Very slow (even by youtube standards), whatever what the dev will say: sometimes takes almost a minute to load a youtube video, and often will fail to load the full page, with the comments.

Very buggy: again, often failing to load a page fully, the mini-player suddenly not appearing anymore when scrolling down, or among many others, the limiting to H.264 not working reliably (to be fair, it only reliably works with enhanced-h264ify, whichever main youtube extension I use). Even the menu is buggy: the search bar will always cover the link to go back in the menu (so one has to close that search bar again and again), and if used in the extension panel (as opposed to using it pinned), it won't even fit the window properly, lol!

Fortunately, I discovered a little used extension (Tweaks for youtube: only about 3k users, which is baffling), that is great where Improve youtube isn't at all. I tested them all, and that's the only one I'll keep.

amazing, simply put. I wish they had more playlist features though

Best Extension For Youtube ever!

ich kann diese Bewertungen NICHT LESEN. Ich brauche eine Deutsche Sprache! Sonst nützt mir das alles NICHTS !!

The lag is real and not just a myth, please don't just deny it instead try to fix the issue.

My youtube is lag heavily for at least couple months (I even switch to freetube but switch back because it got some problems too).

I tried browser switcher and many things but never solve the problem. Pretty much youtube will lag heavily (pause and move 5 second can take over 5 seconds to respond) after I use it for more than 5-10 minutes.

Today I just remove the extention and the problem solved. I've been using youtube for at least over 3 hours now and there's no lag anymore.

Please don't say any excuse and try to fix the issue.

I usually only open less than 5 tabs on my browser and saying that you guys are just some volunteer is not a reason to not fix your extention.

Excelent Add-On. Works like a charm. Feature requests:
1. Option to default disable auto-dubbing aka always choose different dub than English if available, which can't be set in YT's own settings :( I'd like to have auto translated subs, but n.e.v.e.r auto translated dubs. I rather understand nothing & be forced to learn than to be kept dumb
2. Stop the audio-volume & image-quality reset when switching to mini-player. When one searches while playing a playlist the playback switches to mini-player mode (so the playback doesn't break while getting some results). However, if you changed the volume from the set default volume level (bc some creators speak louder while others speak quiter), the volume and video quality (in case that was what you changed) levels are reset to the default level. Please fix that.
3. A search field above the playlists add-to popup. I've watched youtube since day 1 back in 2005 and I've build up quite a library of playlists over the years to organise the vids I like/-d or find/found interesting and wanna save. So much so, that I now sometimes unknowingly end up remaking playlist (names) or alternate version bc I didn't know I already had a matching list to save to. Plus, when I do remember (99.9%), I sometimes need to scroll through all the lists to find the matching list to save to, which can be troublesome bc when scrolling on normal speed, the matching list can easily be overlooked by accident, leading to rescrolling and rescrolling and rescrolling till I finally find the list

Suspected performance issues ongoing since late autumn early winter 2024 - currently operating Firefox with extension disabled and haven't had to restart for over 24hrs. Will try to follow up in a week or so.

OMG! This addon is too powerful, it makes YouTube so much customisable. I love it. I hope it will be continuously developed and updated. It also blocks ads in built, so useful. The 1-star reviews r not true, and i hope this project will hav continued donations. Unfortunately, i aint got the money to donate :(

Btw its not a bot review :)

A fairly decent extension for YT except that it is losing some of the most desirable functions for some reason. The skip ad feature doesn't work at all no matter what option you choose.

I wouldn't mind the ads so much and let many of them play except for the fact that most of them are so ridiculous, it's like a video example of the kind of ads you find in the National Enquirer. They're utterly unbelievable (or should be), but for whatever reason it appears the same kind of marketing and advertising laws and regulations just don't seem to apply on the internet. You can claim just about anything or misrepresent, twist and bend truth with fact to confuse people into believing things with abandon. Its the same kind of tactics the consrevativce media has been using increasingly since the 1980s. It's been going on for two generations now and trying to point this out, prove fallacy with fact is impossible. And for this, I don't think I nor anyone else should be required to watch this nonsense, I don't care if it's how these videos are monetized or not. Lying and manipulation for the sake of selling product is not an excusable reason. Sorry, I'm one of the few that still believes in ethics in this society. And really, as far as YT is concerned, it wouldn't exist at all if people didn't upload videos to begin with, so I'm not one to fall on my knees in tears over the plight of YT not making enough money to keep its investors happy. They could all go f**k themselves.

To continue...

As for the functions of this extension that seemed to have ceased to work, the mixer section does not register any open tabs and thus does not work. And, should you reload your page you will have to hit the extension pinned to your toolbar to get it to begin functioning at all with those options that still work. Sad really. Because for what it is supposed to do, it offers much in a very compact and easy to use design.

Great, but the video quality is as if you put a face-softening filter on. I prefer a natural video

was working for a period of time but in the last month any settings used would lag youtube; back button and pause taking forever.
removed extension and youtube stared working again, unfortunate as it was a good addition :/

because of this extension, YouTube started to hang heavily on my PC, which eventually results in a banner saying that the tab slows down firefox, the same thing on the second PC, but it freezes TIGHTLY.
the exclusion method revealed this extension. oh, it inspired great hopes 😭😭😭

ok, I won't rate it "unfairly".

Please add an option to move the position of YouTube's subtitles. I believe this feature is built-in on PC, but it's not available on Android. Adding it would be a great improvement.
