## Review summary

Users find the add-on useful for searching YouTube comments and saving time when it works, and it has been a strong Firefox option. However, reliability is a major issue: frequent failures, crashes, and slow performance; incomplete functionality (no replies, no quick navigation); inconsistent filtering; and perceived neglect. Overall, it can be effective but is not dependable across videos or searches.

### Pros

- Saves time by helping me quickly find relevant YouTube comments.
- Works as advertised and returns matches when the extension is functioning.
- One of the few Firefox options for YouTube comment search, making it a go-to solution for Firefox users.
- The core search capability can find relevant comments even for vague terms.

### Cons

- Not working reliably: frequent errors like 'Ups, something went wrong' and periods of no results.
- Crashes and unstable performance, with slow/clunky loading in many cases.
- Does not show replies to found comments and cannot jump to or reply to them directly.
- Inconsistent filtering: sometimes highlights matches without narrowing results or shows 0 comments.
- Maintenance appears lacking, with reports of abandonment and outdated updates.
