Description

PROBLEM: I often have a hard time estimating the total duration of the current playlist/queue.

SOLUTION: I would like to have a small display (maybe next to the playlist name?) that shows the total duration of the playlist/queue by summing up the duration of the videos in the playlist/queue.

ALTERNATIVES: 3rd party solutions, see https://github.com/code4charity/YouTube-Extension/issues/727#issuecomment-798912415

RELEVANCE / SCOPE: I think this would be really useful for a lot of users.
