posted 3 years agoEDIT2: ah! hey, probably the autoplay setting! (i couldn't reproduce either in the latest Firefox. But it was reported 3 times by now)
https://github.com/code-for-charity/YouTube-Extension/issues/1213 ( The other setting is new and could also be called "Unlimited page width" to be more intuitive. (even though technically it is something that Youtube visually does by default already and we just switch it off. We can always improve and make the most important features bigger and label some others as rare/specific. But this is an avid task and not trivial and should not be required to avoid low ratings ( https://github.com/code4charity/YouTube-Extension/discussions/748 )
- this project is actually is the only existing solution for many things and the most convenient one too in comparision. Most settings allow to see the effect instantly on the current page, unlike all alternatives, that require to make settings in different tabs. (- yet 'youtube enhancer' & 'magic actions for youtube' do have a million more users still) - and bad ratings might make the gap bigger if anything.
(To be more precise, the width limit feature is meant to allow the site/video to expand to the sides. This means, if you have a superwide screen or also hide related videos, then the video height wont fit fully, unless you also hide the youtube header, or zoom or use auto-fullscreen. We are not a one-fit-all solution by definition for a billion users like YouTube itself. We volunteer to serve specific wishes. Most users are willing to experiment for some minutes for once. In a 100 features a few will in fact naturally not help you. All of which we can try to label perfectly in the next update, but never avoid completely, by nature of even having more than a few features. You can still refer to your list of 'activiated Features' (and currently this feature only appears once you disabled the button.) (You can also reset our settings to go back to YouTube defaults.) Anything could be labeled or come with an alert, but thats also complification in the eyes of other users. (You don't need to click a button unless it makes sense to you.)
----------
EDIT: Thanks, tough luck* - Almost there though! (*this confirms it is a rare bug. However we will be happy to fix it for you in time!) - Did you notice the last 4 Versions are all within a few days?😊 - If you go back a step further (3.223 or 3.899), then it works most-likely and you will have discover easily, at what version the bug starts🤩. (Finally, you probably have a rare computer or system? (and can see whats happening in the browser console?) bugs@improvedtube.com. BTW you can quickly try an extension in a private tab, with no other extension running just to make sure) -----------------
hi, thanks. Please understand some bugs are rare and bad luck. The bigger a project is, the less likely you run into any, but it can't be excluded completely. To find it fastest you might need to report more details ( https://github.com/code4charity/YouTube-Extension/issues ). Also likely it just started yeserday and was not there in the prevous versions, which you can still get. Many Features: Yes, browser extensions are unfortunately supposed/presented to be small/single-purpose. Still we are providing a 100 of the most wished and requested features without 100 times more success than easy extensions. This is also much more teditious than making our own site which would be fun/need no maintenance. We are volunteers working hard. Youtube has a billion times more money than us. So you might not want to give 1 star, to support the cause getting anywhere near as much visiblity, as it deserves (and consequently even faster fixes) Many smiles!

posted 2 days agohi :) you have to enabled it first. Before it starts measuring. And it might needs a fix. (A future version could also analyze whats in browsing history, but that doesn't include duration / will have to guess)
What about joining us on Github? (over 170 people already contributed)
(4 stars is not, helping, reducing the average)

- Rated 5 out of 5by sikaflex777, 7 days agoAwsum! I'd love to be able to set the screenshot to file + clipboard, so both. Also, a shortcut for alternating between a set playback speed and a normal playback speed would be super. I watch a lot of videos where there's sound or music that illustrates the topic, but the talkers talk too slowly. That would make it super easy to fast forward the speech and jump back to normal speed when the sound/music starts to play.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Forzaredz, 7 days agoIt's a nice addon so far.. but it'll be better if you made 2 options for automatically change the video resolution.. one for normal mode and one for fullscreen mode. I know you did a similar option (the foucus option).. but for me the fullsreen mode can be more convenient.
I also recommend to make the oprions more user friendly .. like a full page that has all the options.you can visit the enhancer for youtube addon option page to get my point.
But anyway thanks for the addon and please keep updating and enhancing itDeveloper response
posted 2 days agohi, agree, have written both of that in our to-do lists already long ago. And you could go there to vote for it.
What about joining us on Github? (over 170 people already contributed)
There are over 1000 to-do list items https://github.com/code-charity/youtube/issues
(4 stars is not helping, reducing the average)
( "so far.. but it'll be better if you made 2 options" many people said such that and it is unaware(/ignorant) of the situation. /Better phrase: "For the wish-list:" )
thanks - Rated 4 out of 5by Secure Fox, 9 days agoGood. How do I center the screenshot button. Screenshots don't work. Saves blank.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 17350704, 9 days agogood but if possible I'd like an option to add a button to quick-add videos to a certain playlist, like "add to last selected playlist" instead of having to select the playlist in the menu on default youtube

posted 2 days agohi, there is no "good but i wish" in feedback ratings. If you are ratings below 5 stars, then you are voting against the project.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Ducko, 19 days agoSadly this stopped working like a week ago and keeps freezing my video / tab / Firefox when using it.
I noticed it when the remaining time feature didn't work anymore then I tried turning it off / on. Kept freezing on me since then.Developer response
posted 18 days agothe feature just received an update. (please differ outdated feature vs actual freezing/ or cpu load) . You shouldn't be surprised when one in 200 features ever needs an update, but be surprised how our development team of 0 people keeps up with Youtube's changed like Sisyphus most of the time. (There might be guarantees for fast updated in future, if we get any funding.) - Rated 5 out of 5by ZoukiYork, 19 days ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Jeremy Winkleson, a month agoI mean, it functions as it's supposed to for the most part, however changing the "thumbnail quality" setting causes most thumbnails to not load at all. It also once removed my entire video suggestions column until I deleted and redownloaded it and I still don't know why, so beware screwing around with the settings.

posted a month agohi! this feature specifically doesn't work yet with Firefox only. https://github.com/code-charity/youtube/issues/2310, however, since Firefox featured us, now all known Firefox bug can be considered urgent. Did you possibly forget using the feature to hide recommend videos? Please consider it is more likely that there was no need to reinstall. We are one of the biggest projects among the browser extensions already. Over 170 People have helped. Still it is common, that some issues stay for years. You can make a difference. 1000 of steps have been done and 100 are currently on the to-do Lists. We prioritize. - Rated 5 out of 5by bonnie, a month agoworks perfectly! i love how much i can customize, the themes are perfect! pink youtube makes me happy :] my only wish is for the notifications icon in the top to also change to the text color, since it stands out being the only black icon with my white text, but it's not a huge deal!

posted a month agowhat do you mean? (the extension can only run on youtube.com yet) - Rated 5 out of 5by l'écureuil, a month ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by kjamcu, a month agoWhile it somewhat works, this extension is very unresponsive and Youtube starts freezing or acting unpredictably.
