- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13519399, 4 hours agoThey removed autoPiP on Firefox, which was the main reason I was using this extension
- Rated 5 out of 5by Lilith D. Bracken, 5 hours agoI really like this extension. It makes YouTube so much cleaner and easier to use. You can hide all the distracting stuff, change the layout, and add helpful tweaks that make watching and browsing feel smoother. It’s lightweight and doesn’t slow things down, which is great. The shortcuts and filters are super handy for managing videos and playlists too. Overall, it just makes YouTube feel more organized and personal. Once you start using it, it’s hard to imagine going back to the default version.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18744393, 2 days agoI installed it mainly because I wanted it to hide the videos I have already watched. It can't do that, even though there are a few settings for it.
Other than that, It pretty much breaks YouTube. Most features don't work and the site becomes incredibly slow and unresponsive. Playback stops randomly and I often can't even refresh the page. It tries to do too much and manages to fail at every feature.Developer response
posted 16 hours agoyou might noticed, to hide you also need to track what you watched. We can make that toggle enable automatically as for "mark.."
"can't refresh page"? (what do you mean? Doesn't sound related) thanks - Rated 5 out of 5by Vin, 3 days ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Hrodvitnir, 16 days agoI'm a big fan of this, but I did come here to mention/ask about the hiding the shorts reels/forcing normal player not working - but I see someone said it's on mobile specifically. I have zero understanding of coding or how to use github except following specific instructions, so wouldn't have a clue how I could add the mobile URL if that other person didn't.

posted 15 days agohi :) (then consider to not down-vote hat you like? :D) a point of open source is one volunteer (or one commercial company) wont be enough / best for millions of users and 1000s of use-cases. You guys can really copy paste the mobile URL from the browser bar. (Or even search for the desktop URL in the code, to add it there as synonym (=Code contribution) And at doubt just ask, chatgpt and or on github, and so on. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 19438257, 16 days ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by stapuft, 24 days agoWorks allright, but on mobile, you have tonswitch to "desktop mode" to make some features work, like automatically redirecting from the shitty "shorts" page to the actual YouTube page for the video.

posted 20 days agoHi! Please add the mobile URL in our github repo if you will. This is made for www.youtube since 2012 (and www.youtube changes alone required a lot of volunteering). The descriptions sais "... (+preparing mobile m.youtube)". (Please give fair feedback. We could flag it as "Misplaced bug report or support request", but prefer to keep information visible.) - Rated 5 out of 5by Lakyn, a month ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by MetalGear89, a month agoFantastic add one. Youtube is awful to use on desktop without it.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 19465923, a month agoThemes and some settings are ok. I just do not like that whenever I switch from a tab to youtube and vice versa, there is a short amount of time where the page reloads. I have no idea why it keeps doing this. It also has issues wherein despite not enabling the "Force videos to start from the beginning", it still forces videos to start from the beginning. It's annoying and worth the uninstall. Hopefully they fix such issues by then

- Rated 3 out of 5by ueeu, a month agoVery good QQL feature add, however it is extremely performance intensive, do NOT use the build in theme feature 100% will slow down site responsiveness.
Also it would be nice to add a action menu because the YouTube ui keep changing so I can stop seeing buggy UI
Edit: CPU usage wise I think so, but it seems to also interfere with page loading, most of the time for me it's a blank pageDeveloper response
posted 20 days agoYou mean full replacement UI?
There currently is a CPU hungry bug only for the moment while you are changing our settings and only in Firefox. - Rated 5 out of 5by Vangxim, a month ago
