Almost perfect for what I want (fixes rows, removes home page shorts) but needs an option to remove notification shorts from subscribed creators if possible as well (since YouTube wants to make their platform short-form video slop). Also doesn't slow down my computer which is another plus.

Edit: I would also like to suggest two feature updates. One is to turn off the new "Ask YouTube" AI search addition if possible. AI summaries are fine but I am not trying to ask questions through YouTube. The second feature idea is mini-player compatibility to the traditionally built in picture-in-picture (PIP) if possible, as sometimes I use the traditional PIP and it gets confused. The traditional PIP allows movement and out of browser compatibility, but I like the automatic enable scrolling to comments it just lacks the ability to drag it around and is stuck in the chosen area or in that page.

Edit: Recently have had the YouTube shorts appearing in related videos and on the homepage, where even extensions such as this have been failing to manage shorts. With shorts in the notifications icon, on the homepage, and in related videos that can't be throttled by this anymore it is truly an unavoidable aspect of YouTube unless an update comes out to fix these areas of short-form dark pattern feeds.

Been using this for years and really enjoy it. Especially the fast speed controls. I wish it would also have a feature to always display the 'save' button to make saving to playlists more convenient, but maybe in the future :)

really cool you should probably add change overall page color but still really cool love it.

Works great but it does not work while using a User Agent Switcher which is a bit sad since youtube is close to unusable without one to fake Chrome.
And using youtube without this extension is also awful nowadays with all those shorts taking up space.

It seems a glitch deleted my review so I'm reposting to keep users up to date.

Used to be a great extension, almost mandatory. Unfortunately there seems to be a problem that's causing some users to be unable to update to the newer version of the extension (trapping them on version 2.0.121) and this older version is starting to not work anymore. It's probably a good idea to not install until the problem has been fixed.

I'm in currently talking with the dev team via email to find a solution (future update, about:config edit, "unpacked extension") but communication seems to be tricky. I'll update this review when i have confirmation on a fix.

For years this extension worked very good. Lately or a week now, its working in part. I can control the volume with the mouse, but the Video player Control disappeared. I tried uninstalling, re-installing, clear cache, reinstall firefox and then redo everything, still the issue the is same. Basic features disappeared or are not working. I read reviews here, some comments talk about this but not similar issues.

It worked fine for the first time, than disappered for some reason if reload the site.
Totally fine in private mode DKW.
PS. Tried disable others addon or install previous version. No use.

I love it, youtube videos that starts at a low default volume instead of blasting me out of my seat. Awesome !

Quite enjoy this extension. I have noticed the button for rewinding the video to the left of the pause button remains visible for me even when the video bar hides, though it could be due to my many other youtube visual scripts. Also the older update had a much less noticeable opaque box behind the controls that I preferred; an option to adjust the opacity like with the cinema mode would be nice.

Been using this for years, a must-have!

One recent bug - occasionally when using the playback speed wheel while a video is playing, then navigating to another open browser tab, the video will return to 1x speed and won't be able to be altered without refreshing the page.

Good for everything, only issue is that on every device i've used the firefox version on the audio breaks above 8x speed

Edit: All of my issues have been fixed so I am changing the score to 5.

Missing "Videos per row" feature!!
Please add the "Videos per row" option (under Appearance) to the Firefox version! It works great on Chrome and it’s the only thing missing here.
