- Rated 5 out of 5by Elle Victore, a year agoIf you're looking for an alternative to YouTube High Definition add-on this is the one.
With a lot of features that you didn't know you needed this is one of the best things out here, making YouTube actually a lot better than its current state.
This powerful add-on allows you to:
• Set a fixed resolution for video playing so you don't have to change it every time.
• Always display subtitles when available.
• Add a loop button so you don't have to right-click to get the menu for loop. Loop can be active for ever.
• Change the video player size and features.
• Apply a visual theme for YouTube background, auto-expand descriptions, hide ads and much more!
Not working on mobile view? Toggle Firefox desktop mode and you'll be ready to go.
This is a must have! - Rated 5 out of 5by Masri, a year ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 16366541, a year agolooking to replace Enhancer for YouTube [for Cowardice in the Face of google]... but this extension refuses to export its own settings. asks for permission to access storage [granted] & then never proceeds to local FS folder choice & never exports. importing settings seems to work. wtf... excessively compartmented settings UI, requiring totuous traversal of modal sub-windows.

posted a year agohey, how did you import when you couldn't export? Most people wont remember the order of 100 features in one list. However you arent bound to it as there is search. I'm sorry frustration isn't impossible and partly inevitable even for this product deserving 5 stars, until a few more of our 570 000 users help us. - Rated 5 out of 5by hejay, a year ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by –Phase–, a year agoVery, very good replacement for Enhancer for Youtube. Has all the same features Enhancer did, and even some that it didn't. I will be using this until Enhancer comes back (if it ever does). Thanks a lot for providing this amazing extension!

posted a year agohi! you could also always use both. This is growing since 2012 (just late on Firefox). looking forward to fast maintenance always through finally being visible /popular enough on github to attract some volunteers and want to register a non-profit. - Rated 5 out of 5by armadillo1899, a year agoSadly the subtitle customisation only works on desktop mode if you're on mobile. I hope it'll get fixed in the future.

posted a year agohi! yet we run on www.youtube.com, so nothing runs on m.youtube.com, which sees ~17% as much traffic and i like it being less heavy of a page and wondered to suggest it to desktop users /with modification - "mobile youtube always" : https://github.com/code-charity/youtube/issues/1211 - Yet it also is a different website, thus the layout / UI work will oftne be like a new extension and both are subject to change /need maintenance. - Besides playback features like speed and volume and pip are a browser standard and might already work on many websites, if we let the extension run there (so we should first finish every idea about these, as they last may only cause 5 star reviews.) - Please post any requests and ideas in our github (~=todo-list) - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18247726, a year agoNot usable: impossible to add channels to blocklist.

posted a year agohi, please rate us for all of our (100+) features. (Otherwise it is not fair, compared to all other extensions.)
Also: This is a "misplaced support requested": the button is on the channel pages (we can add it on channels too to be easy to find, but we already do 100s of things for free and it is impossible to do every possible thing users imagine). A volunteer recently even revised this whole feature though! AND the feature is displayed small & las,t because we might retire one day, since YouTube also offers such by now. - Rated 1 out of 5by ee, a year agoOffers good functionalities, but seems rarely able to enforce them. E.g. I almost always have to turn autoplay off and cancel up next videos manually. It's features are well thought out; it's just wildly inconsistent.
edit:
what even was that drivel? how is this rating-manipulating heckling even allowed on AMO?Developer response
posted a year agoHi there, read again maybe? Whats not supposed to do here is misplacing support requests in reviews. Be assured an author's comment can be relevant more easily. You might not want to launch wrongful attacks here either like "wildly inconsistent".
---
Hi there, several people confused the number of options and how specific they are: Autoplay means if a video is starting to play at page load without a click. Disabling "Up next Autoplay" is another features that you want to use separately (or both, your choice).
(Most of our users yet bring the interest/geek to watch up to 100 switches. )
Also please consider that no matter what we work for free since 11 years and 100s of times than most extensions with a single feature never requiring an update. So we deserve more than 5 stars. Our features are consistently developed and some might (or might not) temporarily have issues after YouTube changes. (Since YouTube doesn't announce these changes, it is the best we can possibly do. The only hope to manage this 24/7 service perfectly is many users and luckily we grow. Slowly tho. With every bad and inaccurate review it gets worst, my hope goes down. That's the purpose of review. You decide if you want such to be attempted any further or just not bother, or even vote it down to make it stop existing.)
