- Rated 3 out of 5by voloman, 2 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 9 days 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, 2 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

I enabled "Auto Pause when switching tabs", but it works until I switch tabs 3 times, then it does not auto pause anymore.Developer response
posted 5 months agoworks! if you find any bug please report it specifically. Thanks - Rated 3 out of 5by Shajirr, 9 months 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 9 months 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, a year 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!

posted a year 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, a year ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by ducky, a year 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 a year 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'
