- (2025-06-20) TrikeTomGoogle: Expansion does not work. Search input does not appear under the videos.
- (2025-05-28) K. Péter: Works well, but comments should 'work' like in the original comment section, so comments should be: - likeable - replyable - reportable I know, clicking on comments' date will navigate me there, but that will open another tab where the comment is on the top...
- (2025-05-25) Riq W.: Amazing! After it got discontinued I started to use YCF but after I wanted to install YCS one more time I encountered a separate but updated version of the extension and I can't be more grateful for this, thx! UPDATE 1: Later this afternoon I was watching some videos when I noticed that the comment search tab was missing, when I tried to fix it by reinstalling it it was still missing. What's going on guys? Please fix this issue UPDATE 2: Whenever I first enter YouTube after booting my computer I have to reload the first YT video I watch so the comment searcher's UI looks right

- (2024-09-16) João Vitor: Perfeita! / This is just perfect!
- (2024-09-10) Mike: Thanks dev for making this! Works fine for me on Brave browser. If you're having trouble then it may be conflicting with another extension. I've had that happen to me for various extensions through the years.

- (2024-08-08) Ahmed Mohamedeen: Aug 8. Extension works again. Can we act like humans and stop review-bombing such extension that is supposed to break very often given how frequently Youtube changes thing up? The extension has an official github that is being monitored and is used for issue tracking. At least if you do that come back and update your review.
