Features & Capabilities

YCS - YouTube Comment Search (Continued) picks up where the original YCS left off, delivering fast, comprehensive search across comments, replies, chat replays, and video transcripts for the current YouTube video. Search by content, author, time, and more, with fuzzy and multilingual options, emoji search, and export of results. It works in incognito mode, supports unlimited loading, and offers time-stamped results, author-based filtering, and sorting by likes or replies. This version also includes fixes to loading, safer handling to prevent XSS, and performance improvements.

New capabilities include YouTube Shorts support, real-time live chat recording for live streams, and an optional YouTube Data API v3 integration as an alternative to Innertube. To use, open the video, load all data, enter a query, and browse results, including time-stamped entries and session exports. This extension emphasizes speed, security, and flexibility for researchers, educators, and power users who need to analyze YouTube video discussions across comments, replies, and chat.

User Reviews

YCS is a community-maintained tool that fills a missing YouTube feature by letting you search and filter comments. When it works, users praise its speed and utility and regard it as one of the best FF add-ons for this task. The main drawbacks are breakage after YouTube updates, conflicts with other extensions (PocketTube and Dark Reader) that cause loading/readability problems, and occasional comments-loading issues in certain setups. Overall, strong demand and ongoing maintenance keep it valuable for many users.

Pros

Works perfectly when functional and widely praised for enabling a needed YouTube feature (comment search/filter).
Ongoing maintenance and community-driven continuation after the original project's end.
Fills a missing YouTube capability by providing powerful search, sorting, and filtering of comments.
Regarded as one of the best Firefox add-ons for this task by users across languages.

Cons

Broke after YouTube updates; reliability is tied to YouTube changes and updates across multiple reports.
Conflicts with other extensions (e.g., PocketTube and Dark Reader) causing loading or readability issues.
Comment loading issues in some setups (e.g., transcript-only load or load-all failures).

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 (Continued) requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
