Sidesy: Your Comments Sidebar For YouTube by Abin John
Review by Scientist07
Rated 3 out of 5
by Scientist07, a year agoIt seems this add-on does not work well with tabs open in the background. I often browse youtube by opening vids in other tabs, then going to them when needed.
Doing that however, I see that this add-on does not load on those inactive tabs and comments are still on the bottom. The only way the addon works on those pages, is if I refresh the page.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Blibby, a year agoSidesy emerges as a savior from YouTube's layout blunder, adeptly relocating comments to the side of the video. This intuitive Firefox extension tackles the frustration of missing video content when scrolling down to engage with comments, a glaring oversight in YouTube's design. In the rare instance Sidesy requires a reset, a simple off-and-on toggle followed by a page refresh effortlessly does the trick. This minor troubleshooting step is a small price to pay for the seamless engagement Sidesy reinstates. Earning a stellar 5/5 rating, Sidesy is a must-have for those seeking a rich, uninterrupted YouTube viewing and engagement experience.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Ben Dover, a year agoSeriously amazing extension that completely elevates the youtube experience to another level. I don't think i would be able to go back to the old comments layout since i feel as if I miss too much of the video that is playing in the background while I'm scrolling down looking at the comments. The only thing i would like to be able to change is the width of the comments window (even though I'm not sure if its even possible), but with that being said its not such a big deal and i still love the extension. 100% would recommend to my grandma.

posted a year agoHey! I'm not sure if I get you right. Could you drop an email to builtbyabin@gmail.com or DM me on twitter (abinjohn.in/twitter)? Would love to learn more about the issue you're facing. - Rated 4 out of 5by relay, 2 years agoSometimes works, when it doesn't I have to refresh the page until it does. Otherwise, great.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Toastie, 2 years agoSimple and Neat, works perfectly.
Would be nice to have an option to both hide the movement button (keeping it to the plugin setting), and to have it move there by default instead of having to select it every time the YouTube page reloads.
All in all, great plugin!Developer response
posted 2 years agoThanks for the feedback! The 'memory' feature to set a default placement for the comments is in the works :) - Rated 3 out of 5by Re'soul, 2 years agoIt's nice if you're not in wide mode but i mainly watch videos in wide mode defeating the point of using it but still nice to have for when you're not in wide mode
- Rated 5 out of 5by compass, 2 years agoJust works, looks great. I'd like an option for it to just automatically be like this.
