Developer comments
NOTE: • Upon adding this add-on, please immediately go to about:addons and manually tweak the settings for it to start working. This feature is intentional and a reminder that this add-on is experimental. • Too many timestamps within a period of time (like image no. 1) can show too many comment overlays at once and make it hard to find the exact timestamp you want. I unfortunately can't do anything about it. • I highly recommend go full screen for timestamps and/or comment overlays that have long text (check image no. 2). • SponsorBlock is supported, though its segments could make it hard to find the timestamps. • Miniplayer will break this add-on... will fix it somehow (YouTube's SPA is finicky). • Because this add-on is using YouTube's internal API, there's no rate limit! A few YouTube-related add-ons and userscripts also use it, so it's legal and won't violate YouTube's ToS. • YouTube doesn't make it easy to just middle click and automatically scrolls down to view Highlighted comment, so open new tab is the best I can do. • If you want to like/reply a comment, please middle click to open it as a new tab. This add-on is already complex enough (T_T). • Timestamps and comment overlays with formatted text (bold, italic, strikethrough) are rendered as normal one. Sincerely sorry! • If you use custom YouTube theme, timestamps and comment overlays will still be either white/dark. • Does not work for shorts and livestreams (while they're live of course, not when they are videos). • YouTube's custom emojis aren't rendered as images (because YouTube treats Unicode and custom emojis as images) but as text. • Potentially duplicate comment overlays? Going back to a timestamp too many times or timestamp with too many comments can cause this bug. • Replies aren't shown because, from my experience, not that many people reply with timestamps.
TODO: Please check GitHub repo! (because developer comments have a character limit of 3000 and I can't fit all TODO here)
