• (2024-09-08) Terry Schultze: Best Youtube extension there is.
• (2024-07-07) сергей кушнир: функция "скрыть шортс" глючная - справа в списке видео с подписями от скрытых шортсов, при переходе на следующее видео - название видео остаётся от предыдущей страницы, иногда - предыдущее и текущее название одновременно
• (2024-06-18) Rubysama Chisuru: I am absolutely thrilled with this extension now! Although it previously had a serious bug, it has now become the most lightweight enhancer for YouTube. I can't help but give it a well-deserved 5-star rating
• (2024-06-05) Saleh Zwai: When "force autoplay off" is enabled, videos won't play when I manually click play.
• (2024-04-02) ゆげ: アノテーション(動画画面右下のチャンネルアイコン)とカードを無効化できるのでとても重宝しています。動画を開いたとき自動で再生されるのをオフにしたり、周りのボタン配置や色を自分好みにカスタマイズしたりなど、色々できます。 外観→Extraボタン→スクリーンショット、PiP、ループボタンの設定をオフにしているのに、表示されてしまう不具合があるので、対応をお願いします。1～3回ウェブページを更新しないと非表示にできないので不便です。(edge ver. 123.0.2420.65) This add-on is very useful because it allows you to disable annotations and cards. Please fix the issue that screenshot, PiP, and loop buttons are displayed even though their settings are turned off. It is inconvenient because I need to refresh web pages about 1 to 3 times to avoid the issue.(edge ver. 123.0.2420.65)
• (2024-03-23) Jorge Ratti: Esta extensión es muy útil e increíblemente buena y todo pero siento que esta extensión si quisieran podría hacer que tenga compatibilidad con la extension Youtube Redux (ya que ambas poseen características que destacan mucho por ser muy útiles o estéticas) Return Youtube dislikes/ o tener su propio contador de Dislikes. Aprovechando varias características y añadiendo nuevas customizaciones, más atajos de teclado y menús accesibles *>>corrigiendo varios errores como la barra vacía ocupando espacio en pantalla arriba del video en reproducción o el contador de Likes desapareciendo sin razón.<<* además deberían poner funciones como eliminar el Tab *Para ti* de resultados de búsqueda ya que son desagradables y molestos, y poder modificar la barra de progreso debajo de las miniaturas de videos para hacerlas más pequeñas transparentes o de otro color, resaltar los iconos de los botones y fonts del contador con gradientes u otros al igual que las Closed Captions personalizadas (ya que al quitarle el gradiente negro hace que sean difíciles ver), añadir opciones extra y mejoras base para los Temas en el Fondo sin tener que personalizarlos manualmente etc, y añadir un modo espejo para la opción de rotación de video. In English: It's Incredibly good, useful and all but I feel that this extension if it wanted to could make it compatible with the >Youtube Redux extension since both have features that stand out for being very useful or for aesthetic purposes >Return Youtube Dislikes extension compatibility/ or having your own Dislikes counter. Improving many current features and adding new customizations, more keyboard shortcuts and accessible menus. *>>correcting many bugs like the empty bar at the top of the video while it's being displayed or the Likes counter disappearing for no reason.<<* and it should have functions like removing the Tab *For you* from the search results since those are so disgusting and annoying, allowing you to modify the progress bar beneath the video thumbnail to make them smaller, transparent or with another color etc, and add mirror mode for the rotate video option.
• (2024-03-07) Blackman Whitesuit: I don't like rewriting me review, because I already gave the team 5 stars, but a recent youtube update has broken *all* the youtube extensions that attempt to "fill the window" with a different sized player. The only setting that seems to change theatre mode is the "old alternative", but it overlaps the detail and sidebar text underneath. As always, thanks for all the work the team does and I hope there is a possible fix down the road! Edit(8/20): Youtube broke it again, but funny enough, it still works normally if the video is in a playlist. I have full confidence in these devs, so I'll wait patiently for a resolution. Thanks as always Edit(2/18): Thanks for always being on top of this app devs, but I have a small ask. Is it possible to be able to turn on the loop/repeat button on videos without having it always on? Thanks guys. Edit (3/6):Currently, the permanent speed doesn't work, but you can still manually raise and lower the speed on.
