Enhancer for YouTube™ by Maxime RF
Review by Wray
Rated 2 out of 5
by Wray, 4 years agoInteresting concept ruined by unbelievably bloated execution.
Downloaded solely for the default volume option and to disable default auto-play; the latter works - the former doesn't.
In practice, videos load and begin playing too quickly - before the extension can modify (lower) the volume. Maybe it'd work better if my PC were a potato or my browser ran like crap, but for obvious reasons I'm going to skip that test and go back to using a simple script for what I need.
Has a few other features that might be interesting in very niche scenarios, if they actually work, but nothing that either your average end-user nor your function-minded power-user will care about. Get rid of all that garbage and optimize the remaining code, and maybe this'll be worth trying again.
For now... hard pass.

- Enhancer 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. - Rated 5 out of 5by VS, 2 days ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Raavn, 13 days agoI only use it to set a default resolution for YouTube videos, but it's not working. If I set the resolution to 1080p, it removes 1080p and higher options from the quality settings.
