Features -
1. Built for convenience with an eye for aesthetics. Unlike other similar options in the market, the sidebar comments don't feel out of place. They look nice and work well.
2. Dark & light modes depending on your YouTube settings.
3. Easy toggle integrated right into the comments section to easily switch between default and sidebar views.

- SM Park
- thank you. great extension, however it sometimes stops working. its like the page loads before the script can run. refreshing the page helps.

- Extension is good but there's a button to enable it. the button is under your video, where comments are. on top right of comments section(under video). it is a arrow that points to upper right. your welcome.
- Pedro Góes
- fantastic, and I love the design!
- Andrei Zhuk
- Good extention, would be even better and worth 5 stars if it had a "disable comments scrollbar" option.
- Marcel Mazur
- Elegant and easy to use. Just let people know where the enable button is when first installing please.

- YouTube comments not always show up on the right side, need to refresh YouTube page to show up the comments.
- Cmb
- It is very convenient when you can scroll comments next to the video. Thanks for the extension.
- amogus real
- Killer extension, only complaint i've got is it doesn't always show up on the side the first time (may require refreshing tab)
- Federico Bocchi
- This is the perfect solution to scroll comments while continue to watch videos! I always use the sidebar on videos with timestamps in the comments to skip beetween video chapters easily without the annoying "auto-return-to-the-top" at every click. Love it!
- Pus Grubbly
- I am profoundly computer illiterate, and thus I am very happy that this extension works perfectly and does exactly what I wanted. I just had to "restart" for it to work. Thank you for an excellent extension!
- Arush Gaur
- Request for the dev: As you've shown in the images for the screenshots of the extension usage, can you please add the option to resize the comments side bar width, currently it is quite small and not fully utilizing the screen real estate on pc/laptop.
- ToppyTopology
- This is amazing and honestly imo the cleanest implementation of a comment sidebar. Though could there be an option for the comment sidebar to automatically move depending on when you are at the top of the page and scrolling down?
- Aleksandar Zdravkovski
- Works great and looks better than the alternatives. However, the comments are truncated in the sidebar view. The only way to read the entire comment is to switch back to the default view which is not optimal.
- Huy Bac
- Amazing job, thanks for developping it
- Teneman Ibrahim Traoré
- ohh my.. you are the best man!
- David Prudhvi
- Actually YT changed the comments layout frm bottom to side and i thought yaah its a good change and one mrng they jus redo it to bottom , its so painful again to view comments in the bottom without watching the video .And this hero jus built this amazing thing fr free , even its a small change its a great one , thankyou sir for this and it works perfectly fine ,
- Prashanth Ganoji
- The extension is awesome and does the job as promised very well. The interface is very well incorporated into the Youtube UI with a very intuitive toggle. Request for the dev: can you please add the option to resize the comments side bar width, currently it is quite small and not fully utilizing the screen real estate on pc/laptop. If it is open source, you can share the code source so we can contribute as well.
- Дакфолз
- Please add the ability to toggle comments, chat in live, video chapters, description and recommended videos on the top right, then it will be 10/5!
- Lion Ton
- does not work now，pls fix it
- Bono1?
- This extension no longer works ever since they moved the sort by option to the far right, therefore blocking the button.
- Mendel Jedwab
- Perfect when it works, unfortunately it often simply does not show up. The button to change the position of the comment section is just not there
- Gareth Welch
- I really want to like this, but the fact it forces you out of theatre mode is a deal breaker for me. The whole reason I'd like the video and comments to be side by side is so I can glance between the two as needed whilst the video plays, but theatre mode or fullscreen is essential for viewing at higher resolutions.
- Jack Darrow
- so minimalist and clean looking also it helps to get more good experience while watching controversial video and commentary.
- Chamod Samarum
- Thank you. This is great. May I suggest you add a scroll bar... and perhaps a keyboard shortcut?

- Some time the switch button doesn't show up, I have to reload the page to see the switch button. Other than that, it works great. Thanks!

- Simply does what it says it does. Clean and no fuss. EDIT: Sometimes the extension won't load when you go into Youtube. Forcing you to refresh the page, or just downright open the video on a new window. Slight inconvenience, but still a useful extension.

- when it works, it's really good. but somehow when I open a video, usually the switch button isn't there until I reload the page. it's annoying when it happens.

- Works great! Move comments to the side with a toggle but down near where the comments normally are.
