Enhancer for YouTube™ by Maxime RF
Review by PetKing
Rated 5 out of 5
by PetKing, 7 years agoThis extension offers incredible and vast features to customize your YouTube viewing experience to your own preferences. There are many options to enable/disable, but as a result this may cause some instability and delays the more you have running.
As a suggestion for the developer, I very much would look forward to an update that allows not only the incredibly useful volume mouse wheel control and the never used (at least for me) playback speed control functions, but also an additional feature to control playback scrolling with the mouse wheel, a feature for which I have yet to find a suitable extension or answer. I currently have to use Logitech's Gaming Software with my (obviously) Logitech mouse to perform this task in a less than preferable way: the two thumb buttons 4 and 5 are hot-keyed as Left and Right respectively, but as a result I lose the very comfortable Back and Forward functions. I believe the implementation of a playback scrolling feature would greatly improve this extension and "complete" the whole package, so to speak.
Thanks for all your efforts and time!

- Rated 1 out of 5by adamhybel, 15 days agoEnhancer for YouTube adds a wealth of highly useful features and controls to the YouTube experience, significantly improving usability. The functionality offered is genuinely excellent and much appreciated.
However, I'm giving it 1 star due to a critical issue: it is closed-source. This lack of transparency is a major concern. We, the users, cannot verify the code we are running in our browsers. This presents potential security and privacy risks, as there's no way to audit the extension for hidden tracking or malicious behaviour. Trust requires transparency.
I genuinely love what this extension does, and I would instantly change my rating to 5 stars if the developers embraced free and open-source principles.
I strongly urge other users to request this change as well. Open source is vital for user security and trust in browser extensions. Developers, please consider making Enhancer for YouTube open-source. The concept is fantastic, but its closed nature prevents a wholehearted recommendation.
