Only works on G-Suite account.

[Suleman-Elahi]

Is there any plan for adding support for non G-Suite users? The UI of comments history page is a little bit different for non G- Suite users.

[ian-campbell]

I will look into that right away

[ian-campbell]

The 2.0.1 update is pending on the Chrome web store now.

@Suleman-Elahi what do you mean by G-suite? Is the URL different?

[Suleman-Elahi]

URL is same, the UI is a kinda different. It works on G-Suite(organizational emails with custom domain) but not with the generic Gmail account.

[ian-campbell]

I made a fresh YouTube account without gmail or g-suite but couldn’t get to that screen. Maybe you can help me, send me the html document of the page so I can view the class names of the delete buttons?

[ian-campbell]

Maybe copy-paste the html code of the 'X' button. If you need help with inspect element I can tell you how to do that.

If I can get the class names then I should be able to update the script.

[Suleman-Elahi]

HTML => https://paste.ee/p/HpvKM

[ian-campbell]

Perfect. We have the first class, "YxbmAc". Now we need the next one. Click on the X and then use Inspect Element to get the html of the popup menu.

[Suleman-Elahi]

Pop up doesn't appear in that page. Just click 'x' and then it deletes the comment.

[ian-campbell]

Try pasting this whole script in your javascript console and see what happens.

// try 0, then try increasing values. this is delay between comment deletions
var DELAY = 0;

// if script ends but yt has more comments loading then increase this pause value.
// this provides 1 retry attempt between list updates. useful for slow cpu/network.
// (electronoob: 800 was the ideal value for my machine)
var PAUSE = 1000;

It works and deletes all the comments. But in the end one popup remains. Thanks.

[ian-campbell]

Nice! Good job.

[ian-campbell]

Updating the extension now.
