posted 9 months agoThanks for reporting this! 🙏 The issue was caused by the extension not handling non-English browser languages correctly. This has been fixed in v1.0.8, and comments should now load properly. I really appreciate you bringing this to my attention!

- Rated 5 out of 5by eretat, 2 days agoHave been using the add-on for a while now and have really appreciated the UI overhaul update done a little while back, makes it much more cohesive with YouTube's design language.
However, although it's already quite nice, it can look a bit busy on the top of the interface with three rows of buttons and also distracting on the bottom with the motion of the bar loading comments as you’re trying to watch the video.
My sole use for the add-on is to be able to see the actual top comments on a video since YouTube unfortunately chooses to algorithmise the process. With this use-case in mind, to have a more stripped down/minimal layout that I and others alike could opt into with perhaps only the settings and sort by notches would make this add-on perfect.
My ideal layout would be all three rows removed and to have the notches live at the top of the interface next to the chevron. I think making the search bar a dropdown rather than being a static input field could help reduce space as well. The comment loader could also just be a far smaller icon that could work into the top of the interface so that there aren’t any icons living at the bottom.
Again, I want to thank you for the work done so far on this project! I hope you take my suggestions into consideration but even if not this already stands as a fantastic solution to viewing comments on YouTube.Developer response
posted 2 days agoThank you for writing such a detailed review. I am really glad you're enjoying the add-on.
I completely agree with your suggestions regarding the UI. Right from the start, the design has bugged me, especially the Search tab header, which feels far too cluttered.
I’ve been working on a way to let users toggle off specific features to clean things up. However, getting the execution right is taking a little extra time, as I want it to feel seamless for both casual users and power users like yourself.
I also appreciate your feedback about the progress bar distracting from the video. While that hasn't been an issue for me personally, the fact that it bothers you means it's likely an issue for others as well. I will definitely address it.
Moving forward, my goal is to give users complete control over which features they want to disable or hide. With so many features now available (hence the "kit" in the extension's name) I want to make sure the add-on doesn't overwhelm people who only care about a single tool. - Rated 5 out of 5by h77, a month ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by iG0R, 3 months agoGreat add-on and very handy!
And one of the most important things is that it is developed by a responsive author who listens to the wishes of users. - Rated 5 out of 5by BarrelFerret, 8 months agoVery helpful! Much more efficient than using Ctrl+F to look for specific keywords in comments.
EDIT: After using this for a bit, it would be helpful if I could disable the names of users appearing in the search, and sort out replies/parent comments. Otherwise, still an amazing add-on! This really should have more downloads.Developer response
posted 5 months agoHi, thanks for the feedback and the support!
Version 1.1.0 includes a toggle to hide usernames, avatars, and comment actions for a more compact view. This version also features filters to specifically sort and filter by parent comments or replies, making it easier to organize the results.
Glad the extension is proving useful! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 10447271, 9 months ago
