posted a year agoMake sure to click the extension icon in the top right corner or right click it and choose 'Always allow on www.youtube.com'. For some reason Firefox turns off extensions after you install them or when there is an update.- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13461850, 2 years agoWorks great. Also the developer fixes problems quickly(because of YouTube changes)
- Rated 4 out of 5by Anonymous, 2 years agoThe best YouTube livestream chat extension there is. Very simple to use and has fantastic options to customize with.
Developer also updates as soon as YouTube does some tomfoolery which is greatly appreciated.
However a suggestion I may add is having the live chat be able to shift to the bottom of the video player when the browser window is cascaded to the side when there's two windows, similar to how FrankerFaceZ allows that option, because I tend to watch and do stuff on the side and also the YouTube stream does hard crash the browser tab when I cascade, requiring me to sometimes disable the extension in the video player. - Rated 5 out of 5by scoot, 2 years agoThe features introduced by this extension are so simple and obvious that I can't stomach using YouTube's default half-baked theater mode anymore.
The dev is also very quick to push updates when the Google engineers get bored and decide to start tinkering with YouTube's backend.
Highly recommend! - Rated 5 out of 5by Billy J, 2 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by yogurt, 2 years agoGood addon but theater mode randomly stops working every few weeks and have to remove and re-add it.
Video no longer showing in theater mode as of 22 august update.Developer response
posted 2 years agoUnfortunately it has been broken by YouTube 3 times in less than two months, which is a bit annoying, but there is nothing I can do about that. You don't have to uninstall and reinstall it, just wait for the extension to get updated, which usually happens within a day or two. You can also check my Twitter or Discord for information when there are issues with the extension. - Rated 5 out of 5by tutuhaha, 2 years agoWorks like a charm, easy to access, easy to modify almost every aspect of it, and regularly updated if youtube breaks something.
I hope I'm rich enough to donate, but leaving 5 star rating and some comments is best I can do. - Rated 5 out of 5by Flum, 2 years agoThe "Prevent the video from pausing when clicking on it while in livestreams theater mode" option doesn't seem to work anymore.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Genomu, 2 years agoI have tried a lot of extensions and scripts like this, but this one is definitely the best one I tried so far. The only problem I have with this is that even non-live videos keep switching to theater mode for some reason which is annoying.Hopefully that gets fixed if possible.

posted 2 years agoThis was caused by a change from YouTube but should already be fixed with version 4.0.1, please make sure you are updated to the newest version.- Rated 5 out of 5by Knytely, 2 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by akya, 2 years agoThere should be a setting to disable the overlay on the video because I end up moving mouse and clicking on the links on overlay as I am watching video. Very disruptive. Love the theater mode though.

posted 2 years agoThank you for the feedback. I have fixed the two compatibility issues I found with the 'Enhancer for YouTube' browser extension:
- Layout issues in livestreams theater mode have been fixed (with active option 'Control bar location: Below the video player' in 'Enhancer for YouTube')
- Stream info overlay should now always appear as intended - Rated 5 out of 5by Zan Zrov, 2 years agogenius.. just like twitch.
Also works well with the github "YouTubePatchCollection" (revert to previous youtube display) Developer response
