- Bewertet mit 2 von 5 Sternenvon Devin Rozsas, vor 3 TagenThe 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). - Bewertet mit 2 von 5 Sternenvon Firefox-Benutzer 18820010, vor 11 Tagen
- Bewertet mit 2 von 5 Sternenvon Gemini62167, vor 2 MonatenA 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.Antwort des Entwicklers

> 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. - Bewertet mit 2 von 5 Sternenvon Rash, vor 3 MonatenI am on android Firefox 133.0 with ImproveTube 4.1122
Ad block isn't working
"Shorts" hiding on homepage isn't working - Bewertet mit 2 von 5 Sternenvon frikdt, vor 8 MonatenFor 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.

geschrieben am vor 8 Monatenhi! :) 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). - Bewertet mit 2 von 5 Sternenvon Anonymous, vor 9 Monaten

geschrieben am vor 10 MonatenBad/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.

geschrieben am vor einem Jahrhi! 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.) - Bewertet mit 2 von 5 Sternenvon Firefox-Benutzer 12851851, vor einem Jahr

- Bewertet mit 2 von 5 Sternenvon Toxic Raven, vor 2 JahrenThis 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.

- Bewertet mit 2 von 5 Sternenvon Dawn Boi, vor 3 JahrenThis 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)

geschrieben am vor 3 Jahreno bug desapareceu! :) (encontramos uma solução e dissemos ao firefox que é urgente).
----------
hi :( funciona bem no 95.0.2 para nós e para a maioria das pessoas. (Deve ser um problema específico com sistemas específicos ou talvez aconteça durante uma atualização do Firefox para todas as extensões e não podemos alterá-lo) Por favor, inspecione o menu com o console do navegador e me diga quaisquer erros que você possa ver. Você também pode tentar a versão mais recente em https://github.com/code4charity/YouTube-Extension#-install-from-source

