Review by Firefox user 17368555
Rated 5 out of 5
by Firefox user 17368555, 2 years agoI've been using this extension for many months and I must say, it changed my life.
I used to spend 8 to 12 hours a day on average watching youtube videos and couldn't bring myself to do anything else. I had developed an addiction to scrolling through the home feed and mindlessly watching recommended video after recommended video non-stop all day.
After installing this extension (and also NewPipe on my phone) I slowly stopped watching so much youtube and, not only that, since I could only see my subscriptions, I would gear these towards my personal interests and the skills I wanted to learn.
Nowadays I only get around 10 to 15 videos a day on my subscriptions feed (I'm subbed to 182 channels in total) and watch 2 to 5 videos at most, some of which have to do with learning computer science, programming and cybersecurity which are topics I've been very interested in lately. And I don't watch these videos mindlessly anymore, since I want to learn more about these topics I've started to study them, write down the things I learn and then either apply what I've learned or look further for more videos on the topic at hand, all without the distraction of the home feed or the recommendations bar on the right side.
Thanks to the creator for making such a good extension and for changing my life, and possibly the lives of many others :)

- Rated 1 out of 5by Radbert Grimmig, 3 days agoApparently no more legacy support for Windows 7, which I had to find out over weeks myself while trying to find out why it stopped working from one day to the next.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18358573, 22 days agoOn Android, it does hide the comments, which makes me really happy, but then you also can't open the description any more, which I generally do find useful. The "more" button for the description is still there, but when you click it, the description does not appear, and you can no longer scroll the recommended videos below. Also, when playing a playlist, the list of next videos on the playlist disappears.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Veniamin, 22 days agoSince all saved playlists are now packed in one section, the extension makes them invisible when you push tab "Playlists". Is there any solutions or will be in the future?
Edit: 04/21/2024. Playlists are now visible with the extension. Thank you, dev! Pog - Rated 5 out of 5by JudgeJerkoftenough, 25 days ago
