Reviews & Comments of Annotations Restored for YouTube™ chrome extension

this extension brought back my wife and kids due to how good it is

very useful for bringing back the old youtube

pro extension

this works great with the return YouTube dislike I'm bringing back features that got removed and this is great for that thank you!

Thank you! I can watch old pewdiepie vids with the classic annotations now. Feel like a kid again.

Really good. Can you make a extension that brings back Creator Studio Classic next? It's ok if you can't.

EDIT: It is now working (also thanks for the reply, afrmtbl), the UI on the options menu is nice.

i love this thank you so much

This product changed my life. I can finally rest my soul and return to the golden age of youtube. Thank you.

It was great! Was. When i updated my Chromebook it says the extension was not compatible! Please fix this, i want to watch Fukkireta!

Ive slowly been converting websites back to the the early 2010's look, and this is just a no-brainer for that. Thank you so much for this

Its lovely to get back into nostalgia!

Wow, this completely flew under the radar unlike Return YouTube Dislike. If I had known this extension existed all that time ago I would have installed it then.

Occasionally doesn't work for videos that I know for a fact had annotations, but whenever it does work, it works miracles. I'm always happy when old content can be preserved, even when it's just little notes or buttons on videos. Thank you so much for making this.

I can now play my favorite disney channel interative games

it just says "no video playing"

this annotation is very cool! but the x button doesnt work meaning, when i click it it sends me to the video that is linked.

awesome! but is there a way to add annotations on my own video? or atleast make an XML for my video using some kinda editor?

Wow this is awesome, just straight up works! One thing I noticed is the X doesn't seem to function on the annotations for me, but otherwise this works perfectly.

Works on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAGOKh0I56Q

its broken

Great extension, allows me to view the annotations as effectively as it should. However it seems to be making the font size on some annotations too large, which means they will occasionally run outside of the video I'm using them on, rendering some annotations unreadable.

Originally posted: 1/2/2022 7/5/2022: This extension had some problems when I first review it but now it's definitely improved. Annotations works and you can even restore annotations on old private videos (Must be still stored on their servers.) The new logo is nice and menu with annotation type/text info is a useful addition.

At first it worked properly, but then for some reason it just stopped working. The annotations didn't appear at all. Why does this happen?

The extension is really good!! But there are a few bugs... For example sometimes when the annotations show up on a video it glitches and shows up in the video i watch next, please fix this if you can

This works really good most of the time, thanks for making this

Is a very good plugin but i rate 4-stars because have a a problem... the "X" to close the annotation doesnt work

It's great! But I think you should update its Manifest version to v3.

thank you so much, it looks a bit silly but still works for videos from 2009. crazy

it's not working on all videos could you upgrade it this is the video that it isn't working on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObWnYPUYORA

i cant close the annotations

its cool but i cant close them for some reason

Would rate 5 stars but the one problem I have is you can't click the x on annotations to get rid of them, and there's no way to disable annotations on certain videos. The rest is great.

not work

This is a must-have extension for those who want to see the annotations again. The only problem with this extension is that the close buttons on each annotation doesn't seem to work. If you can find a fix for that, that would be nice. Still, this extension deserves a 5 star rating.

Pretty good! I get annotations on most videos that used to have them, and they display great Only gripe I have is that I cant close the annotations once they have popped up. I try edging up to the X but I can never click it. If this issue gets fixed, ill be sure to edit my review accordingly.

I Love This! I only with that there was an Option to display Annotations in the Old Style. Like This: https://www.reddit.com/r/nostalgia/comments/bpj5hv/old_annotations_on_youtube_videos/

it's so cool to just be able to see annotations on older videos again!! only thing is that when annotations are placed at the very top of the screen, you can't actually close them for whatever reason. if a toggle could be added somewhere in or near the player that would be neat :>

Been living in an alternate reality since I got this and I never want to go back.

The fact that this exists and functions perfectly...yeah I'll give it 5 stars. Without this, a part of creative YouTube content would be lost forever. Epic

Works like a charm, but the X doesn't work and there doesn't appear to be a setting to disable it without disabling the whole extension. Otherwise, thank you for this.

Thank you!!!! I miss annotations so much

It tells me everytime there's a video (maybe) without annotations it bothers me with a messagebox saying: "There are no annotations loaded" and it crashes the tab in which the loaded video is in.

it works! it just.. take some time to load the annotations. i tried it with mario simulator interactive and annotation tetris, it works! tho at some point it doesnt load the annotations... welp its fine, atleast it works

Really don't know how to use it, it only worked once. im such a noob :(

it doesn't work at all. i can't play mario simulator interactive.

I can't believe this actually works, amazing.

amazing but the x button doesn't work, probably just me but maybe not. if it's a problem with the extension i suggest you guys fix it.

epic

Not only does it not work but I don't understand how this could possibly work... when i open up the extension i see two options named youtube annotation data and converted youtube annotation data each with empty text boxes below them and a "choose file" option. so... am i supposed to download the video or something?? i thought i just downloaded the extension and it automatically added annotations... Will be glad to revert my review if i get feedback or this gets fixed

More people need to use this! Not only does it work perfectly, it goes above and beyond by giving you a button to show the timestamps of all the annotations in a video!

Love this addon is restores one of youtube's best feature

Good idea for people who want to this to be an optional function of Youtube. Youtube should not turn this function off forever like that, don't set by default but leave it as an options to turn it on instead. There are a lot of information need to put it on the video right in the point so people will get it more easily. Thank to the developer! Those who don't know about Youtube annotation on the past will have the idea of it. And better add a function allow people - Youtuber communication to make annotation when using this extension. Or a website to do that will be good as well.

Immediately after adding it, I tested it out on a video and it worked! Glad to have stayed up all night and eventually stumble upon this extension.

I LOVE THIS EXTENSION I CAN ABLE TO WATCH SOME INTERACTIVE ANNOTATIONS AND OLD VIDEOS AT THE END JESUS 10/10

No matter what video I tried, in or out of legacy Youtube, annotations would not appear at all. The description says it looks for annotation files automatically, so I don't know if there's something I'm doing wrong, or it just doesn't work

when i added it no annotations poped up, do i need to restart my pc?

Thank you so much for making this possible!
