This is good, but would it be a big problem to display both data at the same time?

Great extension, I hope YouTube gets rid of that soon. It looks really stupid and just feels wrong. Why on earth would they even add such a dumb non optional feature anyway? Oh well, at least the extension seems to work.

The MAIN ISSUE n why it OCCURS Appears to be a Page scripting problem with the recent add of @handles this extension works , BUT YOU MUST ***REFRESH THE PAGE*** every time you comment for YOUR USERNAME TO SHOW NORMALLY even after commenting for this extension to work ... wich is bad .. but it still works.. but this extension NEEDS improvement .. it needs to AUTOMATICALY . make USERNAME SHOW After every comment commented in the comment section ... not after the page is refrshed after every comment the user name shows correctly... GOOD EXTENSION but needs improvement

Thank you!!! This awful new change to make things more like Twitter has got to go. First Discord, now Youtube, too? Thank goodness people like you are out there to counter-act the idiocy of big tech.

https://youtube.com/* これしか対応してないので、完全に視聴者利用のみだね。 https://studio.youtube.com/* これを追加してくれないと管理者は困る。

Once again, extension devs doing the heavylifting of keeping YouTube a somewhat-enjoyable experience. It only took a few days for me to realize this change wasn't a bug. I know I'm probably in the minority, but I love going to some videos where in the comments, someone's pretending to be a relevant character. Of course the handles take away from that. Anyway this extension works as described, thank you so much!
