About this extension

💡 Hit me up for possible suggestions and improvements! (github.com/nhantrichuyenanh/YouTube-Comment-Formatter/issues)

📝 Akin to a word processor, highlight a text or put the cursor in the middle of it to format it. By the same token, format it again to remove the formatting. Add-on also takes into account how YouTube formats text with special symbols next to it to avoid rendering the text unformatted and making sure its hotkeys don't interfere with browser's.

Developer comments

NOTE:
• Community Post and Live Chat don't support text formatting while Shorts don't support YouTube's custom emojis.
• Timestamps in preview don't do anything if clicked since it would either refresh the whole page or opens a new tab, all of which are unpleasant. Sincerely sorry!
• Links are inherently quite messy so they might or not rendered properly in preview.
• Timestamps and links can't be formatted with formatting symbols, despite what preview displays.
• Unsafe assignment to innerHTML due to having to insert images into preview (YouTube renders emojis and its custom ones as images, consult here: https://youtu.be/3N8N_UIDlOc).

Release notes for 1.0.6

Added formatting for timestamps! Doesn't actually do anything, though, else it will completely refresh the page instead of actually at the timestamp.
