來自 Gemini62167,1 年前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.

> 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.

- 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. 開發者回應

- 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.

張貼於 10 天前Please 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.) - 評價 1 分,滿分 5 分來自 Firefox 使用者 13507781,22 天前For 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.

- 評價 5 分,滿分 5 分來自 nightmareci,1 個月前The 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.

Otherwise we have no choice but ignore this (often these reviews are spam)- 評價 5 分,滿分 5 分來自 Firefox 使用者 19744331,1 個月前

- I really love this add on and I don't have a github to bug report, but I wanted to let the dev know that the blocklist isn't working properly. It isn't blacking out/shrinking down blocked content like it used to it just shows back up like nothing happened (both homepage and recommends). I did try clearing my cache to see if it was me but no luck. Appreciate the hard work!

張貼於 2 個月前Hi! Please consider by the nature of our work you might always find some feature requiring updates after changes to the Youtube website. Our feature automatically activated Youtube's button to shuffle playlists. You can also try if logging out makes a difference. - Im not sure how it is on desktop but it is really buggy on mobile firefox. Whenever you try to look into someone's channel and move to other taps such as the channel's home/videos, it just freezes. It doesn't let your reload nor get out of the page via return button. Also even when it works when you try to click the channel's other shorts it freezes. I tried turning on & off my phone but it still does it. Had to disable the addon.

張貼於 2 個月前hi! doesnt depend browser or OS much but m.youtube is a different website so only player features work but not layout. Please file a bug report at https://github.com/code-charity/youtube/issues looking for errors logged or adding more detail. Thanks
(This type or project should rather be rated for how it does the things it is meant to do not yet m.youtube or what youtube changes today, etc.)
