    everything is great, however...
    ... i'd love to see an option to select 'hide chat' as a default, instead of always showing the chat, on youtube live feeds.
    Hope you can help, ty.

    First let me say this extension is awesome! The auto expansion of video descriptions alone is a deal locker for me. Only Baris Derin's "YouTube High Definition" provided the feature in the past, but the option is defunct as of this writing.

    If not for a few features, YouTube Plus would be a one-stop solution for me. Instead, I need three other extensions:

    * Video Mouse Wheel
    * Grid Tube
    * HD Plus

    Video Mouse Wheel is the only extension to provide video position functionality via mouse scroll wheel. Grid Tube displays videos in grid view like YouTube Plus, but it also adds resolution indicators on the thumbnails. Finally, YouTube HD Plus lets me disable auto play for videos loaded in the background, ensuring only one video plays at a time.

    As I understand it, the publisher isn't accepting new feature requests due to the overhead involved, but if that were to change, the three features I've listed would be excellent additions.

    Thanks to the publisher for this great addon!

    Hey, very good addon. Features are very useful and icons below video window - Perfect!

    Good Job!

    Works OK:
    Firefox 52.0.2 (64-bitni)

    Hey, I know you don't accept features request anymore, but if you will consider doing it in future, please add auto expand on menu bar on left, it would be much appreciated. Couldn't find any script or add-on that does it and I know I am not the only one who would like that feature. Thank you for you work.

    Hello, I did not abandon Chrome, it was google who took down the extension without any explanation, forcing me to move to a different browser. You can read more about it here:

    I installed this on another computer a few days ago and here I am back for more! Man, not using this is shooting yourself in the foot. The only thing I regret is that I didn't even search for this than earlier this week for some reason?

    This addon worked as advertised. It was the perfect companion for everyone who watched YouTube regularly.
    YouTube had a lot of annoyances, but with YouTube+, all of this could be fixed.

    R.I.P. YouTube+ and many thanks to the author for providing such a great addon with regular updates and bugfixes. It's only a matter of time when Google will ditch the old layout completely.
    I wish there was an alternative for the new YouTube layout, but there is none. This addon is truly unique and no other addon has such a great set of features than this one.

    Hello Mario, I have decided begun working on a version compatbile with the upcoming YouTube layout. Once the alpha is ready it will be announced in the Github Repo, if you wish to try it out.

    It was going to take a lot to finally drag me away from Youtube Center, but this extension is very close to exactly what I wanted. Having the ability to hide the header (searchbar etc) automatically while videos are playing would make this the perfect extension. Having that and setting max page width to 100% is the best youtube viewing experience possible
  • by sensei, 8 years ago
    This is THE add-on you actually want when you use YouTube on a daily basis.
    Many useful features and awesome functions. Works also great with "YouTube Center" Script.

    One little feature that I would love being implemented is to have that tiny little video in the corner when actually browsing through youtube not only when reading comments.

    Still 5/5

    Anything that gives me control over what I want to see is practically an automatic perfect ten on my book. There are a lot of features that should honestly be baked in the website. Blacklisting channels, for example. Being able to see results in a grid instead of a dumb list. Being able to invert the order of a playlist (thus ensuring sanity instead of dealing with watching the episodes of your favorite webseries backwards because whoever created the playlist is an idiot). The floating player is genius. Toggling autoplay and preloading. HIDING THE COMMENT SECTION.

    May you live a long, prosperous life.

    It also works perfectly nice on Android (well, on the desktop version of the site, which is the One True Layout anyway if you have a large device such as a tablet).

    But needs, like, 100% more dark theme.

    Estou usando a pouco tempo porem ja achei bem agradável... cumpre o que promete
  • by chris p, 8 years ago
    At a glance, it seems buggy. For example, floating player while reading comments can't be disabled, the setting is unchecked yet it's still enabled. There may be other buggy settings but that is the first one I noticed right away after install. Thank you for bringing this java script to android in the form of this awesome add-on, I do hope the developer comes back to fix it but as is it'll do for now or till something better comes along.

    Hello Chris, this add-on is not Android compatible and I have already excluded it in AMO, but somehow people are still able to download it for Android when it shouldn't. I am sorry for this, but this is a problem with AMO, it is not in our control as developers.

    I've been using this add-on as a user script for years. Once it was removed from GreasyFork, I found it here. The main draw of this for me has to be the ability to block ads on videos from channels I'm not subscribed to. While I'm disappointed to see it stop development, I'm still planning to use it for as long as I possibly can. Someone please continue its development!
  • by Firefox user 12658691, 8 years ago
    It works great.
    Thank you for this extension.

    YouTube Plus is a very cool Add-On for YouTube. On must i like the Pop-Out Feature where you can watch the Video in a other Window. Please keep this wunderful World ^^
  • by sinekonata, 8 years ago
    It seems this is based on the Youtube Center UserScript which is awesome cause that script is incredible and this add-on has definitely improved upon it.

    Compared to YTC it lacks some awesome customizing functionality but nothing major.

    At any rate, it's stupendous (lol) so thanks a lot :D
  • by MrMystery, 8 years ago
    Hey this does what I want. I want to blacklist garbage video links.

    Shouts out to all the NoFap community! You can use this to block YouTube users that post stuff you don't want popping up on YouTube when you use it.

    If i get more money I'll probably donate to this developer

    Pode ficar muito melhor ainda, mas está excelente dessa forma.
  • by hamelkarl, 8 years ago
    This is the most complete Youtube add ons that works well on Firefox. It includes a lot of stuffs to customize your experience in the way you want it. Really liked that it can reverse the playlist, being able to navigate youtube with a nice grid system and that the it minimize the player in the right corner when scrolling down in the comments sections.

    It includes many other things, but those are the main one on why I use this add on instead of others mostly.

    Perfect Add-on.

    A great replacement for the old abandoned Youtube Center addon!
    It allows to tweak YT and make it more usable.
    Works correctly on FF49 x64.

    The features I like the most are:
    - Remove autoplay up next (so annoying)
    - Default video quality
    - Grid layout
    - Change volume with mouse wheel (even if it's a bit buggy)
    - Enable Pop-out mode (but I'd like an exception for the popup blocker)

    It misses these good ones from YC, however:
    - default player volume (expecially for YT players on external pages)
    - show likes\dislikes info on thumbnail (e.g: useful to identify the best videos in a playlist)
    - thumbnail preview animation (even if it stopped working a while ago)

    Recommended!
