Great addition to YouTube, adds functionality that YouTube intentionally missed, small feature request - auto hide watched if you mark them to be permanently hidden. In any-case thank you for the work chap!

Thanks, i was really looking for something like this, could you add a toggle or something for not seeing watched videos..or maybe rearranging the rest of the thumbnails would be too much. Maybe replace the empty watched video thumbnails with subscription new videos or something. lol i dont know how that would even work..

Been using this addon for years and it has worked great. I've got about 25,000 watched videos in my YouTube Watchmakers database. That is so much more than the 5,000 maximum that YouTube will remember. It would be great if it would add YouTube videos that are watched on other sites like Bing, Just mentioning it, Thanks for the great extension!

Certainly my fav add-on for YouTube.
Unfortunately 2-3 weeks now, this add-on has begun to bug and cause incredible amounts of lag on Firefox, and I always end up typing "about:performance" in URL bar only to once again see this add-on going sky high on 'energy impact'.

And it wont stop unless I disable this add-on... And if I enable it, a few minutes or hours later, the same thing will happen again.

So yeah, this is definitely a must-fix.

edit: Is it possible that this add-on is not compatible with some other add-on or script? Maybe, cuz I have 36 enabled add-ons and 41 or so scripts installed in Violentmonkey.

But still, I honestly doubt it has anything todo with the add-ons, bcs basically nothing has changed in the past 2 months. (small changes)

The only thing that's changed is that I added all these java scripts. But I still highly doubt it has todo with that, simply because this bug begins to happen out of the blue on it's own, while I'm NOT on youtube. (but I do* have youtube videos open in new tabs, so I'm not sure)

So far, it has happened while I was browsing sites other than YouTube.

lmk if you need more info. Maybe you changed something recently? Maybe it was bcs of Firefox update? Really hard to say.

fantastic addon but it hasnt worked for a couple of weeks now, FF is up to date and it looks like watchmarker is. I loaded https://youtube.com/new to see if i was using old site but still nothing

Good

Great addon, a must-have if you're using YouTube on a regular basis.
Question: is there any chance for a mobile release?

Simon,
You are truly a scholar and a gentleman. First time any developer on the Firefox Add-On board actually responded to my review; but I am glad you are "alive" and came out of slumber to patch this. It is now beautiful and YouTube has a bad habit of recommending videos I have already watched MONTHS ago. Your GRAY overlay with WATCHED text is AWESOME; because I code while I listen \ watch YouTube, so this makes it easier for me to avoid realizing I am re-watching something TWO minutes in. We MUST stop these YouTube creators from dipping 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 100X for the same videos, hahaha... Thank you and now all we need is a way to auto-sync history across all our machines with a single account. I am too lazy for Manual Export\Import.... FIVE STARS !!!

*** OLD REVIEW - 03\24\20 ***
Developer needs to update this add-on; but it is possible they have not tested it recently with Firefox, since it has not been updated for over a year. It is an AWESOME idea; but does not work correctly with Firefox 74.0. All thumbnails appear with a grey overlay above it with the text WATCHED in some cases. It is an obvious alignment \ overlay issue; so most likely YouTube "broke" it and this needs to be fixed ASAP. If this is fixed, then I will upgrade to FIVE stars; because it is needed, so now I am off to find another add-on.

I just started using this. I also have the bug with the double-sized thumbnails but since I never use the Youtube starting page and the issue is not present in a channel's Videos page, it does not bother me too much.
I honor the idea of this add-on, as this is basically a must have.

Two questions or feature requests, though:

1. I would really like to be able to manually mark videos as "watched" and be able to de-mark them. Not sure how this could be implemented, GUI-wise, but I think it would be a very great feature!

2. Currently, it's sufficient to click a video to get it marked as "watched". Wouldn't you consider it more intuitive if a video only gets marked when watched "completely" or at least to 2/3, 3/4, 9/10? I know that's a bit philosophical and probably tricky to implement. Just asking. :)

This addon is godsend. However the latest YouTube update broke it. On hover / scroll the video thumbnails double in height every now and then.

Please, never leave me!
