- Rated 4 out of 5by GoogleRefugee, a year agoreally nice, i only wish that the custom theme color select allowed you to either input a HEX -code or RGB values, the way it currently is makes selecting a specific color way too hard
Developer response
posted a year agohi! why? the color picker isn't small. the code is well structures so you can join us on github and easily add the hex value field if you will. You can also export and import the settings the adjust your exact color code - if you wish. Please understand this is niche/rare. The projects deserves 5 stars but we cant cant cover everything already. Thanks - Rated 4 out of 5by 505_606, a year ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by GankMeme, a year agoIs there a way to automatically popup a video while playing if I move the mouse down to read the comments section? Then back to normal view if I move up again, automatic. Hope you can add that feature. Thanks. edit: middle mouse button scroll wheel (press middle button) not working after installing this. Only happens in youtube.
Developer response
posted a year agohi, yes we have a customizable mini-player feature! :) - middle button is abug in firefox, which we reported and should be gone soon. We also made a remedy for. - Rated 4 out of 5by puzfighter, a year agoThe ad removal feature doesn't seem to work since Youtube can detect an adblocker running and disable videos from showing. It displays a prompt to disable any adblocker first.Otherwise this extension is near perfect.

posted a year agoplease dont vote us down for this. Adblock is just 1 in 100 features. - Rated 4 out of 5by n1_1n, 2 years agoeverything good, but currently if a set speed x2, it just work for the first video, later, another videos is at x1 speed
- Rated 4 out of 5by AndyArtistics, 2 years agoIt normally works really well.
But within the last couple days it's not auto-playing the start of playlists despite the fact that i never turned that function off in the extension. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17624452, 2 years agoI have a problem in Full Player, when i'm in full screen i see a white gap below, and this is cause by Player Size Full Height (Appearance>Player>Player Size> Full Height) but this is annoying because i use that option when i'm not in full screen to make the video player more bigger, but when i use full screen i see a white gap space like a footer.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17983202, 2 years agoReally great, but it overwrites my dislike for youtube add-on, maybe you could bake it into this extension so that it works properly?
- Rated 4 out of 5by er_JuLi3v2, 2 years agoThe middle mouse button doesnt scroll in the videos, yes in subscriptions. When the add-on is disabled it works well. Do you plan to solve it? Because I have seen comments 3 months ago with this bug and the bug remains the same. I like extension but this for me is a big problem.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Raphaël74, 2 years agoThere are options that I don't see. Is there a specific way to activate them ? Eg. I don't see any Reverse Playlist button. EDIT : ok I found it.
- Rated 4 out of 5by ShoWel, 2 years agoReally, the only thing I lack is hardware acceleration on Linux. I loved this feature in Windows and miss it dearly

(+ 5 Stars please ) - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16921071, 2 years agoThe "collapse comments" option is bugged, the dropdown won't show up. The extension is also messing with the text color of the buttons of the video page. The toggle to hide certain buttons (such as Clip and Thanks) is bugged as well, please fix!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Katsui, 2 years agoworks great but current bug where middle-mouse click scroll does not work randomly on certain video pages.
Developer response
posted 2 years agothanks for your review! can you give some examples? as far as i knew yet this problem happens always? - Rated 4 out of 5by LonWolfDan, 2 years agoEverything works well so far with this extension but, I immediately noticed a strange bug.
On the YouTube Homepage, the thumbnails of each video that shows, have become invisible. I say "invisible" because, if I hover over the video, for a brief second, the thumbnail appears but quickly disappears??
I also found out that, it's this extension itself that is causing this. When I disable the extension, everything goes back to normal, the thumbnails appear and don't disappear anymore. But, as soon as I re enable the extension, the same bug occurs.
Please reply back to this review as soon as you can please and let me know what could be happening here, I'd appreciate it!Developer response
posted 2 years agowe fixed it at about the same time as your review. However Store updates can take day
"Next Listed Version: 4.6"
if any bug remains, we should find out exactly. Please join us on Github. And paste F12 console errors in reports, or anything). - Rated 4 out of 5by Aarya, 2 years agoIt was great until the extension kept on redirecting me into channel posts whenever I clicked on a video or scrolled on the YouTube homepage.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17776553, 2 years agoThis addon is great, but it won't keep subtitles on. I selected "Subtitles" under Player>Subtitles. Reinstalling it didn't fix this issue.
- Rated 4 out of 5by med, 2 years agogreat , I use it on firefox , edge and chrome, to be the greatest need , control volume by mouse wheel and add context menu search on youtube; if you do so; I will give 5 start from 3 accounts

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15166984, 2 years agoIn my review 6 months ago I mentioned this add-on needed an updated. Well, it's now been a year since this was updated and Youtube has gone through some major design changes since then. Sad really because it had promise.

posted 2 years 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 4 out of 5by OscarPug, 2 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by von Karma, 2 years agoFor the most part, this extension is amazing, definitely helps with combating YouTube's auto quality setting too.
This extension is missing out on a lot of the updates from its GitHub repo however.
If anyone is coming across an issue where you can't re-enable comment avatars try this:
#1: Go to "about:devtools-toolbox?id=%7B3c6bf0cc-3ae2-42fb-9993-0d33104fdcaf%7D&type=extension"
#2: Click "Storage" from the top if it hasn't been selected already
#3: Open "Extension Storage" from the left side
#4: Click on the first result
#5: Click "Filter Items" and type "hide_author_avatars",
#6: Right click on the first result and click "Delete hide_author_avatars"
This should bring back comment avatars (you may need to reload existing YouTube tabs)
You do need to delete the key since setting the value to "false" doesn't work on this particular version of Improve Youtube (3.935).Developer response
