by Angel, 2 years agoUPDATED
Haven't tried the extension much. I mostly wanted to be able to adjust the playback speed with keyboard shortcuts.
FINDING SETTINGS. I found it tricky to find the settings/options for the extension. They can be found by clicking the navigation bar icon. If the icon is not visible in the navigation bar, click the extension icon (puzzle piece), and then the name of the extension (not the settings gear next to the name).
My initial review was just asking for instructions on how to find the settings, which has been requested several times before and still remained unanswered. The developer seems to take everything as a personal attack and interpreting low ratings as malicious, and rather than giving straight answers goes on rants and insult the reviewers.

posted 2 years agoEDIT: hi again Sir, we still didn't insult you at all. Most of all browser extensions are just used this way, with nav-bar icons most of the time. After installation the appear at the "puzzle piece", then people "pin" them. Browser changed this a few times in over the years. It is is no bad, if you aren't an expert of these particular facts, but as said this extension is made for the common and easy way only. In about 10.000 user messages i read this maybe 5 times, so it is highly unlikely to appear 3 times in a row in 2023. BTW. i even I took the time for to figure out enabling your preferred other way to call the options, which is available since 5 days now. If you don't care for the extension and didnt find an issue, you shouldn't even rate 4 stars. It is below our average of 4.52.
Thanks

Still unsure whats the joke. Why would you feel so strong here? It is very unlikely / paradox if you wait for this extension like christmas gifts and already know the features are good, yet already want to attack the giver / volunteers. You might not want to hurt enduring volunteers or be perceived as spam. One more time: You can review the answer. It is informative. Most of all extensions have a navbar-browser-icon. Searching for options in the browser's full extension list is a bit old /outdated way and if you open it like that, it is far from what we meant (, which is switching on features while you are on YouTube to see the effect immediately).
Thanks

posted a day 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)

- Rated 5 out of 5by sikaflex777, 6 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, 6 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 a day agohi, agree, have written both of that in our to-do lists already long ago. And you could go there to vote for it.

There are over 1000 to-do list items https://github.com/code-charity/youtube/issues

( "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, 8 days agoGood. How do I center the screenshot button. Screenshots don't work. Saves blank.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 17350704, 8 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 a day 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, 18 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 17 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, 18 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.
