About this extension
OPEN SOURCE
This extension moves the comments to the right side of the YouTube video, making it possible to read comments and watch the video simultaneously. It will automatically hide the recommendations, so it will be harder to get trapped in a mindless video consumption loop. The descriptions is automatically expanded for convenience.
Options:
- toggle youtube comment sidebar
- expand descriptions (only works when 1st options is enabled)
- hide recommended videos (only works when 1st options is enabled)
The default shortcut is Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + Y, but can be changed in Firefox in about:addons. Can also be toggled by clicking the extension, and then clicking the slider button. Works for light and dark mode.
NOTE: screenshots have everything with square edges (video, buttons, profile pictures) - this isn't done using RSC, it's done using a UBlock Origin filter. Some changes in the screenshots are done by other extensions, this extension only moves comments, removes recommendations and expands the description.
