- Rated 3 out of 5by ueeu, 2 months agoVery good QQL feature add, however it is extremely performance intensive, do NOT use the build in theme feature 100% will slow down site responsiveness.
Also it would be nice to add a action menu because the YouTube ui keep changing so I can stop seeing buggy UI
Edit: CPU usage wise I think so, but it seems to also interfere with page loading, most of the time for me it's a blank pageDeveloper response
posted a month ago1. You mean a full page youtune replacement UI? 2. There currently is a CPU hungry bug only for the moment while you are changing our settings and only in Firefox.
EDIT: Blank page? why and how? Did you check the browser console before? If it is related to one of our features the will you use our github bug report form please? (I shouldn't type this 1000s of times and Firefox feedback is not meant to be bad for bug reports. It will be remove then.) - Rated 5 out of 5by Vangxim, 2 months ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19242234, 3 months agoThis addon claims there are filter rules. There are no filter rules that I could see. Searching the menu for "filter" reveals nothing. At best, you can "block" channels and videos, a feature youtube already has.
Also, installing this caused all of my firefox tabs on youtube to stop responding, forcing me to close and reopen each.
It's weird to me how strongly they are marketing this addon, too, and the uninstall page vaguely tries to guilt trip you for removing the plugin. I realize this is recommended by mozilla, but it's tripping a lot of sus metrics for me, and I can't recommend it.
Edit: Further review of the developer's responses on low scoring reviews make me even more certain this isn't a good idea. 1) The developers respond to claims the plugin slows users' browser down with "nuh uh no it doesn't" and "yeah well why don't you measure the milliseconds with dev tools?", and 2) The devs claim that voting less than 5 stars is "voting against the project". Why does that matter? Why does your score on your open source, free project matter? It's almost like you're pushing for popularity on your plugin for some other reason. It's incredibly suspicious, and that type of language is couched in incredibly manipulative undertones. *Don't install this.* This thing is full of red flags.Developer response
posted 2 months agoHi, the word filter applies to our many layout and display:none features. However content-filtering can be the biggest roadmap item since we have not implemented or been asked, most of it. You can read up on it here https://github.com/code-charity/youtube/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3A%22Filtering%20%26%20Discovery%20(of%20Content)%22 )(half of which remains monologues with no user participation) https://github.com/MarcGuiselin/youtube-refined did some, yet only found about 1000 users then. Recently our new "competitor" Untrap has some too i think and is surprisingly the most / only likely developer to be reading our repo and roadmap. (If you can, suggest them not to collab / not reinvent this difficult task https://github.com/code-charity/youtube/discussions/1881). You can give fair feedback and you might not want to frustrate volunteers. We could also flag this ("Misplaced bug report or support request"), but prefer to keep information visible. There is no marketing budget and usually that would leave traces. When driven by suspicion, you might have more fun /success examining code. (You could enhance global security scanners or run your own). - Rated 5 out of 5by kindtoanimals, 3 months ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Chantelle, 3 months agoEnjoyable lots of good options. I just wish I could boost the volume with the click of an onscreen button like in Enhancer. Unless I'm missing something. 😅 Getting stretched thumbnails now on Channel Homes and searches. Also wouldn't mind if the 3 videos per row was an option.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15021675, 3 months agoExtension works great but causes videos in playlist to become stretched and wide. Can't fix without disabling extension.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Hirnuva, 3 months agoWonderful addon. The dim could be adjustable, it's a bit too dark now. Also, I have the default speed set at 1.25x. If I slow down the video and the video goes to PiP mode the speed jumps back to 1.25x, so I need to keep it at normal speed.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Ya inilah saya Bae, 3 months agoGreat addon, it helps me ❤. But the loop feature with numbers is still not implemented, if this feature exists I might give all my stars.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 19137270, 3 months agoI love this addon. I have just one problem: The options for hiding the live-chat dont really work.
'Collapsed' does the same as 'normal': When I open the stream the chat is there and I have to manually closed it via the X.
'Hide' removes the chat completely, but I dont want that.
When I have the live-stream open and go into the settings of the extension and change the live-chat setting to 'collapsed' it actually collapses the chat. But it doesnt do it automaticly, when I open a stream.
Hope I am not the only one with the issue and it can be fixed. Thanks for the great addon again. :) - Rated 5 out of 5by d7, 3 months ago
