- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18074238, 6 days agoI added this extension specifically for it's function to reverse youtube playlists, but I don't see the button to do it.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Solace_In_Rage, 3 months agoI liked features like the revers by age button, but I recently started getting an error where any video with annotations would turn the loop video option on, and disabling this extension was the only fix. I'll keep checking back in case of a fix because I liked it, but for now I need the playlists to play properly more than I need the extras this brings.

posted 5 months agohi! what do you mean? the screenshot & rotate button are visually fitting in & almost too far from the player. They are the only "lifeSign" from our extension by default, for new users. If they dont like it they should go have a look in the menu - or i guess uninstall if they forget it all - thats just the nature of it all. Many smiles! 5 stars only please. Even 4 harms. - Rated 3 out of 5by Kindle, 5 months agoNot sure why but this extension really likes screenshots. Whenever I change any setting it takes a screenshot. Not only that, but for whatever reason, when I click on the "Themes" tab it takes 8 screenshots. It could be a compatibility issue with another extension but I can't be bothered to check right now.

posted 6 months agoHi, its impossible. firefox only has their own Picture in Picture button. We disabled the button in Firefox.- Rated 3 out of 5by Piotr, 7 months agoI wish this extension could add new filters f.e.: for video duration and upload date.

posted 7 months agohi! :) you can add a youtube API key, https://github.com/code-for-charity/ImprovedTube-for-YouTube/wiki/%F0%9F%9B%88-YouTube-API:--How-to-generate-your-Youtube-API-key - Rated 3 out of 5by Özkan, 8 months agoThis add-on contains lots of bugs. First; it extends the lenght of player so if video is 16:9 it becomes much more long in player base and i have black bars on top and bottom of the video. My YT home page and YouTube users' profile pages also broken because of this add-on. They solved lots of bugs so i am just turning it off for now, i wish they can solve new issues without any more time.
Edit: "Limit Page Width" solved the bug which i mentioned (video width and home, profile pages). Thanks. But changing thumbnail quality breaks thumbnails to gray boxes.Developer response
posted 8 months agohi! homepage is a bug only when you use the extension to remove youtube's page-width limit. hope to see you again with more stars - Rated 3 out of 5by voloman, 10 months agoThere's a lot of promise here, but there's no polish. Some features work great, until you move/resize the screen. Some features don't work the way you'd want them to. No volume controls for the mouse wheel. It will eventually be a contender with "Enhancer for YouTube™" but I'll give it 6 more months in the oven until I try it again.

posted 8 months agohi! ♥ 4.0.17.1 will be live in Firefox any moment with ~100 improvements. Unfortunately we lost our maintainer in 2022, but are getting back on track. We are over 500000 active users and only 1-3 active developers. Every volunteer will help https://github.com/code-for-charity/ImprovedTube-for-YouTube - Rated 3 out of 5by Yuli, 10 months agoCould you make the custom shortcuts work in another tab or while using PIP? I'd like to use rewind-forward keys from outside Youtube
- Rated 3 out of 5by JAG, a year agoNo update since January 2022.
Youtube has updated her design and the thumbnails won't showing.
Please update this extension.Developer response

I enabled "Auto Pause when switching tabs", but it works until I switch tabs 3 times, then it does not auto pause anymore. - Rated 3 out of 5by Shajirr, a year agoSeems to be incompatible with BlockTube - with both addons active the YT video is unplayable, it gets paused as soon as you start it, every time, and page refreshes do nothing.

posted a year agohi! thats not a reason to vote us down :(
join us at https://github.com/code-for-charity/youtube-extension
(where we try to improve features and structure all the time. you might be surprised. if you post the issue there, chances are avolunteer will have a look, even if you are the only one asking ever.)
many smiles!
to be more precise: we volunteer for this cause since 10 years for 500.000 users and 100+ feature. We can't know every other project, there are 1000s and most of them have just one feature and are not actively developed. (Please try to be fair in ratings) - Rated 3 out of 5by CureAngel, 2 years agoDisabling 60fps gets rid of HD options on the video which was the only reason I even downloaded this addon so sadly it's currently unusable for me. But the other customization options look amazing if you're into that sort of thing!
Developer response
posted 2 years agohi there. Please understand 60FPS itself is a HD option. What you tried is impossible sometimes, because YouTube will sometimes provide 4k only in 60fps. Most users who avoid 60frames per second might have an old computer.

this project doesn't deserve less than 5 stars - Rated 3 out of 5by lizaKgO, 2 years ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by ducky, 2 years agoI mainly want to use this addon for the bigger cinema mode.
When player size is set to "Fit to Window" upon reverting from cinema or full screen to the small player it will extend all the way to the right and overlap behind the video suggestions there.
Looks like the addon resizes the video player before youtube changes the position of the video thumbnails.

posted 2 years agoHi there! You can try it combined with 'force theater mode' (right below Player Size, so that it won't go to the small player)
Alternatively please disable general: 'limit page width', so there is more space + Player Size 'Full page'
