AutoScroll Comments for YouTube
prototypeThe YouTube comment section in a side panel that scrolls by itself — like movie credits — so you read hands-free while you watch.
Watch the video. Read the comments. At the same time.
AutoScroll Comments is a Chrome extension that shows YouTube's comment section in a side panel next to the player, drifting through the comments at a calm, readable pace — no more scrolling down, losing the video, and scrolling back up.
When a comment catches your eye, hover over the panel and the scrolling pauses instantly; like, reply, or expand threads as usual, and it resumes when you move away. Five adjustable speeds, auto-pause while the video is paused, and it gets out of the way entirely in fullscreen. These are YouTube's real comments, not a copy — replies, likes, and sorting all work exactly like the normal page.
No data collection, no tracking, no network requests. The only permission is
storage, used to remember your scroll speed.
Where it stands
Packaged at v0.1.0 and headed for the Chrome Web Store. Until it lands
there, grab it from the repo, run npm run build, and load the dist/
folder as an unpacked extension.