• (2024-02-28) Yahrite Fohb: Junk. There's like 3 themes and they suck, dark theme is just pure black. Disable autoplay, doesn't work. Click bug to report this and nothing happens. Foh with your garbage. Edit: Tried it again years later and thought I was liking it at first, but it still does not work properly. Disable autoplay doesn't work, channel intro video disabled still plays, it also causes some hitch when opening a video that usually makes you click on something else because the page moves. Just an annoying extension that doesn't do what it says it's supposed to do.
• (2024-02-18) Paul Walker (RatBags): I just want to say thank you again for taking your sunday and spending it doing fix and updates and today's bugs have given me a chance to look through all the new options and features you have implemented since last looking months ago, so again I thank you for this amazing extension that most of us couldn't live without
• (2024-01-20) Serie Masta: So far, so good except the progress bar in Picture-in-Picture. It won't resized together with PiP window & please add fixed resize scaling Edit: Thanks for adding fixed aspect ratio PiP scaling, only progress bar auto scaling hasn't added yet.
• (2024-01-18) Highly recommended - Must-Have Extension! Have been using this extension for years; it has so many useful features - basically YouTube exactly the way you want it. I've found it to be quite stable for a while now. Because there are so many features, there's a bit of a learning curve, but once it's set up you're good to go. Definitely worth investing the small amount of time needed; even if all you use if for is to reliably stop autoplay it's well worth it. I love that it's open-source and nonprofit, although keep in mind that patience might be required for updates. I use it in Chrome and Brave on Windows 11; the Export / Import features make it easy to keep my settings in sync no matter which browser I'm using. Couldn't live without it.
• (2024-01-06) Marily Gonzalez: Great friend, I liked it a lot, greetings and success.!!!!! Offers a search tool to find content related to the topic you are viewing.
• (2023-12-11) Danel Ham: I found it very practical to give YouTube some variety, it has thought about statistics and has touched on a visual and practical topic that many do not take. Recommended!
• (2023-11-28) JoeBlu: Works (mostly) 29-11-2023 Every now and then the videos opened on a new tab will NOT play by default. Despite the Auto play option being on. It's resolved once your delete your cookies and sign all the way back in. The bug is infuriating. Brave Browser.
• (2023-11-14) Emmanuel: It's good, but has a few bugs: 1.The function to stop a video when a second video starts, sometimes doesn't work. 2. Sometimes the app fails to load properly. 3. The function to force a video to start from the beginning sometimes doesn't work.
• (2023-11-12) Rafael: I love this extension. Thank you for the hard work!
• (2023-11-10) Cheryl Sparks: Can you add youtube studio the extension and put channel guidelines
• (2023-11-10) A: Can you please fix exclude music from forced playback speed. I don't want to reload the page whenever I switch between music and non-music videos.
• (2023-11-09) Khorum: Great extension, but now there's a bug that completely prevents playback of videos. Videos wont play while the extension is enabled and will play when its disabled. Im assuming its broken because of the new adblock arms race. I do have ublock origin but that currently isn't interfering with playback.
• (2023-11-07) DD 7: Thanks. It's just awesome
• (2023-11-07) DD 4: Thanks a lot!
• (2023-11-07) Adam Bishop: Awesome extension with so many options to enhance youtube. Wish I had found this earlier. Keep up the great work!
• (2023-11-06) Ayumu Belfegor: Reverse playlist not working anymore this version too
• (2023-11-06) Minh Nguyễn Tuấn: Best extension ever
• (2023-11-01) Александр Андросов: Reverse playlist don't work.
• (2023-10-31) Shahzaib Ihsan: It was working fine. The descrpition set to classic expanded is now no longer working. It just hides the descritpion in classic or classic expanded mode. Can you please fix this in a new update?
• (2023-10-27) Tanya Collis: It was working for me, however, it's no longer working. I think Youtube has overrode this extension because I'm finding that, while Youtube's settings are working fine, the settings in this extension are not. It sucks because it's a big reason I chose to use this extension in the first place. Even a basic keyboard shortcuts are no longer working. I don't know if it can be fixed or not. Just a bummer this stopped working for me.
