    I just started using this. I also have the bug with the double-sized thumbnails but since I never use the Youtube starting page and the issue is not present in a channel's Videos page, it does not bother me too much.
    I honor the idea of this add-on, as this is basically a must have.

    Two questions or feature requests, though:

    1. I would really like to be able to manually mark videos as "watched" and be able to de-mark them. Not sure how this could be implemented, GUI-wise, but I think it would be a very great feature!

    2. Currently, it's sufficient to click a video to get it marked as "watched". Wouldn't you consider it more intuitive if a video only gets marked when watched "completely" or at least to 2/3, 3/4, 9/10? I know that's a bit philosophical and probably tricky to implement. Just asking. :)

    Thank you for your suggestions! I just uploaded a new version and while your first suggestion is not supported yet, I added a "Condition" setting that let allows you to specify when a video should be considered watched as per your second suggestion. Simply uncheck "Consider a video as watched once it appears in the browser's history." such that a video is not marked as watched once you open it, but once you have viewed it sufficiently for Youtube to consider it as watched. Thanks again for the suggestions!

    This addon is godsend. However the latest YouTube update broke it. On hover / scroll the video thumbnails double in height every now and then.

    Just a heads up, Looks like the most recent update to Youtube vaguely breaks this add-on. All the video thumbnails on the homepage sorta... double in height for some reason, at least that's been my experience.

    Needs more control over the overlay effect. It's good in the light YT theme, but could be darker in the dark YT theme.
    Just FYI, it's not compatible with Youtube Enhancer when using a theme, or vice versa. The overlay is removed.

    I have never switched to the dark theme and haven't yet considered that it may be a problem. You are completely right though and I appreciate that you pointed this out to me. I will try to address this in the next version.

    very good addition. with him much more convenient.
    can you add a feature, hide watched videos on the subscriptions page?

    Thank you for the kind words! I have thought about completely removing watched videos from the subscription page before. This is a little tricky though, since the extension would have to do the layouting of the grid again. Even though it would be useful, I have thus not currently planned to implement this feature, my apologies!

    Hi dear Simon!
    First, thank You for Your work.
    And thank You for fixing minor bugs when displaying "watched" logo on playlist.
    I have some comments for this extension. Recently (after the update of addon? or youtube?) watermark "watched" appeared in the upper left corner in full screen mode directly on playing video. I've seen this when watched playlist. Can You fix this, please?

    Everything it does works very nicely. What it doesn't do is allow videos marked as watched to be unmarked.

    Playlists have a minor decoration problem - watched videos on the playlist show a double layer of Watched.

    Awesone, you open the video and automatically it is greyed out but it would be more awesome if we could manually mark the video as watched witout actually open the video.

    Five stars for using screenshots of Kyde & Eric's channel. The add-on is good too. Wish it didn't mark livestreams as watched while they're still going, only once they are over and archived in their entirety.

    Essential for youtube.
    In rare cases marks not watched videos as watched.
