Since 2012, YouTube has hidden the useful (and sometimes comical) video tags entered by the clip’s owner. But now, a browser extension can help you revert the site back to its original, tag-supporting glory. Called Tags for YouTube, the extension allows YouTube users to uncover hidden video tags and see what terms a video creator initially entered to describe the clip.
Tags for YouTube can be installed on either the Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox internet browsers. Once installed, users can refresh their YouTube tabs to see a video’s tags by clicking the “Show more” button in the description. Tags for YouTube may not work, however, if a user already has another YouTube-altering extension installed on the same browser.
Tags for YouTube is just one of several browser extensions developers and coding fanatics have created over the past few years to make users’ online video experiences more enjoyable on Google’s online video site. SmartVideo, for example, determines when to start playing a video uninterrupted with buffering, based on the speed of a video viewer’s individual internet connection. VidIQ’s Vision extension also shows tags along with a multitude of other metrics and stats, and until recently, Chrome extension Streamus allowed YouTube users to stream videos as background music.
You can download the Tags for YouTube extension from the Chrome Web Store or the Mozilla Add-Ons store.
