Overview

Switch between Recommended, Info and Comments in the right sidebar while the video keeps playing. No scrolling down.

Read the comments while the video keeps playing. On a YouTube watch page, the comments and the full description sit below the video. To read them you have to scroll down, and the video scrolls out of view. Side Tabs for YouTube turns the right sidebar into three tabs instead: Recommended, Info and Comments. FEATURES • Three tabs in the right sidebar: Recommended, Info (description) and Comments • The video stays visible: the sidebar is as tall as the window and scrolls on its own • The "Add a comment…" box stays pinned at the top of the Comments tab • Everything still works: replies, likes, sorting, "load more" and timestamp links behave as usual • Remembers your last tab and the scroll position of each tab • Switches itself off in theater mode, fullscreen and narrow windows, so YouTube looks as normal there • Light and dark theme • English and German interface PRIVACY No tracking, no ads, no network requests, no external code. The only permission is "storage", used to remember your last tab. OPEN SOURCE MIT licensed.
