Review Summary
Users appreciate the extension for restoring YouTube annotations, enabling nostalgia and enjoyment of interactive videos that would otherwise lose these features. It works well on most videos, enhancing experiences especially when used with other extensions. However, it suffers from limitations such as incomplete coverage for obscure videos, occasional timing inaccuracies, inconsistent loading on some videos, and lack of functionality on embedded videos. Despite some reports of it not working, overall it is well received as a valuable tool for reviving old YouTube content annotations.
Pros

- Works flawlessly on the vast majority of videos with annotations.
- Enhances user experience when combined with other extensions like ad blockers and dislike returners.

- Highly appreciated by users for preserving video content from 'a product of its time'.
Cons
- Does not work on all videos, particularly obscure ones without cached annotations or where uploaders don't have annotation data.
- Sometimes annotations are out of sync or have timing issues in certain videos.
- Occasionally shows messages like 'Checking for annotations...' without loading them properly, indicating inconsistent performance.
- Does not work properly on embedded YouTube videos despite options available.
