Description

Bring annotation support back to YouTube™!

On January 15 2019, YouTube decided to discontinue annotations. While the feature was frequently abused, it did have many legitimate use cases, such as games, corrections, and a form of commentary that could be toggled on and off. The removal left many older videos obsolete. Annotations Restored fixes this by searching for any archived annotation files and displaying them if found.

LATEST CHANGES (1.2.1)
- Added Discord link to popup
- Support for Portuguese by Gersonzao
- Support for Polish by Kamil K

USAGE
The extension will automatically look for a copy of a video's annotations online and display them if found. Annotation files (.xml) that you have saved locally can also be loaded into the current video using the popup.

PERMISSIONS
Access your data for www.youtube.com
- Required to load the annotations into the video player

It barely works like it says "Checking for annotations..." almost everytime when I watch a video with annotations. (I know it works but it doesn't quite on the same videos.)

Could you add an annotation editor to add our own annotations?
