Enhancer for YouTube™ by Maxime RF

Rated 2 out of 5
by VanguardLH, 4 months agoUsed to block ads at Youtube. Removed in v2.0.22. Author said "To comply with Youtube's Adblock Policy, I had to remove all the Ads Management related features." What add-on author has to comply with any Google policy? Google isn't hosting the add-on download. What if Google declared the volume could not be controlled or set to an initial volume level, or display a pop-up player when scrolling through comments, or any of the other options in this add-on? Removing ads that interfered with viewing a video was my primary reason to use this add-on, but that's now gone. Ads blocked were interlaced in the video, not shown elsewhere on the web page outside the video (which an adblocker add-on will handle). I'm reviewing the other settings in this add-on to determine if there is any reason to keep it anymore.
Author's web site says "Please don't send feature requests" to his e-mail, and the Support Email link here is to the same address, so have to post them here as a review.
Feature request for 2 additional options:
- Default video type: All, Shorts, Videos, Unwatched, Watched, Recently uploaded, and Live. Shorts are garbage created usually on smartphones. All is the default which includes Shorts. Would prefer Videos since those are why I visit Youtube.
- Default CC = off. Too many videos have closed captions which I don't need. I have to keep clicking the CC button to get rid of that noise.
