Reviews for Enhancer for YouTube™
Enhancer for YouTube™ by Max RF
Review by Rettznom
Rated 4 out of 5
by Rettznom, 7 years agoWith how many of these types of extensions have been failing, it's nice to find one that actually still works (And really well at that). All the features I'd need are here, and they work great for me. Loving the cinema mode the most. It was the only reason I used YouTube Gaming, but with how many basic YouTube features are missing from YouTube Gaming, it's a pain to use sometimes. Love that this basically brings the best of both worlds plus more.
Edit: Took one star away. The Ad-blocker doesn't work as intended. I run uBlock Origin on most sites, but wanted to see if I could get this one working on YouTube so that I could whitelist channels I still want to support. However, while the channels that are whitelisted properly show ads it also breaks the enhancer toolbar below the player (which won't show up anymore). Also, on channels that are not whitelisted videos simply will not load at all. If I grant permission all ads will be blocked as intended, but the whitelist feature is not available when you block ads before loading (from what I can tell). So, that defeats the purpose of me using Enhancer's Ad-blocker. Oh well, I'll just stick with having uBlock disabled for Twitch and YouTube.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Nikamin, 2 hours agoNever had a problem with the extension until now, since the last update when i am in full screen mode the video isn't taking the full screen space (3840*2160) , instead i have a grey border that i can't seem to remove.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Alex, 3 hours agoThanks for great extension. Thanks for returning to firefox addons portal. For those who are having trouble with the extension, please check if the "User Agent Switcher" extension is installed - they do not work together.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19737970, a day agoAnd a few hours after I wrote the review Mozilla allowed for the Jan 30th update (v2.0.131.1) to go through and it actually seems to be working again. Thanks, boss.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am seriously lost at this point and have no idea what is happening anymore. Been using this add-on for a few years now without any issues, but something went seriously wrong a few days ago.
Are there any dependencies to other add-ons?(if that is even a thing?)
Once I removed/disabled ViolentMonkey (wasn't running any scripts for the past 6+ months or anything youtube related to begin with) most of the functionality just stopped working or is malfunctioning and re-enabling the add-on brings the functionality back.
Theme function just keeps reverting to "Firefox Alpenglow dark" theme regardless of whether I switch to a different theme or I uncheck the "Dark Theme" option all together.
Any Video Player options just don't work. Full-stop.
Any attempt to revert to an older version(2.0.130.1) or reinstall the latest version(2.0.131) of the add-on does not seem to help.
Going to keep the review at 5 stars because it is most likely an issue that affects me only and I seriously love this add-on. - Rated 5 out of 5by Kirah, 3 days agoProbably the best youtube addon tho sadly while the latest update fixed the controls alignment to the player it broke the auto playback speed so i had to roll it back to the clone of 2.0.126.1 version but hopefully that will be fixed soon
- Rated 5 out of 5by ThEnchanted, 4 days agoDeveloper, thanks for returning the add-on to Firefox. I always like your add-on. It has a few bugs, but they are small compared to how feature-rich it is

- Rated 5 out of 5by Dodoma_John, 6 days agoThe best and most necessary addon for youtube for me after ublock. I still use the version 2.0.130.1 as it does everything correctly to my needs.
To Max : A request if you can UPLOAD the new version that you think people need ASAP, to your website so that we can download it and install over our current version.Developer response
posted 4 days agoThanks. Uploading a version on my website is not an option because Firefox won't let you install it if it hasn't been signed by Mozilla. Everyone is forced to wait for the Add-ons team to review and publish the upcoming version. The slow review process kills all my efforts to fix bugs quickly. - Rated 5 out of 5by user, 6 days agogood to see you back!
Unfortunately, it didn't work in Developer Edition 148.0b12...
P.S.worked! Thank you so much!!!!!!Developer response
posted 4 days agoThanks! If you know what about:config is, set dom.security.trusted_types.enabled to false - Rated 5 out of 5by funk69, 6 days ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by JMJAR, 7 days agoSome features are broken since days
I'll update review if it gets fixed.
Edit 12feb2026: Everything is fixed now!Developer response
posted 6 days agoI know, and a new version that will fix these issues is pending for review since Jan. 30, 2026
The review process is extremely slow on AMO, and one of the reasons I left for a while.
It's so slow that I already have another version ready, but I don't upload it yet otherwise the pending version will lose its position in the queue. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14396904, 8 days agoSo good that this extension is back, its a must have
- Rated 5 out of 5by R.K. Devere, 9 days agoVery good thanks but if there was a way to reduce the size of the related videos that would be brilliant. They've gotten bigger for some reason so I've blocked them for now with "Hide related videos". Otherwise 10/10
Developer response
posted 6 days agoThank you. I don't see the bigger related videos yet, so I guess it's another A/B testing and you've been selected. - Rated 4 out of 5by Jorb, 9 days agoNice, but needs updating to fix the new subscription feed and restore the list view instead of the grid

- Rated 5 out of 5by SpaceGodzillaX27, 11 days agoThis addon is a must-have for me every time I install Firefox on a new device. It improves YouTube so much that I can't live without it
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14001733, 11 days agoAlmost perfect, after the last update if cinema mode is enabled and i go fullscreen, the screen goes completely black. Edit: Thanks!
Developer response
posted 9 days agoThanks. Please wait for the upcoming version that is pending for review since days, it will fix this issue.
You can also use this as custom theme to quickly fix it now:
body.efyt-cinema-mode:has(#movie_player.ytp-fullscreen) #efyt-background {
display: none;
visibility: hidden;

- Rated 5 out of 5by Marty, 12 days agoNice addon as always but unfortunately some settings are broken with the latest version. Quality for example doesn't hold, it goes to whatever it wants to, even though it's set to 360p. Went back to 2.0.126.1, which has been reliable.
Developer response
posted 9 days agoA new version is pending for review since days. I hope it will be available soon as it will fix your issue. - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13404543, 12 days ago
