Description

Concise Description

Hello! loving the extension <3

I found a bug and it has prob been reported earlier but I couldnt find any..

But theres a bug activating comments to be shown on the sidebar and also activating subtitles to always be enabled doesnt save/work.

But in the case of the sidebar - Even if its enabled, it doesnt work, so in each video I gotta open the menu and go into comments then disable sidebar for comments and enable it again for it to work.

Please fix this if you can, would appreciate it! :)
