked reliably for years, many have been forced to seek alternatives or hope for a fix, with some recommending a continuation version called 'ycs-continued.'

Pros

Very useful for searching specific YouTube comments quickly.
Was fundamental and integral to users' workflow when watching YouTube videos.
Able to find answers to already asked questions and even shows comments censored by YouTube.
Worked reliably and effectively for years before issues arose.

Cons

The add-on has stopped working recently and no longer loads YouTube comments, only video transcripts.
It appears abandoned with no updates or fixes from the developer.
Unclear and inconsistent licensing information, with missing source code raising trust concerns.
Causes Firefox to freeze or crash with certain videos.
Temporary fixes like clearing cache only work briefly before issues return.

Is YCS - YouTube Comment Search Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

YCS - YouTube Comment Search requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
