Thanks to the incredible archiving efforts of many people, annotations from over 48 *million* videos were saved. AND you can view them right now! Even though YouTube no longer supports this feature, by installing an extension, you can still view them the way they were intended over 6 years ago.

The best way to view them is using the [AnnotationsRestored](https://github.com/isaackd/AnnotationsRestored) extension. Here's a list of interesting videos with annotations to get you started and instructions for installing below.

If you remember a video that had cool annotations, check and see, it might still exist!
