Insane innovation

Gustin Limneus·9 Oct 2026

This is SOOO good, i wasn't finding much when searching on google, i was like well i guess its just to hard to make something for youtube music, but somehow found this, not famous at all, wasn't excpeting muchn but its sooo good, both extentions made the lyrics and the themes shader all wow

Noah Appels·26 Sept 2026

Literally the best! It’s been a while since I added an extension that actually does exactly what it says, and this is definitely one of them. The sync timing and everything else is extremely well done! My only minor issue is that there is a slight delay when switching to the next song, it takes a few quiet seconds for the lyrics to appear, which can be a bit annoying. Overall, though, it's a great extension!
