Why delete the 3rd tab?! Coments/Other Video/DESCRIPTION

T W 2025-07-14

2025. 07. 14. Hi, have big problem. Recently, YouTube added an annoying new section called "LIST" to the right sidebar. Your extension used to work perfectly—it allowed us to show or hide the two original tabs (Comments and Video), and even set one as the default tab. Everything worked fine before the "LIST" tab appeared. But now, with this new addition, your extension treats it as a third tab (Comments, Video, and LIST). The problem is that no matter what we choose as the default tab—whether Comments or Video—it always forces the default to be "LIST". Please fix this issue as soon as possible. Thank you.

Before Youtube messed around with their code, i could have the description box on the side as well as the comments and videos. Is there way to get it back? That would make it 5 stars

This was the best extension ever! Scroll to adjust volume, click the comments tab to see the comments and also! Click videos to see more videos

I Gede Angga Narotama 2024-07-09

To people that facing refresh page problems, just turn off the info tabs, and only checks the videos and comments tab.

很好用,很方便 very useful! 2024.06.14 有時候開啟yt會空白,麻煩請更新,感謝!

Nico Calitz 2024-06-05

Any plans to fix the issue everyone's been having? I love the layout, and this is the only extension that can do it (from what I could find), but it's a real pain having to refresh each new video to have the UI show up. It worked fine before (months ago), but it's been broken for quite a while now.

Aome Art 2024-03-23

Great Extension but won't work unless you refresh the page. It's a pain to do it in every single video.

Miyavsu HorHor 2024-02-22

Is it possible to update the application? When I click on a video, the comments and information section does not load at all. I have to refresh the page a second time every time to fix it. It's been like this for a long time. Other than this problem, I enjoy using it.

Mekbib Tarekegn 2024-02-16

The only con is that sometimes you have to refresh the page to make it work the first time, other than that it's pretty good

Please fix. Comments and other features don't load anymore unless I refresh the page. Very annoying to have to do this with every new video I watch. Disabling until fixed.

Bad experience recently where comments do not load always without refresh of page. It is very annoying. I will remove comment when fixed.

ayuxx 2024-01-07

I really like this extension, but lately it's been really buggy. About half the time, it just doesn't load anything. The page is blank except for the video itself and requires a refresh. editing to add: it seems to not load anything other than the video when you open a video in the same tab as the search results. It works fine when opening in a new tab, otherwise it needs a refresh.

by far the best implementation of the sidebar feature

Comment Tab is very buggy. No comments are displayed and I have to refresh the Tab just to see comments. Very annoying.

CraZzZy Boy 2023-12-13

I don't wanna have the video description in the "info" section. I want it at the bottom. It's annoying when watching a livestream. Change that.

Mohit Sahni 2023-12-13

everytime new video is loaded from new tab it goes to 25% volume everytime please fix it.

Hi, it seems that the comment tab is bugged out atm. Can you have a look at this? Thank you for your app!

info tab is busted

GhostShadow Chen 2023-12-03

it's good before but one day the info page just shows nothing then when it fixed, the info page background is brightly white even I'm in dark mode hope there'll be a fix

Kun Deng 2023-12-02

please create a volume mouse thing as a global default. I need to disable it because it interferes with other plugins and I have to manually turn it off every single time.

This extension is too good but suddenly the info section is not working please fix it

Joe Stark 2023-11-05

Sept- 2019 Lo que buscaba. Subir y bajar volumen con la rueda del ratón. Nov 2023- Ha cambiado la página de youtube y ahora no funciona lo que era la pestaña INFO, he visto en el menu de la aplicación que la versión que tengo es la V1.6.2 mientras que en Chrome web store indica que la versión actual es la v 1.7.1 , no me aparecía como actualizar, probé a instalar y desinstalar pero sigue apareciendo versión 1.6.2 La función de variar volumen con la rueda del raton siempre cambia de 5 en 5 aunque lo cambie en el menú y refesque la página, o cierre y abra el navegador.

EDIT : Since a few days, the "info" tab doesn't work anymore, it stays blank ... can you fix it ? Best YouTube extension I've installed in a long time ! It does exactly what it says, nothing less, nothing more, super easy to use, super usefull (I wonder why it's not even the default YouTube configuration), it's not intrusive, perfect !

Sería genial que la barrita de scroll no se vea para que se luzca mas estetico, gracias!
