- Rated 3 out of 5by Hundvd7, 2 months agoAbout half the features are half-broken, but at least it's all optional

posted 2 months agono! be more precise please: https://github.com/code-charity/youtube thanks - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 16366541, 5 months agolooking to replace Enhancer for YouTube [for Cowardice in the Face of google]... but this extension refuses to export its own settings. asks for permission to access storage [granted] & then never proceeds to local FS folder choice & never exports. importing settings seems to work. wtf... excessively compartmented settings UI, requiring totuous traversal of modal sub-windows.
Developer response
posted 5 months agohey, how did you import when you couldn't export? Most people wont remember the order of 100 features in one list. However you arent bound to it as there is search. I'm sorry frustration isn't impossible and partly inevitable even for this product deserving 5 stars, until a few more of our 570 000 users help us. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 16315383, 6 months agoGood addon, but the UI is extremely clunky compared with Enhancer for Youtube.
Developer response
posted 6 months agohi! why? many people like the UI, and compare it to iOS or macOS. Yet an UI is usually not what decided the feedback for an extension :/ - And why compare with what you already seem to be used to? We endure to work on this since 11 years and mostly care about features that are completely unique with no alternatives to be found. Thanks - Rated 3 out of 5by Iphicles, 7 months ago

Developer response
posted 7 months agoseems to be a rare bug. thus not yet a solved. please report all clues https://github.com/code-charity/youtube/issues - Rated 3 out of 5by Fleg, 7 months agoEverything works fine except it doesn't help me auto play videos in playlists since playlist auto play doesn't exist for me anymore and enabling auto play in this extension doesn't work.
Developer response
posted 7 months agohey, Firefox blocks autoplay by default. if you are sure it is about this extension, please report more details on our github. thanks! https://github.com/code-charity/youtube - Rated 3 out of 5by Miriam, 9 months ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18074238, 9 months agoI added this extension specifically for it's function to reverse youtube playlists, but I don't see the button to do it.
Developer response
posted 9 months agodone! :) https://github.com/code-charity/youtube/issues/1544
If there is any bug please report asap on github. (Please understand frequent YouTube updates arent our fault nor if you only want one feature)
Many smiles. - Rated 3 out of 5by unnamed-orbert, a year ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by Solace_In_Rage, a year agoI liked features like the revers by age button, but I recently started getting an error where any video with annotations would turn the loop video option on, and disabling this extension was the only fix. I'll keep checking back in case of a fix because I liked it, but for now I need the playlists to play properly more than I need the extras this brings.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Tarantula, a year agois there a way to move the youtube OSD controls/buttons below the player (not autohide, just move), I would like this very much.
Developer response
posted a year agohi! what do you mean? the screenshot & rotate button are visually fitting in & almost too far from the player. They are the only "lifeSign" from our extension by default, for new users. If they dont like it they should go have a look in the menu - or i guess uninstall if they forget it all - thats just the nature of it all. Many smiles! 5 stars only please. Even 4 harms. - Rated 3 out of 5by Kindle, a year agoNot sure why but this extension really likes screenshots. Whenever I change any setting it takes a screenshot. Not only that, but for whatever reason, when I click on the "Themes" tab it takes 8 screenshots. It could be a compatibility issue with another extension but I can't be bothered to check right now.

posted a year agoHi, its impossible. firefox only has their own Picture in Picture button. We disabled the button in Firefox.- Rated 3 out of 5by Piotr, a year agoI wish this extension could add new filters f.e.: for video duration and upload date.

posted a year agohi! :) you can add a youtube API key, https://github.com/code-for-charity/ImprovedTube-for-YouTube/wiki/%F0%9F%9B%88-YouTube-API:--How-to-generate-your-Youtube-API-key - Rated 3 out of 5by Özkan, a year agoThis add-on contains lots of bugs. First; it extends the lenght of player so if video is 16:9 it becomes much more long in player base and i have black bars on top and bottom of the video. My YT home page and YouTube users' profile pages also broken because of this add-on. They solved lots of bugs so i am just turning it off for now, i wish they can solve new issues without any more time.
Edit: "Limit Page Width" solved the bug which i mentioned (video width and home, profile pages). Thanks. But changing thumbnail quality breaks thumbnails to gray boxes.Developer response
posted a year agohi! homepage is a bug only when you use the extension to remove youtube's page-width limit. hope to see you again with more stars - Rated 3 out of 5by voloman, 2 years agoThere's a lot of promise here, but there's no polish. Some features work great, until you move/resize the screen. Some features don't work the way you'd want them to. No volume controls for the mouse wheel. It will eventually be a contender with "Enhancer for YouTube™" but I'll give it 6 more months in the oven until I try it again.

posted a year agohi! ♥ 4.0.17.1 will be live in Firefox any moment with ~100 improvements. Unfortunately we lost our maintainer in 2022, but are getting back on track. We are over 500000 active users and only 1-3 active developers. Every volunteer will help https://github.com/code-for-charity/ImprovedTube-for-YouTube - Rated 3 out of 5by Yuli, 2 years agoCould you make the custom shortcuts work in another tab or while using PIP? I'd like to use rewind-forward keys from outside Youtube
- Rated 3 out of 5by JAG, 2 years agoNo update since January 2022.
Youtube has updated her design and the thumbnails won't showing.
Please update this extension.Developer response

I enabled "Auto Pause when switching tabs", but it works until I switch tabs 3 times, then it does not auto pause anymore.Developer response
posted 2 years agoworks! if you find any bug please report it specifically. Thanks - Rated 3 out of 5by Shajirr, 2 years agoSeems to be incompatible with BlockTube - with both addons active the YT video is unplayable, it gets paused as soon as you start it, every time, and page refreshes do nothing.

to be more precise: we volunteer for this cause since 10 years for 500.000 users and 100+ feature. We can't know every other project, there are 1000s and most of them have just one feature and are not actively developed. (Please try to be fair in ratings)
