About

Sidebar for YouTube™ is an extension that gives you access to YouTube via the sidebar window.

Note: YouTube is a trademark of Google Inc. Sidebar for YouTube™ is an unofficial addon and does NOT belong or relate to Google and YouTube at all. This addon is developed and maintained independently by its author.

To work with this addon, please press the toolbar button to open the sidebar. Within the sidebar window, there is a toolbar with a few buttons at the top. To open the current video in a new tab, please press the pop-out button at the top toolbar. There are also buttons for back, forward, embed and reload.

Note: Some videos may not play well or complete in the sidebar. You can try to load these videos in embed mode, meaning, the embed URL for that video is loaded in the sidebar. To do so, please press the - Embed Mode - button on the top toolbar (3rd button from left).

Note: YouTube videos play well if you are logged in to your account. Without logging in, videos may not play or play incompletely. So, before using the addon, please open a new tab and log in to your YouTube account.

To report bugs, please fill out the bug report form on addon's homepage (https://mybrowseraddon.com/youtube-sidebar.html).
