YouScroll — Scroll Comments & Up Next Independently

Description

Scroll YouTube comments and Up Next independently beside the video without moving the page. App-like YouTube, one feature at a time. Scroll Comments and Up Next without losing the video. YouTube puts comments below the player, in the same scroll as everything else, and its recommendations move with the page too. YouScroll brings both into a full-height, tabbed panel in the right-hand column. Each pane scrolls on its own, and the player stays exactly where it is. It is a small extension on purpose. No account, no sign-in, no analytics, and no network requests of its own. It runs on youtube.com and has access to nothing else. HOW IT WORKS 1. Install it and open any YouTube watch page. 2. The right-hand column is now a full-height panel with two tabs: Comments and Up Next. It opens on Up Next, so nothing you had before has moved. 3. Click Comments. They are beside the video instead of below it. 4. Scroll either pane. The video does not move, and YouTube keeps loading more comments as you reach the bottom of Comments. 5. If you would rather it opened on Comments, set that in the toolbar popup and every watch page starts there. CORE FEATURES - Pinned comments panel: the comments move into the right-hand column as a sticky, full-height pane that scrolls independently of the page. - Tabbed right column: Comments and Up Next are one click apart, and each scrolls independently without moving the page. - Choose which tab opens first, from the toolbar popup. A new install opens on Up Next, so the page starts out as you already know it; set it to Comments and every watch page opens on the comments instead. - More comments keep loading. The panel is a scroll container, and YouTube's own lazy loading keeps working inside it, so scrolling to the bottom loads the next page exactly as it would normally. - Pop-out player button: a button in YouTube's own control bar hands the video to your browser's Picture-in-Picture window, which floats above your other applications and survives the browser being minimized. - It stands down instead of fighting. In theater mode, in fullscreen, on windows too narrow for YouTube's own two-column layout, and on anything with a live chat beside it, the panel steps out of the way and you get stock YouTube rather than a half-applied layout. - Live streams are left alone. On a stream, a premiere, or a chat replay, YouTube's chat keeps the right-hand column and the page behaves normally. - Instant toggles: switch either feature on or off from the toolbar popup and it takes effect immediately in tabs you already have open. No reload. - It puts the page back. Every change YouScroll makes to the page carries its own undo, and switching a feature off restores YouTube's own layout exactly as it was. - Your settings sync between your own browsers through Chrome's own sync, the same way any extension setting does. WHO IT IS FOR Anyone who reads YouTube comments while the video is still playing: people following a long tutorial and checking whether anyone else hit the same problem, people watching a talk and reading the discussion alongside it, and anyone tired of scrolling back up to see what they are watching. WHAT PEOPLE USE IT FOR - Reading the comments on a tutorial without losing sight of the step. - Following a live discussion under a talk while it plays. - Keeping the recommendations one click away instead of buried. - Scrolling a long comment thread without the video sliding off screen. - Watching in a floating window while working in another application. PRIVACY YouScroll has no account, no server, and no analytics. It makes no network requests of its own and contains no remote code. It stores one small settings object, which is a handful of on/off switches and your preferred tab, and nothing else. Its access is limited to www.youtube.com. It requests no permission to read your browsing history, your other tabs, or any other site, and the build fails if that scope ever widens by accident. It does not read, store, or transmit page content, and there is no exception to that. It moves elements YouTube has already rendered and never looks at what is inside them: no comment text, no comment count, no titles, no watch history. See the privacy policy for the full statement.
