More edit: Cannot view comments when this app is enabled, regardless of whether I select "shown", "collapsed", or "hidden". This makes this add-on's single most useful feature unusable, and I'm on the verge of uninstalling.
Edit: I've tried previous versions and the issue is still there. Edit: 1) The "won't play" issue turned out to be caused by turning off "Autoplay" under "Player". I assume and hope this isn't intended behaviour. 2) The "top and bottom are cut off" issue turned out to be caused by turning off "limit page width". To me it seems backwards that there's an option that needs to be switched ON to maintain normal behaviour, and causes abnormal (and undesirable) behaviour when you switch it OFF. I feel like it should be the other way around. 3) No, I don't have a rare computer or system. Edit: I thought the Autoplay setting was causing the pausing issue, as it seemed to go away whenever I turned it off and come back when I turned it on. This is no longer the case. So I guess that's not the cause after all.
This COULD be really great, and would replace at least two other addons for me. It's also the only addon I've found that can hide comments without getting rid of the comment field, a feature I've wanted for a long time. But I can't play YouTube videos when I have this enabled! It will only play a frame or maybe a few frames at a time before pausing again by itself. And even when it does play, the top and bottom of the video are cut off! I've experimented with all the settings and nothing helps. Disabling my other YouTube-related addons didn't help either.

pubblicato il 4 anni faEDIT2: ah! hey, probably the autoplay setting! (i couldn't reproduce either in the latest Firefox. But it was reported 3 times by now)
https://github.com/code-for-charity/YouTube-Extension/issues/1213 ( The other setting is new and could also be called "Unlimited page width" to be more intuitive. (even though technically it is something that Youtube visually does by default already and we just switch it off. We can always improve and make the most important features bigger and label some others as rare/specific. But this is an avid task and not trivial and should not be required to avoid low ratings ( https://github.com/code4charity/YouTube-Extension/discussions/748 )
- this project is actually is the only existing solution for many things and the most convenient one too in comparision. Most settings allow to see the effect instantly on the current page, unlike all alternatives, that require to make settings in different tabs. (- yet 'youtube enhancer' & 'magic actions for youtube' do have a million more users still) - and bad ratings might make the gap bigger if anything.
(To be more precise, the width limit feature is meant to allow the site/video to expand to the sides. This means, if you have a superwide screen or also hide related videos, then the video height wont fit fully, unless you also hide the youtube header, or zoom or use auto-fullscreen. We are not a one-fit-all solution by definition for a billion users like YouTube itself. We volunteer to serve specific wishes. Most users are willing to experiment for some minutes for once. In a 100 features a few will in fact naturally not help you. All of which we can try to label perfectly in the next update, but never avoid completely, by nature of even having more than a few features. You can still refer to your list of 'activiated Features' (and currently this feature only appears once you disabled the button.) (You can also reset our settings to go back to YouTube defaults.) Anything could be labeled or come with an alert, but thats also complification in the eyes of other users. (You don't need to click a button unless it makes sense to you.)
----------
EDIT: Thanks, tough luck* - Almost there though! (*this confirms it is a rare bug. However we will be happy to fix it for you in time!) - Did you notice the last 4 Versions are all within a few days?😊 - If you go back a step further (3.223 or 3.899), then it works most-likely and you will have discover easily, at what version the bug starts🤩. (Finally, you probably have a rare computer or system? (and can see whats happening in the browser console?) bugs@improvedtube.com. BTW you can quickly try an extension in a private tab, with no other extension running just to make sure) -----------------
hi, thanks. Please understand some bugs are rare and bad luck. The bigger a project is, the less likely you run into any, but it can't be excluded completely. To find it fastest you might need to report more details ( https://github.com/code4charity/YouTube-Extension/issues ). Also likely it just started yeserday and was not there in the prevous versions, which you can still get. Many Features: Yes, browser extensions are unfortunately supposed/presented to be small/single-purpose. Still we are providing a 100 of the most wished and requested features without 100 times more success than easy extensions. This is also much more teditious than making our own site which would be fun/need no maintenance. We are volunteers working hard. Youtube has a billion times more money than us. So you might not want to give 1 star, to support the cause getting anywhere near as much visiblity, as it deserves (and consequently even faster fixes) Many smiles!

