Scroll Bar for the Sidebar #2342

Open rexzluz opened 2 weeks ago

rexzluz commented 2 weeks ago

PROBLEM: The sidebar is static and you cannot scroll through it.

SOLUTION: Add a scroll bar to the side bar, this way you can keep watching a video while browsing for more videos. Its appearance and function could be similar to the scroll bar option for the comments in the sidebar feature this extension has, or how you can scroll through the videos on a playlist.

ALTERNATIVES: None that i can think of.

RELEVANCE / SCOPE: This feature could make the page more dynamic for most users, if this feature were to be implemented, I have the feeling that most of the people who use this extension would have this on, and wouldn´t mind having it by default, as it would have no downsides.

"SIDE EFFECTS": I feel like it would conflict with the sidebar comments, a pair of solutions i can think of is when sidebar comments are on, move the related videos alongside its respective scrollbar under the player, or if the window is wide enough, add an extra sidebar containing the related videos. As of people who might not want this feature, i can´t think of any other than people that are already comfortable with the sidebar as it is.

⚬ _CONTEXT_: When scrolling through the page to find more related videos, you have to stop watching the player. // Thank you!
