I get the idea and I'm happy somebody made an automated one, but it just isn't working at all. It keeps refreshing my YouTube and then gets shut down with a "reload" button appearing. I see the summarize button for like 5 milliseconds and then it refreshes. I am on Opera GX so I don't know if it effects the way it works at all. EDIT: Still doesn't work but the dev was very nice and tried to help, I think it's a problem with Opera so I'm changing the rating.

Nice Idea, But bad implementation never worked for me... it keeps opening chatgpt tab in background and closing it, Waited for about two hours, Nothing happened seems like infinite loop.

Doesn't work. 1. it opens a blank popup, quite large and i have to scroll to enter the command 2. entering the command to summarize the video should be done automatically not manually 3. manually entering a command (e.g. "summarize the video") returns error about cloudflare 4. after several retries it no longer returns cloudflare error, BUT: - says it can't make a summary of videos - or says it can't watch videos to make transcripts - or that it doesn't know of what video to make a summary - or from what video to extract a transcript and make a summary - or it asks me to enter the transcript so it can make a summary - or it says it can't extract transcripts and wants me to enter the transcript So, it's absolutely useless. Waste of time.
