- Rated 4 out of 5by zhiv, 3 days agosome videos are unwatchable with this add-on, they instantly auto-pause whenever i press play. All auto-pause options are disabled so not sure what's going on here. I found the workaround is to put video in picture-in-picture mode, press play, then put it back to normal again. I would've give 5 stars if it isn't for that problem
- Rated 4 out of 5by GoogleRefugee, 4 days agoreally nice, i only wish that the custom theme color select allowed you to either input a HEX -code or RGB values, the way it currently is makes selecting a specific color way too hard

- Rated 4 out of 5by GankMeme, a month agoIs there a way to automatically popup a video while playing if I move the mouse down to read the comments section? Then back to normal view if I move up again, automatic. Hope you can add that feature. Thanks. edit: middle mouse button scroll wheel (press middle button) not working after installing this. Only happens in youtube.

posted 17 days agohi, yes we have a customizable mini-player feature! :) - middle button is abug in firefox, which we reported and should be gone soon. We also made a remedy for. - Rated 4 out of 5by puzfighter, a month agoThe ad removal feature doesn't seem to work since Youtube can detect an adblocker running and disable videos from showing. It displays a prompt to disable any adblocker first.Otherwise this extension is near perfect.

posted 17 days agoplease dont vote us down for this. Adblock is just 1 in 100 features. - Rated 4 out of 5by n1_1n, 3 months agoeverything good, but currently if a set speed x2, it just work for the first video, later, another videos is at x1 speed
- Rated 4 out of 5by AndyArtistics, 3 months agoIt normally works really well.
But within the last couple days it's not auto-playing the start of playlists despite the fact that i never turned that function off in the extension. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17624452, 4 months agoI have a problem in Full Player, when i'm in full screen i see a white gap below, and this is cause by Player Size Full Height (Appearance>Player>Player Size> Full Height) but this is annoying because i use that option when i'm not in full screen to make the video player more bigger, but when i use full screen i see a white gap space like a footer.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17983202, 4 months agoReally great, but it overwrites my dislike for youtube add-on, maybe you could bake it into this extension so that it works properly?
- Rated 4 out of 5by er_JuLi3v2, 5 months agoThe middle mouse button doesnt scroll in the videos, yes in subscriptions. When the add-on is disabled it works well. Do you plan to solve it? Because I have seen comments 3 months ago with this bug and the bug remains the same. I like extension but this for me is a big problem.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Raphaël74, 6 months agoThere are options that I don't see. Is there a specific way to activate them ? Eg. I don't see any Reverse Playlist button. EDIT : ok I found it.
- Rated 4 out of 5by ShoWel, 6 months agoReally, the only thing I lack is hardware acceleration on Linux. I loved this feature in Windows and miss it dearly

(+ 5 Stars please ) - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16921071, 8 months agoThe "collapse comments" option is bugged, the dropdown won't show up. The extension is also messing with the text color of the buttons of the video page. The toggle to hide certain buttons (such as Clip and Thanks) is bugged as well, please fix!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Katsui, 8 months agoworks great but current bug where middle-mouse click scroll does not work randomly on certain video pages.

posted 7 months agothanks for your review! can you give some examples? as far as i knew yet this problem happens always? - Rated 4 out of 5by LonWolfDan, 8 months agoEverything works well so far with this extension but, I immediately noticed a strange bug.
On the YouTube Homepage, the thumbnails of each video that shows, have become invisible. I say "invisible" because, if I hover over the video, for a brief second, the thumbnail appears but quickly disappears??
I also found out that, it's this extension itself that is causing this. When I disable the extension, everything goes back to normal, the thumbnails appear and don't disappear anymore. But, as soon as I re enable the extension, the same bug occurs.
Please reply back to this review as soon as you can please and let me know what could be happening here, I'd appreciate it!Developer response
posted 8 months agowe fixed it at about the same time as your review. However Store updates can take day
"Next Listed Version: 4.6"
if any bug remains, we should find out exactly. Please join us on Github. And paste F12 console errors in reports, or anything). - Rated 4 out of 5by Aarya, 8 months agoIt was great until the extension kept on redirecting me into channel posts whenever I clicked on a video or scrolled on the YouTube homepage.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17776553, 9 months agoThis addon is great, but it won't keep subtitles on. I selected "Subtitles" under Player>Subtitles. Reinstalling it didn't fix this issue.

- Rated 4 out of 5by irripod , a year agoIt is a good one. It made my other YouTube adjustment add-on redundant, while also bringing new functionality. My only complaint is that it turns the page to Dark Mode all the time, no matter what I do. It would be great if the develepers could fix that. // Thank you for the response. Unfortunately, the improvement comes with a setback. I can now switch the dark theme off, but instead the Home tab produces glitches. If I start from there, it never loads, and the line of tags on top is flickering. I have changed the settings to start from the Subscriptions, and going from there to the Home tab results in inconsistent behaviour. Unpredictibly, previews are loaded in two columns or four.

posted 10 months agobetter? you tried our darkmode switch and it used to be sticky. we might just remove it. to reset it, you can set in the top right of youtube or remove the youtube cookie. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 15166984, a year agoIn my review 6 months ago I mentioned this add-on needed an updated. Well, it's now been a year since this was updated and Youtube has gone through some major design changes since then. Sad really because it had promise.