Trabalhamos nisso diariamente de graça desde 9 anos, apenas para satisfazer 400.000 usuários. - Bewertet mit 2 von 5 Sternenvon Buddi, vor 3 JahrenPowerful extension, however UI is buggy in Firefox version, stuff like mouse wheel for volume is not assignable in the shortcut section.
Often times need a full browser restart for functions to appear correctly.
Edit for Dev: I'm one of the people who reported it as a bug on github, however i also see that the extension hasn't been updated for Firefox for more than 6 months.
I wish I could make it a daily driver, but having to use Chromiums buggy JS integration has me coming back to Firefox.
Also please make mini player position assignable, so that its possible to not just have it in the top left corner. Scrolling to comments with the video in view is a godsent.
Unsure what creates the need for restarts, but i found that features just wouldn't change, might be my configuration, regardless it's been enough to avoid the features menu entirelyAntwort des Entwicklers
geschrieben am vor 3 Jahren2022: Sorry to notify you late, but please try again!! :)
2021: Hi! the mouse wheel shortcut assignment is a (the only) known firefox-bug yet (already in our Github Issues). Please report every other bug you might find. Do you know scroll wheel shortcuts from our Chrome version (or why would you miss it)? Our UI generally runs well in all Browsers and deserves 5 stars.
(Why do you do restart the browser? if you want you can reload any extension alone but it shouldnt be necessary) thanks! - Bewertet mit 2 von 5 Sternenvon Firefox-Benutzer 17008516, vor 3 JahrenGood in theory perhaps, or for other functions, but I wanted one thing and one thing only: to play a playlist in reverse order. And sure, it shows the playlist in reverse order. Until the page refreshes, such as going to the next video, where it hops back and forth between original order and reverse order, and it doesn't actually play the videos in the reverse order. This completely defeats the purpose. I still have to manually pick the next video from the playlist, or YT will play the previous one.
I'd much prefer an extension that would let me save the playlist in reverse order. Then the extension would only have to do its job once instead of failing to do it with every new video.Antwort des Entwicklers
geschrieben am vor 3 Jahren2022: Please try again!! :) (We found a great solution and there is no alternative)
2021: Hi, this feature was fixed / completed in our new version at https://github.com/code4charity/YouTube-Extension. Our Firefox version started recently. Yet we look forward to update the Firefox version soon and often.
I understand 'reverse playlist' is a legendary feature as people miss it. (Because other projects, providing this feature only, resigned, despite they had many users. Because youtube changed this repeatedly.) Thus we temporarily removed the feature from our descriptions.
Yet that is not what you can possibly rate here. What you are rating can only be our whole work with 100 features and an insane amount of work. That's how we always called and describe. Yet your rating actually has a (negative) impact - Bewertet mit 2 von 5 Sternenvon UPukaJRm, vor 4 JahrenI decided this add on did too much and I was concerned about the company's revenue model. So I removed the add on but my YouTube stayed stuck in Dark Mode. I added it back on, disabled the Dark Mode theme, removed the add on again BUT it was still stuck in Dark Mode. I rolled back to a back up from 2 days ago. I do not recommend this add on.
Antwort des Entwicklers
geschrieben am vor 4 Jahren2022: Can you please reconsider this?
2021: Hi :) Dark Theme is only Youtube's setting anymore. (top right menu of on www.youtube.com!) - We might rename it to be clear "Dark(from youtube)". (The other themes, including black/OLED are made by us) (you could also use our button to remove Youtube's cookie).
You might easily notice the addon runs 100% offline & does nothing (until you tell it to edit your youtube styles or playback). And that the code is open & pure. Please review our volunteer initiative: https://github.com/code4charity/Youtube-extension. Please revise the star rating.
Many smiles! - Bewertet mit 2 von 5 Sternenvon LezBoyd, vor 4 JahrenI downloaded it for one singular purpose, which is for reversing playlists. But this is a very fickle feature, and hasn't worked for me yet.
First, it would un-reverse the playlist as soon as it loaded the next video. I restarted Firefox and this no longer happens, but it still auto-plays the next video as per the original order instead of the reversed order.
So either I am missing out on configuring something, or this is a bug in the extension that needs fixing. I hope the developer responds to this and helps me out.
Answer to Developer: "reversing Playlists works visually only + reverses skip buttons. yet youtube's autoplay doesn't consider the reverse order" - This is important information to mention in your extension's description. Also, you do not have a help section to explain the various features in detail at your website. Your website seems focused only on reporting issues before writing a review, and not really helping your user understand how to use your extension.
When one reads "reverse playlist" the natural expectation is that it also reverses the auto-play order, not just the visual order. Why would I want to just view a list in reverse? I would most llikely also want to play it in reverse. Maybe this is why this feature is getting so many complaints. I would suggest either updating your description to say "reverse playlists (visually only, does not reverse play order)", or reverse the play order also when "reverse playlist" option is enabled.
Anyway, having said that, I did try out other features and so far they work well, and the interface is also clean and easy to navigate. But I was looking for an extension to help me play lists in reverse order, which your extension claimed to do, but doesn't. Hence, I am not going to update my rating. I will definitely give you better rating if you fix this.Antwort des Entwicklers

2021: hi! =) oww sorry, first time you tried? This is the least singular extension...( Likely you find more features useful. We try hard: https://github.com/code4charity/YouTube-Extension/issues?q=playlist+reverse+ - Should we split this into 100 extensions, to have a deserved amount of success?) - Yes, reversing Playlists works visually only + reverses skip buttons. yet youtube's autoplay doesn't consider the reverse order. - Hopefully we can still fix this futureproof - But if Youtube changes break it again we will just have to remove the word "reverse" from the descriptions... (unless we get funding to work on everything all the time). (Unfortunately this feature brought the most negative reviews. We got resilience in catching up, but a feature should not cost as much & harm the project, while other nice features need no updates for very long periods of time.) Appreciated if you update the stars.
