— Gemini62167, pred 9 meseciA 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.

> 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.

- Ocenjeno z 2 od 5— Uporabnik Firefoxa 13519399, pred 7 uramiThey removed autoPiP on Firefox, which was the main reason I was using this extension
- Ocenjeno z 5 od 5— Lilith D. Bracken, pred 8 uramiI 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.
- Ocenjeno z 1 od 5— Uporabnik Firefoxa 18744393, pred 2 dnevomaI 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.
Edit: I can see the "tracked videos" counter going up, but all the videos I have watched are still visible on my subscriptions and main page. Also, "can't refresh" means F5 and the refresh button in the browser are not responsive until I close the tab with YouTube.Odgovor razvijalca
objavljeno ob pred 19 uramiyou 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 - Ocenjeno z 5 od 5— Vin, pred 4 dnevi

- Ocenjeno z 4 od 5— Hrodvitnir, pred 16 dneviI'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.

objavljeno ob pred 15 dnevihi :) (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. - Ocenjeno z 4 od 5— Uporabnik Firefoxa 19438257, pred 17 dnevi

- Ocenjeno z 3 od 5— stapuft, pred 24 dneviWorks 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.

objavljeno ob pred 20 dneviHi! 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.) - Ocenjeno z 5 od 5— PP, pred enim mesecemSeems to work for me. Haven't come across any issues for my uses
- Ocenjeno z 5 od 5— Lakyn, pred enim mesecem
- Ocenjeno z 5 od 5— MetalGear89, pred enim mesecemFantastic add one. Youtube is awful to use on desktop without it.
- Ocenjeno z 2 od 5— Uporabnik Firefoxa 19465923, pred enim mesecemThemes 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

objavljeno ob pred 20 dnevihi! youtube changing is not an issue we share every day. - Ocenjeno z 5 od 5— Uporabnik Firefoxa 18989911, pred enim mesecem
- Ocenjeno z 3 od 5— ueeu, pred enim mesecemVery 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 pageOdgovor razvijalca
objavljeno ob pred 20 dneviYou 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. - Ocenjeno z 5 od 5— Vangxim, pred enim mesecem
