Review by Dark with Green Highlights
by Dark with Green Highlights, 5 years ago
It works fine in my Edge browser. But in firefox, ALL customization I made in Setting don't change anything in my Youtube.

(edit1: Customization now somehow works. So, this review I undo)
(edit2: I agree with another reviewer that this Extension is FICKLE. For example, though I set the Sidebar in Appearance to be 'Collapsed'. One time, sidebar would be collapsed as set. Another time or in the next video, it acts normal, i.e. still shown.

================

And worse than that, though video is loading, it CANNOT be played. Every time I press the Play button it would immediately stop. Only when I turn off the extension, my Youtube starts playing again.

(edit: Videos can now be played normally after a new release)

hi! ohh sidebar Appearance? in future pageviews, or old tabs? We got 350.000 users but only 100 in firefox now. And spent soo much work for these 100. Lets see whats left to fix! thanks

Did you feel hurt? We are giving a free gift to the world and we are sensitive. The paused/stuck player can (only) have happened if you have disabled autoplay in ImprovedTube. So I just disabled this feature (version 3.186), since it became obsolete, since youtube has an autoplay button.

hi, it works, please try again. We work hard on Github & you can report any bug here: https://github.com/code4charity/YouTube-Extension (maybe you can reconstruct the issue & describe exactly. Thanks! Please adjust the bad stars. Many smiles!

    Generally amazing and great features. But I have 2 features I'd like to ask for. 1 being a separate grid size options for shorts and for the side bar on video player. While I'm not doom scrolling shorts, I'm sub'd to a few channels that put out great quality shorts that'd I'd like to view. Shorts are just really large compared to normal thumbnails. It's a balancing issue choosing between smaller thumbnails vs huge shorts. 2, Sidebar thumbnails feel huge after installing this extension. If you could include an option to reduce thumbnail size and increase video title space, that'd be great. But 2 is honestly just personal preference. I'm using Zen Browser if that makes any difference.

    While watching videos on YouTube, playback occasionally stops on its own. I am aware that the website has a feature that stops playback after 15 minutes of inactivity, but this seems to be a different issue.

    In addition, videos sometimes stop playing when I switch to another browser tab. In those cases, playback resumes as soon as I return to the YouTube tab. The behavior is somewhat similar to the YouTube mobile app, where playback may stop when the screen or app is switched.

    Both issues tend to occur near the beginning of a video rather than throughout the entire playback session.

    I did not experience these problems while the add-on was disabled, so I suspect there may be some compatibility issue between the add-on and a web service or browser feature.

    Absolutes MUST-HAVE. Theme-Farben werden wieder angezeigt. Leider im Kanal noch weiße Stellen! Trotzdem: Vielen Dank!

    really enjoy this addon as youtube is often very frustrating for me to use without it. though, the theme setting seems to be a bit buggy for me, and often doesnt use the secondary color and text color at all, and just uses default. other than this, very useful and i'd recommend :)

    piyasada işlevsel özellikleri olan uzantıları (unhook, shortsblock,youtube auto hd vb.) tek uzantıda derlemeye çalışmışlar gibi. ancak çoğu özelliği o tekil eklentilerden kullanmayı tercih ediyorum zira daha iyi çalışıyorlar.
