I found out it only works if you are not logged in with an account on youtube.

Doesn't Work on Brave. Tried with the shield off, tried with all extensions deactivated, even tried with my antivirus off. It simply doesn't work. It works on firefox though... but I use Brave.

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 *From the following update on I'll be editing my review to match the users' issue* UPDATE 3 (Oct 6th 2025): It stopped working today this evening, what's going on guys? I already cleared cache, reloaded the website, and nothing...

I love the idea of this, but we should be able to like and reply to the comments we search.
