I spent some time researching adding chapters to the video seekbar (so they work the same as chapters added by the video creator)

I found it's easy to hide or change the chapter text/timing for a video that already has YouTube chapters, by patching the code that creates chapter timing objects and changing/removing the data.

But adding chapters to a video that does not already have chapters is much more complicated. The creation of a YouTube chapter data object is built using many layers of obfuscated classes, and the calling code that creates the chapters needs many modifications.

To me, it seems like a large effort for a small return (there are not many videos with custom SponsorBlock chapters), but maybe a simpler approach to patching will be found.

A simpler solution is add (yet another) UI overlay button that opens a dialog box listing the video chapters. The button would only appear when chapters are available.

This would be fairly simple to implement.
