- Rated 4 out of 5by Jojken, 3 months agoGreat continuation! However I can not make it to work correctly with the Dark Reader extension. For some reason the black button text on the grey buttons change to white text on white buttons so you can´t read them.

- Rated 4 out of 5by ae555, 4 months agoDoesn't handle whitespace. Searching for "pro" returns comments that contain standalone instances of "pro" but also any comment containing a string with pro in it, like "pronounce" or "product." That's fine, but then if I search for "pro " with a space after pro, I get the exact same results.
Also, and this is not a big deal, it highlights substrings that are one character shorter than what you type in. So when I searched for "pro" it for some reason highlighted any instances of "pr" in the comment. Note that this doesn't actually affect which comments are returned, it's just a highlighting issue. So if you search for "pro" and a comment said "practice profiling perps," it would show up as a search result, and the pr in practice and the pr in profiling would be highlighted. But if a comment said "practice running," it would not show up as a result, so that's good.
Edit: thank you for the response! If I click "extended search" then searching using whitespace (in quotes) does indeed yield the correct results. As noted in that github thread, it no longer highlights the identified string in the comments when extended search is checked, but that's no big deal. Also the issue I mentioned with it highlighting a string that's one character shorter than the string searched for is not happening today, so that's cool.Developer response
posted 4 months agoThe searching/highlighting behaviors you mentioned were introduced in the original YCS extension.
I know it's kind of unintuitive, but the original author might have thought it through.
So I tend to leave it as it is for now.
For further explanation about the behavior, please visit the issue comment below:

- Rated 5 out of 5by itr, 5 months agoThank you for continuing this addon, it didn't work at first, then I discovered it seems to conflict in some way with PocketTube extension, it won't load comments when PT is enabled, but disabling it fixes the issue. Any chance of looking into this? I'd like to use both simultaneously.
Developer response
posted 5 months agoBoth PocketTube extensions seem to modify an important global data variable referenced by many YouTube-related extensions. Somehow, this only happens in Firefox (I guess the author might not even know).
As a result, YCS extension can't retrieve the required config data to make proper comments fetching requests to YouTube.
I'll see what I can do in YCS to preserve or regenerate the required data. - Rated 5 out of 5by Rujin parker, 5 months agoThankyou Dev, for raising it from the ashes!
it still have it's issues but at the very least I can take a backup all the comments again! thank you! - Rated 3 out of 5by wpng, 5 months agofor some reason im only getting the ability to load the transcript. comments themselves are not loading no matter how many times i press load all or reload :/
- Rated 5 out of 5by Anexzs, 5 months agoIt works but I am pretty sure this is a culprit for causing the browser to freeze at times.
Update: Works flawlessly.Developer response
posted 5 months agoThe browser freezing issue caused by loading many comments in the cache is resolved in the updated version 1.3.1. Please try it and see if the issue still occurs. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 10447271, 5 months ago
