YT Music Floating Lyrics v1.0.0

First public release of YT Music Floating Lyrics.
This extension adds a floating, synced lyrics experience for YouTube Music so you can follow lyrics while browsing other tabs.

What’s new

• Floating lyrics overlay for songs playing on YouTube Music
• Time-synced lyric highlighting when synced lyrics are available
• Click-to-seek support from lyric lines to jump to that part of the track
• Optional separate popup lyrics window
• Draggable overlay with remembered position
• Smart caching to reduce repeated lyric lookups
• Fallback to plain lyrics when synced lyrics are not available

How it works

The extension detects the currently playing track on YouTube Music and fetches lyrics from LRCLIB.
If synced lyrics are available, lines are highlighted in real time; otherwise plain lyrics are displayed.

Installation (manual)

1. Download the release ZIP asset.
2. Extract it to a folder on your computer.
3. Open Chrome and go to chrome://extensions.
4. Enable Developer mode.
5. Click Load unpacked and select the extracted folder.

Notes
