chrome no youtube comments

Some users have said on the YouTube forum that YT video comments don’t appear in their Chrome browsers. The loading messages for comments hang below the YouTube videos for those users.

Therefore, Chrome doesn’t display the YouTube comments when the issue arises. Does that sound like a familiar scenario? If so, check out some of the potential fixes below.

This is how you can fix Chrome not showing YouTube comments?

1. Clear Chrome’s Browser data

  1. Click the Customize Google Chrome menu button.
  2. Select More tools to expand a submenu.Clear browsing data option google chrome not showing youtube comments

  4. Select All time on the drop-down menu.
  5. Select the Browsing history, Cookies and other site data, and Cached images and files check boxes.
  6. Press the Clear data button.

2. Open Chrome in incognito mode

Chrome might display YouTube comments in incognito mode. To switch to that mode, press the Ctrl + Shift + N hotkey. Then a new window will open as shown in the snapshot directly below. If that fixes the issue, you might need to disable some broken extensions within the browser.
