Restores annotations for YouTube videos that were lost when the feature was discontinued in 2019. The extension searches online archives and displays any found annotation files, allowing creators to revive older content with corrections, commentary, or other notes. Users who rely on annotations for educational, gaming, or commentary purposes will benefit from this extension's ability to recover lost annotations.
Overview
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.
