by Angel, 3 years agoUPDATED
Haven't tried the extension much. I mostly wanted to be able to adjust the playback speed with keyboard shortcuts.
FINDING SETTINGS. I found it tricky to find the settings/options for the extension. They can be found by clicking the navigation bar icon. If the icon is not visible in the navigation bar, click the extension icon (puzzle piece), and then the name of the extension (not the settings gear next to the name).
My initial review was just asking for instructions on how to find the settings, which has been requested several times before and still remained unanswered. The developer seems to take everything as a personal attack and interpreting low ratings as malicious, and rather than giving straight answers goes on rants and insult the reviewers.

posted 3 years agoEDIT: hi again Sir, we still didn't insult you at all. Most of all browser extensions are just used this way, with nav-bar icons most of the time. After installation the appear at the "puzzle piece", then people "pin" them. Browser changed this a few times in over the years. It is is no bad, if you aren't an expert of these particular facts, but as said this extension is made for the common and easy way only. In about 10.000 user messages i read this maybe 5 times, so it is highly unlikely to appear 3 times in a row in 2023. BTW. i even I took the time for to figure out enabling your preferred other way to call the options, which is available since 5 days now. If you don't care for the extension and didnt find an issue, you shouldn't even rate 4 stars. It is below our average of 4.52.
Thanks

Still unsure whats the joke. Why would you feel so strong here? It is very unlikely / paradox if you wait for this extension like christmas gifts and already know the features are good, yet already want to attack the giver / volunteers. You might not want to hurt enduring volunteers or be perceived as spam. One more time: You can review the answer. It is informative. Most of all extensions have a navbar-browser-icon. Searching for options in the browser's full extension list is a bit old /outdated way and if you open it like that, it is far from what we meant (, which is switching on features while you are on YouTube to see the effect immediately).

- Rated 4 out of 5by carrot, 2 days agoreally 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 :)

- Rated 1 out of 5by Thingman, 3 days agoOptions do not do anything, probably phising scam....
Only dark mode button did anything...
Piece of junk. Tried hard refresh etc. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13302641, 5 days agoFinally an addon that allows me make YouTube look the way I want!

posted 13 days agothat's just a new/experimental one. how many in 100s did you try?- Rated 3 out of 5by burak, 23 days agopiyasada 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.

- Rated 4 out of 5by hitesa277, a month agoAdd way to remove the mixes youtube makes on every video? Thanks for help.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Seb, a month agoInsane amount of options. Needed to calibrate the website precisely and it did everything I needed and more. Just wish I had found out about the extension sooner.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Machy7, 2 months agoI only use this addon for setting the quality of videos to 1080p, and it does that, so its cool.
- Rated 5 out of 5by THX1138, 2 months agoAbsolutes MUST-HAVE. Theme-Farben werden wieder angezeigt. Vielen Dank!

posted 13 days agothemes are updated,
if you happen to spot anything, then please make a bug report. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18811424, 2 months ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by LK, 2 months agoSo, I installed this for the sole purpose of having Youtube playlists in reverse order but this is not working
There are quite a few features that are interesting but this extension causes some bugs as well. All videos start and then go back to the beginning after one second or so
The tweaks that work are great but if the page load is heavy and the features I'm most interested in don't work I cannot justify using this extensionDeveloper response
posted a month agohi, youtube's DOM >1mb and video are heavy on old hardware. The extension is generally lightweight and will be optimized further and updated regularly. That 'bug' may was a workaround with a feature (Autoplay off) that was better for that feature than failing and improved in the latest version. Still users may not enable too many features to remember all at once. And we may add extra clues / statistics for any workarounds eventually. - Rated 5 out of 5by zeizey, 2 months ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by D_S, 3 months agoThe settings will not be retained. Every new page load is unchanged even though the settings are listed as active.

posted 3 months agounlikely unless your storage device is locked or broken! please double check what you are doing (m.youtube.com support is limited) and make a bug report if still necessary. https://github.com/code-charity/youtube

- Rated 1 out of 5by Mars, 3 months agoWhile the features this addon provides are great, I am unable to use any of them because every time I attempt to install this extension, my computer becomes unusably laggy regardless of whether youtube is active or not. My computer gets so laggy that youtube videos are no longer able to play. Am not sure if this is an issue on my end or on the developer's end but this extension is completely unusable for me.
Developer response
posted 3 months agoPlease check the browser console F12 and make a bug report https://github.com/code-charity/youtube Please disable your features one by one to find the breaking one. If real, of course this is important and urgent (yet also unlikely even two reviews in a row saying "my computer is slow" mean nothing real, since the thought is contagious.)
