YT music desktop lyrics suck, so I built a floating synced lyrics PiP extension

Got tired of constantly switching tabs to read lyrics while working. YT music's phone app has great synced lyrics, but the desktop site is just a static text dump.

Built a tiny chrome extension in vanilla JS that floats synced lyrics over your screen no matter what tab you're on. It fetches from lrclib, syncs with the audio, and you can click any line to skip to that part of the song. You can also pop it out to a separate window if you have a second monitor.

Zero tracking, no frameworks used.

It's not on the web store yet, so you just have to load it unpacked in dev mode.

P.S - Attached a demo video of it.
