posted 2 years agoHi there, read again maybe? Whats not supposed to do here is misplacing support requests in reviews. Be assured an author's comment can be relevant more easily. You might not want to launch wrongful attacks here either like "wildly inconsistent".

Hi there, several people confused the number of options and how specific they are: Autoplay means if a video is starting to play at page load without a click. Disabling "Up next Autoplay" is another features that you want to use separately (or both, your choice).
(Most of our users yet bring the interest/geek to watch up to 100 switches. )
Also please consider that no matter what we work for free since 11 years and 100s of times than most extensions with a single feature never requiring an update. So we deserve more than 5 stars. Our features are consistently developed and some might (or might not) temporarily have issues after YouTube changes. (Since YouTube doesn't announce these changes, it is the best we can possibly do. The only hope to manage this 24/7 service perfectly is many users and luckily we grow. Slowly tho. With every bad and inaccurate review it gets worst, my hope goes down. That's the purpose of review. You decide if you want such to be attempted any further or just not bother, or even vote it down to make it stop existing.)

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19533654, 18 days agoFinally, an extension to block those pesky and pointless shorts and member only content that actually works. Thank you creators, you truly made YouTube usable again. Love all of the customization as well.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13868360, 19 days agoFinally something that just works and have what I want!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16768472, 22 days agoThe performance is very bad and the developer doesn't seem to be willing to fix it. Furthermore some features are missing and the ones that do exist don't work reliable, probably because of the very bad performance.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18986140, a month agoThis extension doesn’t perform as advertised! I’m not sure what people like about it or why it receives high reviews, but it fails to fulfill the primary purpose for which I downloaded it. I wanted it to remove “Shorts” from my search results and home page. While it does partially remove them from my home page, it does nothing to improve my search results. Regardless of which toggles I activate, every search is completely filled with “Shorts,” rendering this extension useless for my needs.
- Rated 4 out of 5by RaXelliX, a month agoAs of today Youtube changed the right side sidebar design. Now it has huge thumbnails. 3x less information density.
Unfortunately the only thing i can do within the addon is simply to hide the sidebar as none of the other settings like displaying only the titles etc no longer work. Likely due to code changes by YouTube.
Hope you get it working again in the coming weeks so i can go back to 10 suggested videos, instead of 3. - Rated 1 out of 5by Betablockr, a month agoIt simply doesn't work for the mobile YouTube site, only the desktop site which is unfortunate
- Rated 3 out of 5by MKP, a month agoIn general, a nice add-on.
But: It's not actually "light weight", it slows the browser down and sometime prevents videos from playing. Besides that it will kind of switch off Adblock Plus and uBlock Origin if "allow ads" is turned on.
I was only looking for an add-on that presets video quality and playback speed, this is kind of an overkill for that purpose. - Rated 3 out of 5by Emmanuel, a month agoHi. There's a problem when opening YouTube videos that have chat. When I enable the "Appearance, Sidebar, Live chat, Hidden" option in Improve YouTube, instead of hiding the chat, half the video remains with a black box. Previously, when I enabled this option, the chat disappeared completely, and the video didn't have half the screen with a black box.
Could you please resolve this issue?
Regards. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18755129, a month agoI use this add-on primarily for removing shorts from Youtube. It works perfectly and saves me from brainrot. Soon after Youtube added the AI descriptions, an absolute disgrace of a feature, this add-on added the option to remove them too. Amazing work!
- Rated 2 out of 5by Riku70X, a month agoI just want a button to reverse a playlist. It's great when it works, but most of the time it just does not show up even though it's absolutely checked in the settings (other stuff works fine, I can change the themes easily, but the entire playlist section just does nothing)

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17661354, a month agoWith this extension you still can't like or dislike a song on youtube music website with any other window in focus. It's 2025. Youtube music website is 10 years old and you still have to alt tab and manually point and click like/dislike button. Unbelievable.
