- Rated 3 out of 5by MattrixLarr, a month agoI can still select multiple songs, but why tf I can't move them to the top or bottom of the playlist? It was by far the most useful function for really long playlists
- Rated 3 out of 5by seraphicgate, a month ago[Oct. 26, 2026 - Ver 4.0 on Firefox 158.0.1] - Updating my review as others are doing. I just rediscovered this add-on earlier this month and wrote a glowing review, and then lo and behold, like a week later a new version came out. I'm glad the extension is alive, but as others have already pointed out, there are some issues with it. I already reverted back to Ver. 3.7 until these issues are fixed.
1.) Load entire playlist seems to be slower -- MUCH slower. So slow, in fact, that it was the primary reason I downgraded back to the previous version of this extension. I suspect the previous method of anchoring to the bottom of the page was replaced with a newer method in the extension's backend. But instead of loading 100 videos in incremental batches, now it only seems to load like 2-3 videos at a time. For long playlists, that would take forever. Not worth the speed drop.
2.) As many others have noted, the extension now asks for clipboard access. It doesn't state why in the changelog, and even if a reason was given, that's a dangerous permission to grant.
3.) I neglected to mention this last time, and I haven't tested version 4 to see if this was fixed or not, but the Japanese language review by 睦月 below mentions it for version 3.7 and earlier. On other people's playlist pages (not your own), the extension doesn't detect the videos, and it always says 0/0 videos. The only way it will work is if you click on a video and open the playlist in the sidebar while on the video player page-- then you can use the extension normally on others' playlists.
4.) For some reason, as of last week even on version 3.7, the Cut option no longer works. Copy and Paste still work. But Cut doesn't actually remove the videos from your playlist.
5.) Export playlist does not export all videos. It stops at 100 videos. This was an issue in the previous version 3.7 as well.
So with these additional issues, I have changed my rating to 3/5. The previous version is still functional (minus the Cut option), but as most people will be evaluating the current version 4 in the Add-on store, I'll keep my revised review here until these issues are hopefully addressed in a newer version. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 16081590, a year agoUnfortunately, dont' work on yotube history menu. Is there a way I can return back to the previous version. if Maybe it would work again.
And it is no longer possible to cut away from a playlist; I can only copy - Rated 3 out of 5by BlohoJo, 2 years agoUsed to be perfect, but now, it will only remove the initially loaded videos from any particular playlist, which is 100. If you have say 2000 videos in there, you now have to do it 20 times with refreshes in between, etc. The extension will act like it's removing videos if you load more than the initial 100 (either manually or using the plugin) but the videos will not be deleted. It's not user friendly to just let users discover disfunction on their own, as it wastes time and is very frustrating. It does still seem to copy videos to a new playlist when loading the whole playlist.
- Rated 3 out of 5by P., 2 years agoThe most useful feature is not implemented:
- "select multiple videos & move them to position n"
Only available is:
- move to top
- move to bottom
Well then i can also just use the youtube UI which is similar unhelpful - Rated 3 out of 5by BipedBD, 2 years agoFor some reason today this extension stopped being able select videos when I click on them. Somehow it does select them when I'm not logged into the site (but strangely not in private mode if I'm still logged in).
Sorry I couldn't find a more suitable place to report this issue than the reviews section. - Rated 3 out of 5by Lemon, 2 years agoOk... It isn't working properly again. I can select videos and load my entire playlist which is useful BUT, now i cant move multiple videos to a certain spot like i used to. I also can't delete videos from the playlist while this extension is running. Hoping the devs fix this issue soon!
- Rated 3 out of 5by xerus, 2 years agoUseful, but missing a delete from playlist option and the ability to keep the selection after performing an action - usually I want to add some videos to another playlist and then delete them from the current one
- Rated 3 out of 5by salzrat, 3 years agoIn principle, this addon is exactly I was looking for. However, deleting videos only works for around 5-6 videos. If I select more than 5 or 6 videos, only around 5 get deleted.
I tried this both in Chrome and Firefox, same behavior. I tried it for the "Liked videos" playlist. Would be great if this could be fixed. - Rated 3 out of 5by Thomas, 3 years agoIt seemed to be working fine at first, but now I've just lost about 130 videos when reorganizing some of my most important videos into new lists. I have several lists with "Lessons" about stuff I work with. Now I have only a few videos left. This is so incredibly annoying.
Edit: I have edited my review. I still use the plugin and taking it shortcomings into consideration, it's still a useful tool.Developer response
posted 3 years agoI'm sorry for that.
Unfortunately, anything can happen because Google is constantly changing things.
But in version 3.3
🔧 Fixed: Save videos to new playlist
✔️ Option: Find duplicates backwards - Rated 3 out of 5by sushi eater, 3 years agobro i love ur extension but the 3.0 version doesnt work for me anymore, i have my browser updated but i dont see the button to activate the extension anywhere on the website and i cannot select any video. I do have the extension enabled on the extension manager and i have restarted the browser several times. idk if im doing something wrong, hope u can fix it when u have the time to do so, thanks for the extension. pd: in my android tablet the extensions works properly so idk if its just a mozilla problem
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14719029, 3 years agoI love this extension, but I no longer see the checkboxes to select videos after the update. I will change to 5 once I can use it again.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 17501318, 4 years agoThis is a much needed tool for Youtube - thank you for making it! Unfortunately it isn't working perfectly so one needs to pay very close attention while using it. For example when a longer list is loaded and one starts to select items from it and keeps scrolling down, when more videos get loaded in, they get randomly selected as well, so one has to start over... Unless it goes unnoticed, because then it makes a huge mess.
Also after removing selected items from the list, sometimes there were items (videos) left on the list which should have been deleted.
I was sorting out a huge list with over 4.000 videos on it and this add-on cut down the time needed to do so to about 1/5. But if it worked flawlessly, it would've cut down the time to perhaps 1/20.
