- Rated 4 out of 5by niwis, 8 hours agoGreat extension, but it stopped working for me about a week ago. Recent update didn't help and previous versions don't work aswell. I hope it gets fixed for me in the next update somehow

posted 19 minutes agoThere's a new version pending for review, it should fix this issue. - Rated 3 out of 5by Neoslayer, 16 hours agoWhen it works, it's amazing. But on half of the videos, it just doesn't work. The UI buttons are gone, ctrl + wheel no longer changing the video playback speed - The only functioning thing is the custom theme color I set. Replicating this issue may have to do with "Place controls within the video player" but I'm not sure. Could be a conflict with another extension? If there is a way to fix this, I will change the review to 5 stars.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17972734, 19 hours agoA great suite of QoL features YouTube should already have! I especially like adjusting video volume with the mouse scroll wheel and watching the video inside a picture-in-picture viewer while scrolling comments

- Its nice to see that its back and updated , But the new version broke cinema mode , when going full screen it dims the player the same amount as the setting is and make it not intractable when cinema mode is on. I got it set to 98% so its completely unwatchable in full screen with cinema mode on. Even reinstalled and it did not help.
Edit: fix worked.Developer response
posted 18 hours agoI'll fix this in the next version. You can use this as custom theme to quickly fix it:
body.efyt-cinema-mode:has(#movie_player.ytp-fullscreen) #efyt-background {
display: none;
visibility: hidden;
} - The update landing page claimed something along the lines of “tons of bug fixes and improvements - too many to list.”
In reality, I don’t see any improvements at all. In fact, it broke features that were working perfectly fine in the previous version.
For starters, embed quality stopped working for me after the update. I’m not sure what else is broken yet, but I’ll update this review as I encounter more issues.
What makes this especially disappointing is that I previously found the extension very impressive. The old version worked flawlessly for me, even after YouTube’s UI changes. Every feature I used continued to work without issues right up until this update.
Given this experience, I’m honestly starting to wonder whether the original author is still maintaining the project, especially considering there’s no proper changelog and the overall experience has clearly regressed.
Anyway, just a heads-up to others. Someone should confirm whether this update actually comes from the original author and possibly decompile the code to check for anything sketchy. I’ll most likely downgrade to the older version and disable auto-updates.Developer response
posted a day agoYou're just out of luck. Maybe try to reinstall it.
And yes, I’m the original author. Don't start spinning fake news or acting like a conspiracy theorist. Mozilla has full access to the source code, you don't need to inspect anything. If you don't trust Mozilla, then don't use Firefox.
For future readers: if you think the previous version works better for you, you can reinstall it from here: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/enhancer-for-youtube/versions/
Don't forget to turn off automatic updates. Developer response
posted a day agoThe player being sometimes very small is surprising. Not surprised by the control bar sometimes not visible because I know that some users are facing this issue, and unfortunately I have never been able to reproduce it on my end.
You can send me the debug info file and also give me more details, maybe that could help:

https://www.mrfdev.com/contact - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17487600, a day agoThank you for bringing this back to the store officially! One of the handful of extensions that make YouTube usable despites Google's best efforts to make me find other entertainment, now back where it belongs, on the one last browser not built by Google. Thank you!
