A Lightweight extension that displays the length of the current YouTube playlist

A Lightweight extension that displays the complete duration of the YouTube playlist you are viewing or watching. It works on both the Playlist viewing page, and the watching page, blending in with YouTube's existing stats.

The script uses the DOM to calculate the length so there are no API calls to cause slow downs or pose security risks.

For playlists longer than 100 videos, you will need to scroll to the final video on the Playlist view page for a full calculation. Unfortunately this will not work on the watch page as YouTube only loads up to 400 videos.

Hover on the length displayed to view how many videos have been counted.
