Rated 3 out of 5
by CredibleFarce, 3 years agoThis new update screws with my OCD and broke how I use Youtube. Other people may like the new fancy look or filters but for me the update has no upsides. I miss the toolbar, which was great in or out of the comments section and didn't mess with the video; plus I liked the customization.
Replacing the toolbar with player controls means that to adjust playback speed with just the mouse I need to scroll over the video area and the popup controls cover part of the video. Ctrl+mousewheel isn't as convenient, nor is mapping keys to ditch the mouse. I adjust playback speed A LOT during videos so normal use now means I'll have lots of visual distractions. This is probably a good chance for me to use far less Youtube, since I notice I was relying on the previous version a lot.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Gllm, 5 days agoGreat extension, but since the last update in April the 18th, only 2 columns of videos are displayed on the desktop version when using a macbook 13 inches, so ones get 4 videos proposed in full screen compared to 6 before which is not comfy at all. Had to deactivate the extension. Please fix this and if you can add a function to chose how many videos suggestions you want to display (change the size), it would be great. Thx
- Rated 4 out of 5by FhantomPhreak, 5 days agoIt's a great plugin, does most of what I was wanting... But, can I request you add some way to automatically turn off ambient mode? I exclusively use dark mode and delete cookies on exit. I'm using a 2nd plugin just to turn off ambient mode.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13289695, 6 days agoLike many I installed this extension after the truly awful update that Youtube performed, placing comments off to the side in order to give us more videos to endlessly click on and distract us (this update also broke Return Youtube Dislikes which is an utterly crucial feature).
This extension works for that, and has some other features, but the one driving me crazy now is the one that pops up a video when we scroll down to read comments.
An excellent idea! However, I CANNOT GET IT TO WORK. Sometimes it pops up the video, other times it doesn't. It is maddening! Closing the window and using search to go back to the video often works... but, not always. Or similar things sometimes work, ... but, not always.
The uncertainty is so disturbing I unfortunately have to turn this feature off and do without it.
Hope something can be done!
ETA: I see that the when the popup video does not work, the toolbar is also not loaded. So that is some hint as to what is going on.
ETA: Following comments further down, I found that removing all the google and youtube cookies seems to fix this problem and it now seems to work perfectly! (Had to also restart firefox as some youtube icons disappeared) - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18059804, 7 days ago