- Valutata 1 su 5di Utente Firefox 17790593, 2 giorni fa
- Valutata 4 su 5di hitesa277, 6 giorni faAdd way to remove the mixes youtube makes on every video? Thanks for help.
- Valutata 5 su 5di Seb, 6 giorni faInsane amount of options. Needed to calibrate the website precisely and it did everything I needed and more. Just wish I had found out about the extension sooner.
- Valutata 3 su 5di MixuQ, un mese faAfter the last video I added the queue always play automatically +1 video random.
- Valutata 5 su 5di Machy7, un mese faI only use this addon for setting the quality of videos to 1080p, and it does that, so its cool.
- Valutata 5 su 5di THX1138, un mese faLeider bremst diese Erweiterung das laden der Youtube Videos aus. Zur Zeit gibt es Probleme mit der Anzeige der Theme-Farben. Trotzdem vielen Dank!
- Valutata 4 su 5di Utente Firefox 18811424, un mese fa
- Valutata 3 su 5di LK, un mese faSo, I installed this for the sole purpose of having Youtube playlists in reverse order but this is not working
There are quite a few features that are interesting but this extension causes some bugs as well. All videos start and then go back to the beginning after one second or so
The tweaks that work are great but if the page load is heavy and the features I'm most interested in don't work I cannot justify using this extensionReplica dello sviluppatore
pubblicato il 2 giorni fahi, youtube's DOM >1mb and video are heavy on old hardware. The extension is generally lightweight and will be optimized further and updated regularly. That 'bug' may was a workaround with a feature (Autoplay off) that was better for that feature than failing and improved in the latest version. Still users may not enable too many features to remember all at once. And we may add extra clues / statistics for any workarounds eventually. - 1. When hiding the home feed/page, the top buttons still stay visible.
2. There should be a way to jump to the last/latest video watched in a playlist without removing videos.
3. Please add an option to restore the old YouTube look (old player, thumbnails, square icons, etc.).
4. The delete videos button works, but it also opens the 3-dot context menu at the same time.
5. The remove videos slider only appears in Watch Later playlists, not other playlists. - Used to be good in the past. Now not so much. While there are a lot of great options i consider a must have, sadly it makes youtube tabs extremely heavy and also near unusable. The YT interface becomes laggy and tabs freeze constantly.
Worse is that it happens on both Chrome and Firefox on two different PC's. (even worse is that performance issues have been present for a long time now, they just got worse and worse over time with each update)
Since the last update, i can't even open the settings anymore, it just says "asking your browser what settings you made here before" (on the FF PC) so i can't even export my settings (or more importantly, the watched list) anymore.
Sadly all of that means that the addon is unusable and simply does not work as intended anymore.
I hope it will improve at some point, but for now i can do nothing but to remove the addon for good, from all my devices.Replica dello sviluppatore
pubblicato il 2 mesi faIt is working well and we are catching up with Youtube changes often.
Please make a bug report, including any errors you might see with F12.
Please avoid wrong reviews.
Please be precise - possibly it is slow with one specific option enabled? (1 in 300)
thank you Replica dello sviluppatore

pubblicato il 2 mesi faunlikely unless your storage device is locked or broken! please double check what you are doing (m.youtube.com support is limited) and make a bug report if still necessary. https://github.com/code-charity/youtube
thanks- Valutata 4 su 5di Utente Firefox 18603228, 3 mesi fa
- While the features this addon provides are great, I am unable to use any of them because every time I attempt to install this extension, my computer becomes unusably laggy regardless of whether youtube is active or not. My computer gets so laggy that youtube videos are no longer able to play. Am not sure if this is an issue on my end or on the developer's end but this extension is completely unusable for me.

pubblicato il 2 mesi faPlease check the browser console F12 and make a bug report https://github.com/code-charity/youtube Please disable your features one by one to find the breaking one. If real, of course this is important and urgent (yet also unlikely even two reviews in a row saying "my computer is slow" mean nothing real, since the thought is contagious.) - Valutata 1 su 5di Utente Firefox 13507781, 3 mesi faFor the past few days, some YouTube pages in Firefox have been experiencing terrible page freezes. The built-in manager shows a load of 100% or even 200+%. When the add-on is disabled and the page is reopened, everything returns to normal.

- Valutata 5 su 5di nightmareci, 3 mesi faThe fit-to-window feature is mostly what I wanted, and it works properly. I wanted it to hide the recommendations column completely as I find those distracting, while having the video as large as possible without fullscreening the browser.
