postet én måned sidenno (how many milliseconds would it have to take for you to be able to notice? and why not document & measure it with F12)- Vurdert til 2 ut av 5av Nick, én måned sidenHad to disable it 5 minutes after installing because it ramped up CPU usage by 30%-40%. Why is this? I haven't even toggled anything ON yet.
- Vurdert til 2 ut av 5av druidess, 2 måneder sidenIt makes YouTube look better also triggers its adblock detector :(
- Vurdert til 2 ut av 5av Ducko, 2 måneder sidenSadly this stopped working like a week ago and keeps freezing my video / tab / Firefox when using it.
I noticed it when the remaining time feature didn't work anymore then I tried turning it off / on. Kept freezing on me since then.Utviklerrespons
postet 2 måneder sidenthe feature just received an update. (please differ outdated feature vs actual freezing/ or cpu load) . You shouldn't be surprised when one in 200 features ever needs an update, but be surprised how our development team of 0 people keeps up with Youtube's changed like Sisyphus most of the time. (There might be guarantees for fast updated in future, if we get any funding.) - Vurdert til 2 ut av 5av kjamcu, 3 måneder sidenWhile it somewhat works, this extension is very unresponsive and Youtube starts freezing or acting unpredictably.

- Vurdert til 2 ut av 5av Devin Rozsas, 5 måneder sidenThe main reason I wanted this extension was to make Youtube stop spamming already watched videos, random playlists and useless shorts.
1) It doesn't block already watched videos, it just makes them less visible by hiding the thumbnail and dimming their links;
2) Sometimes it marks random videos as watched, but I never even clicked their links, even less watched them;
3) It cannot block playlists, as far as I used it;
4) It blocks shorts successfully AND entirely (not just dim their links).Utviklerrespons

- Vurdert til 2 ut av 5av Gemini62167, 7 måneder sidenA 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.Utviklerrespons
postet 7 måneder sidenHi! :)
> you will have to hit the extension pinned to your toolbar to get it to begin functioning
in the current firefox you have to first allow extensions to run always.
you don't sound like giving this free public service less than 5 stars (what makes one greedy or believing in negative-motivation?)
Ads: the features hides all banners and tries to skip different version of the skip button it is just one in 200 features, not relevant, not unique and we might stop or separate it for legal clarity https://github.com/code-charity/youtube/issues/2751#issuecomment-2560581960 (read all by @improvedtube)
BTW currently a bug might disables a few more features unnecessarily and unfortunately firefox has not viewed the fix yet since December 29. - Vurdert til 2 ut av 5av Rash, 8 måneder sidenI am on android Firefox 133.0 with ImproveTube 4.1122
Ad block isn't working
"Shorts" hiding on homepage isn't working - Vurdert til 2 ut av 5av frikdt, ett år sidenFor an award-winning Firefox-supported extension I find documentation on the provided functionality sorely lacking. I installed this mainly for the blocking feature, hoping to replace the retarded native youtube algorithm. After a frustrating hour or two, unable to figure out how the blocklist is supposed to work, checking the extension documentation, their home (github) page, and even returning to this installation page, I'm giving up.

postet ett år sidenhi! :) yes! this has been an very special uphill race for 11.5 years - and no time to document enough (but you can can help us.) And blocklist appears in the lastest video review from a popular channel as stated in our wiki. You can enable it and then see a new block button on thumbnails and on channel pages. And more that you might suggest (maybe also a keyboard short cut to block the current channel?) - As a maintainer i care for unique features the most that). (aand luckily the blocklist feature got a whole overhaul / rewrite with these month and we can upload another update for it in a few days. (and you could help test that one already). - Vurdert til 2 ut av 5av Anonymous, ett år siden
- Vurdert til 2 ut av 5av J3ster, ett år sidenPros: Minimalist layout, probably does something there's a bunch of settings
Cons: Doesn't fix the garbage new layout which is the only thing I wanted it to doUtviklerrespons
postet ett år sidenBad/unfair. You should rate us for the many things we do already. (Who said we would predict every YouTube change immediately 24/7/365 and if you want it or don't want it? ~2x impossible) - Yet you can have a look in our list of topics in the bottom of the extension: https://github.com/code-charity/youtube/issues/2178 (Where you can see how. While you dont need us for this, we might also provide it soon to save you from copy&paste) - Vurdert til 2 ut av 5av octopiliar, 2 år sidenHas many good assets to youtube however my main problem seems to be the screenshot tab as any edit to the main youtube page takes a screenshot of whatever video I'm watching and I won't even realize until I have fifteen screenshots of the same image on my PC
- Vurdert til 2 ut av 5av metalrice, 2 år sidenThe thumbnails for blocked channels still show up on the home screen. Most of the thumbnail is blocked out except for the top portion.

postet 2 år sidenhi! please make a bug report on github https://github.com/code-charity/youtube/issues/new?assignees=&labels=Bug thank you!
(btw reviews are not supposed to be about a bug(, which might only happen to few people or because of a YouTube update.) This is one of the 3 reason here allowing to flag/remove them. To make it harder our project is an uphill race against this since 11 years and work never ends. There are few extensions as ambitious as this and actually it would deserve 10 stars. (If you expect a majority of features to work for you, then you are expecting more work and more reliability already than most 5-star extensions provide to their single purposes. Yet they are what the rating systems will thus prefer. ) We currently might aim at ~95% of the stuff working for you costing most of our free time. And if we ever get funded might finally hire people and develop even several times faster.) - Vurdert til 2 ut av 5av Firefox-bruker 12851851, 2 år siden

- Vurdert til 2 ut av 5av Toxic Raven, 3 år sidenThis addon had some nice features, but probably from a combination of youtube changing too much and the addon getting no updates, there are some wonky functionalities that I don't have the patience to deal with. Too bad, it was a good one for a while

postet 3 år sidenPlease wait for the update in Firefox. Also check us out in Chrome & Github. You might be surprised we work on this every day - Vurdert til 2 ut av 5av RiffRaffMama, 3 år sidenIt'd be great... if it worked properly! Any time I click on a video link in a Google search they won't play. When I disable this add-on the videos work fine, but with it enabled videos opened from a Google search load, but just won't play.

- Vurdert til 2 ut av 5av Dawn Boi, 3 år sidenThis extension added some new issues more than fix the ones I wanted to fix. The only reason I wanted this plugin was to have videos play from the beginning since I like to listen to music. There are two issues currently. One: Whenever I click the home screen or search another video, the video still plays in the background. That's annoying. Two: Sometimes whenever I click on the extension icon the video starts from the beginning with every click. The only option I changed was turning on forced play video from beginning (only thing I was interested in)

postet 3 år siden1. Miniplayer on the youtube homepage is a youtube feature, please check again?
2. should not happen, you dont have to click the extension icon usually, the site might only reload if you change something big like dark theme or video resolution
