'Improve YouTube!' 🎧 (For YouTube & Video) by code-for-charity, ImprovedTube
Review by Dawn Boi
Rated 2 out of 5
by Dawn Boi, 4 years agoThis extension added some new issues more than fix the ones I wanted to fix. The only reason I wanted this plugin was to have videos play from the beginning since I like to listen to music. There are two issues currently. One: Whenever I click the home screen or search another video, the video still plays in the background. That's annoying. Two: Sometimes whenever I click on the extension icon the video starts from the beginning with every click. The only option I changed was turning on forced play video from beginning (only thing I was interested in)
Developer response
posted 4 years ago1. Miniplayer on the youtube homepage is a youtube feature, please check again?
2. should not happen, you dont have to click the extension icon usually, the site might only reload if you change something big like dark theme or video resolution

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19533654, 23 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 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16768472, a month 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.