• (2023-10-26) Derp Herp: Broken at the time of this review. As of the new Youtube update, it leaves a bunch of buttons (such as a repeat button) strewn haphazardly around the page, and even worse actually stops videos from playing. I've tried disabling a number of options within this (and checked to see if other extensions were causing the issue), but it's definately busted with no clear sign the Devs will fix it, instead insisting everyone "Joins them on GitHub" rather than providing actual support. If it wasn't for the fact nobody else has made an extension that deals with the top right annoyances in Youtube, I wouldn't even be using this.
• (2023-10-25) Henry Ozolins: Most features seemed to work, but one that was important to me did not, which was showing only the icon for the like button (Oct 2023).
• (2023-10-24) Shadow “Kaz” Levandowski: Good, but for some reason when I refresh the video, it struggles to keep playing. Like it keeps pausing itself
• (2023-10-20) Verified Tick: Nice! i am a reviewer so yeah. I give it a 5 star because everyone deserves it :D bye!
• (2023-10-19) Alfonso “Poncho” Navarro: Was good, but is currently not working. YT videos will not play unless I disable the extension.
• (2023-10-19) Tom H: There is an issue with the latest chrome update where the reverse playlist function in longer works
• (2023-10-18) Neocyte: As of 10/18/2023, this extension's "Ads" setting directly conflicts with uBlock Origin on YouTube. Every choice from the "Ads" drop-down menu allows YouTube to prevent playing videos with uBlock Origin installed.
• (2023-10-18) 고민성: 예전에 역순영상 정상으로 보려고 사용했었는데 오늘 사용할려고 하니 유튜브 영상순서에 역순을 순서대로 변경하려고 하니 화살표자체가 뜨질 않고 먹통이네요
• (2023-10-17) Pwnonator: Giving it a 4 star for now, seems good so far. The main feature i installed this doesn't seem to work or i misunderstood what it does. The Hide pause overlay. I was looking for a plugin that hides that because i watch a lot of tutorials related to unreal engine and when i pause, YouTube throws the title of the video top of the screen and that blocks things i need to see. Was going to give 3 star just because of that, but i tried the auto 1080p resolution and that seems to work and the remove shorts and stuff from my feed works. Probably wont keep it as i stated, the pause overlay doesn't get removed in full screen.
• (2023-10-16) em ar: Has there been any issues for the recent update with the sidebar, under the Appearance setting? I've only got Thumbnails to the right and Collapsed live chat active, but the Related videos are just missing, with only the tags at the top showing. Edit: Aall good now.👍
• (2023-10-16) MNDarkfire !: Currently, a lot of these features are not functioning. picture in picture being one of them. I enjoyed being able to browse while still having a video playing, but youtube just seems to hate features that fix their platform. Please tell me there is a fix in the works.
• (2023-10-13) tomio: Deckが機能しなくなった。最近Deckの動画が全て視聴済みになってしまうことが多い。有料会員なので改善お願いします。
• (2023-10-07) mepie: I like this tool better than the previous one I used, but it would be even great if it had an auto-pause/sleep feature. This feature would pause the current video playing after a set amount of time, which would be useful for watching videos before bed.
• (2023-10-05) Superlight: Please make it possible to assign a rotation button hotkey and youtube Shorts add rotation button
• (2023-10-01) Nika Nakaidze: Hi can u make progress bar and player bar always visible? not only progress bar
• (2023-09-25) egghorse: Does a lot of what I need on YouTube. Please add a feature to show Actual Date on videos by default, instead of Relative Date. This would be useful in searches and on Channels' Videos pages.
• (2023-09-25) Jason Laine: Very buggy and many features legitimately do not work. Going in order of all settings that don't work properly: "Mark watched videos" does nothing. The custom themes option in the menu glitches out constantly and randomly sets the background to light grey and text color to black, even though I'm trying to make a custom dark theme. Disabling trailer autoplay for channels also does nothing. Worst of all, after activating blacklisting, I have literally no idea how to use it. I've gone to every dropdown menu relating to channels, the about section of channels, tried right clicking in the blacklist menu, etc. Nothing seems to be able to add a channel or video to blacklist.
