'Improve YouTube!' 🎧 (For YouTube & Video) by code-for-charity, ImprovedTube

by Mel, a year agoOMG, finally, I am able to watch YT videos with captions—that I can actually read. The default captions I formerly got from YT were using some outline type of font, too small, and with very little contrast to the background. Thank you for this feature which allows me to read captions!

posted a year agoHi guys & thank you! This project is getting better since 12 Years now ❤️ ( and has seen several serious volunteers! 150 in total ) - But it also is a constant maintenance job since Youtube has many employees editing. That's while i'm burned out increasingly since several years and need to focus more on health. >Can You Vote please?< what would be a the right price per enabled feature per day? For example $0.01 per feature per day, with the first 4 Features being free for everyone. But if you enable 8 it would be $1.2/month. (And it could be free in poor countries. Yet still most users are from rich countries, while people in poor countries might have less time for Youtube).
- That way we could hire several developers (from poor places) and finally reward all the work with absolute purpose:
Donating all remaining income effentiently against hunger, polution and disease. Please just let me know (no drama). (Along with for how long you have been using the extension and how much, how many features)

- Rated 5 out of 5by 3ubaidUrRe7man, 8 days agoThis should be built-in with as a default addon, like ublock origin.

- Rated 1 out of 5by ShadowEri, 11 days agoWorks fine for the most part, but completely removes the recorded live chat for ALL videos with no options to turn it back on.

posted 6 days agoThe extension does nothing by default. Please check again and toggle your features one by one. - Rated 2 out of 5by LS, 11 days agoPretty outdated by 2026 (eg, Shorts still visible despite trying to hide them, Join buttons hide Improve YouTube options, generally pretty bloated with redundant optionality better covered by other apps or by YT updates enabling such options, etc.)

- Rated 5 out of 5by Roman, 19 days agoLike some users after installing this extension the fan was overworked with noises. HOWEVER, on closer inspection the issue was likely caused by having the in extension adblocking feature turned on while another adblocker (e.g. uBO or Adguard) was already in use. Simply put, when it comes to - Youtube - adblocker, use either the one within this extension or uBO/AdGuard/Ghostery etc. but never both or more.
- Rated 5 out of 5by glitch0id, 25 days agoI wanted the comment section on the right side of the page next to the video and was able to get this done using this extension. Absolute slam dunk.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Raeseti, a month agoGreat to begin with, but if you start going through your subscriptions it will bog down and break. And it turns out that the developer doesn't understand that not everyone who installs the extension is not their personal bug report.
- Rated 1 out of 5by DisplayName, a month agoAdd on makes youtube unusably laggy.
And yes developer this is what reviews are for. They're for leaving information for others about the experience of using the app. "Makes the website it's for unusably slow" is useful information for other users. This isn't a technical or bug support request. It's a review of the functionality of the app.Developer response
posted a month agoReviews tend to display herd behavior, reviews tend to display herd behavior, while the product is complex and hard to judge. The amount of daily uninstalls is low. This project was updated by over 200 volunteers. There might be a mystery bug only affecting 0.1% of users or 1% of Firefox version users - worth discovering, but depending on you writing a bug report..
I meant Mozilla has rules generally allowing to flag / remove this. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16192357, a month agoToo bad, the options are very relevant, but this extension makes YT unusable: depending on the chosen options, the YT window freezes. Calculation, settings, or others, we don't know what's happening. I don't quite understand the number of positive reviews, as I don't have such an exotic setup (FF 146.0.1 + YT Anti-Translate + Privacy Badger + Ublock Origin + Emoji CheatSet on W11x64).
