About

The YTBookmarker extension helps you save time when watching a YouTube Video. It makes every video on YouTube behave like a book where you can easily bookmark a specific spot. After bookmarking a spot you can easily navigate to this individual timestamp whenever you want.

All bookmarks are synced with your Google Chrome account, so you can view the bookmarks when you come back to a previously watched video.

The extension currently works only on Google Chrome.

Credits

The Extension was designed and developed by me, Archontis Kostis.
The icons for the extension are all provided by Bootstrap Icons.
The videos that are displayed on the Use Guide are not mine but from an incredible YouTube creator called Fireship.
To create the logo and edit the apps icons I used the Open-Source vector graphics Software Inkscape.
