- Rated 1 out of 5by prikolist, 5 months agoMost of the options don't work reliably - random features are turned on that are marked as off in the app

This project doesn't deserve less than 5 stars. (there is nothing better by far filling the void in this niche)
- What you describe is a case of 'too complex' not 'too bad'. i.e. you got over 80 features in one. Maybe together we still 'only' spend 70 times more volunteer sweat than other guys concentrating on one feature only. Maybe the optimum will be 90 times more effort but nobody will have as much time alone. A volunteer focusing on the words in the menus and the structure could just appear today. We write about it every day.
More specifically Autoplay settings:
1. Maybe you ran into a bug. Youtube can update anything any minute. Often we react within hours, yet many features or are not urgent/'critical (and would not exist without us.)
2. Autoplay settings: The extension does nothing if you don't click anything.
(this is another reason why this should not vote down the project)
(Autoplay [On] just sympolizes youtube's standard)
- The extension has a list 'activated features', to keep track or you could use the button 'reset settings' to be sure.
(So it should be worth to learn some clicks for getting 80+ features in one. Probably it still is an advantage, even if you only try a few features in the next 10 years)
thanks! - Rated 4 out of 5by eirikr, 6 months agoHas a bunch of intriguing features, like being able to reproduce videos up to x8 speed, but unfortunately the one I downloaded it for (the ability to stop youtube's awful autoplay from turning back on with every video) did not work, even after restarting firefox.
Developer response
posted 5 months agohi Eirikr! it is called "Autoplay Up Next" for differenciation and because youtube called it "Up Next" until recently. Please also read the reply I gave just gave just above this one. (Chances are you will agree we still deserve 5 stars😊...) - Rated 3 out of 5by CureAngel, 6 months 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 6 months 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.

- Rated 2 out of 5by TerminallyChill, 6 months agoThe custom colour options doesn't allow you to customize the colours in the way the preset themes do, and all the preset themes are kind of ugly. Wish I had the same options to customize the colour of multiple elements the way the preset themes are.
Developer response
posted 6 months agohi! almost there. we can do that. you can join us at ttps://github.com/code4charity/YouTube-Extension .Please understand ugly is subjective and us doing something great for the world (nobody else does this work), will never be complete as we are just a few people. (With every answer there can be are more questions. )
