Youtube Comment Reader is a free Chrome add-on developed by Andreas (Andy) Reichelt. This multifunctional data table allows users to read, search, sort, and filter YouTube comments with ease.

With Youtube Comment Reader, users can sort comments in ascending or descending order based on various criteria such as author, comment time, upvotes count, replies count, last reply time, comment length, or channel owner's upvotes. The add-on also provides a search function to filter comments and replies by author or text content. It supports comments in all languages and works seamlessly with YouTube Shorts as well.

Navigating through comments and responses is made effortless with the ability to use array keys (left, right, up, down) for quick navigation. Users can also switch between light and dark mode for a personalized viewing experience.

To use Youtube Comment Reader, simply open a YouTube video, click on the extension icon in the Chrome extensions toolbar, and wait for the extension popup to load. Then, click on the Comment Reader icon to open the add-on in a new tab. The comments will load from newest to oldest, and users can interrupt the loading process at any time to start reading the comments that have been loaded so far. Interrupted loading processes can be resumed at any time if more comments are desired.

Overall, Youtube Comment Reader is a valuable tool for anyone who wants to efficiently read, search, and manage YouTube comments. Its user-friendly interface and powerful features make it a must-have for YouTube enthusiasts.
