Its time to update rating. Extension stop working. I tryed all methods with help of AI to resolve 152 error. Not possible. Only totally rewriting extension is possible. Google broke youtube for many extensions using iframes. Only rewriting extension will help. No author of extension = useless extension.

This looks like it's probably a great extension, but I just can't get it to work. I tried it in different tabs, on different videos, with my other extensions turned off, and with various different settings, but as far as I can tell, it's not doing anything...

It works fine when navigating vidoes of a channel and on sidebar, whoever it doesn't work on homepage and after searching for something. I love it when it works, but can't give it more than 3 stars