• (2023-09-22) Alice Noel Fitzgerald: Extension is currently unusable even when setting YouTube quality to 1440p or higher, all videos play at 720p and you can't even manually select a higher quality in the video settings as the options have disappeared, fix this and i will rate 5 stars! Small nitpicks: When adjusting the appearance like having the sidebar to the right or the comments to the left the player overlaps and is very ugly, there is also this huge black footer if you scroll too far. Custom themes do not change the immersive header that is to the left in a playlist, i was easily able to change it creating a userstyle and ambience is disabled on the YouTube player also unless you select Dark Theme.
• (2023-09-20) Alex Christ: This is a great extension, but there's one annoying bug: it automatically enables looping after 2-3 videos when I try to play a playlist. Even if I turn it off, it turns back on after 2-3 videos. Removing the extension resolves the issue. I've also disabled looping in both the extension and YouTube settings.
• (2023-09-19) R B: Immense Zahl von Einstellmöglichkeiten machen diese Erweiterung einmalig. Leider wird das Video nicht richtig angezeigt (in Chromium) sondern kollabiert auf einen schmalen Streifen. Wenn man mit der Maus darüber fährt, taucht es schnell auf und verschwindet grad wieder. Bitte beheben, so ist Erweiterung nicht verwendbar.
• (2023-09-15) fash ur: First of all, thank you. Can you please fix the related videos sidebar? "Hidden" and "Collapsed" don't work anymore. I'm don't want to see that cr4p. Also subtitles keep locking on one language, even if that means making auto-translated subs. I want to always see the original subtitles. At least when it's the two languages that I understand and don't need a translation for.
• (2023-09-14) Improved Tube: September 2023: We keep working hard for you with several volunteers: https://github.com/code-charity/youtube/releases. Please join us. Summer 2022: Thank you so much guys for over 500 000 active users! We are the only open Extension with 100 features for Youtube, excitingly developed at github.com/code-for-charity since 2012. - Food for though: if every user would be paying $0.01 week (average), then we could hire a team to develope 20 times more for you & faster - just dreaming aloud! - but some of you might be creative? ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ Sorry for the bugs on JULY23-27 2020 ! (/permission-dialog) ImprovedTube is made out of love for people 🤍 We were shocked, that our testing version was sent to everybody. Chrome Web Store actually got a Feature to test a new Version with, for example 3% of users only, however this does not seem to work😞 So all it takes to confuse everyone was such a click. We learned in the last 8 years and the next 8 will be better/more perfectionist. (this will not happen again) (if you like to help testing though (rarely) please join our BETA) (mark this information as "Helpful" so it stays first in case of announcements) ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ Dear ImprovedTube Community, it's almost 2020 and we are excited, that we count above 300.000 happy people. Most of who are "nerds". We are doing all this for you for free. We only got one Bitcoin donation :D this years. So you have no idea how much there is to come in future. ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ Let's improve Youtube! https://github.com/ImprovedTube/ImprovedTube [email protected] [email protected] Check out the new switches / features. We were very busy this year. All old features remain. ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ Thanks to 200.000 cool users! ★★★★★★★ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ Dear Friends, since 2013 ImprovedTube is appreciated for quietly, efficiently improving your Youtube experience. We enjoyed developing above 50 features - and withstanding never ending Youtube updates. ImprovedTube is free. Our sole motivation is your satisfaction and the slowly, but steadily rising number of users. We are proud that most of you are too smart and too busy to bother with obtrusive ImprovedTube alternatives. However the new Implementation of "fit video to window" needed to mature for some weeks and earlier in 2018 a bug caused confusion when some of you got their settings reset. So ImprovedTube dropped a lot from the 4.85★ stars average, where we had been for years, to 4.2 and for the first time ImprovedTube is listing out of the radar of the top YouTube extensions (most of which have fewer features, ads and tracking). Only >4.8 stars will give us the same visibility. We never wanted to bother you asking for reviews inside the extension but that is why few of you rated and few bad reviews are now relatively over-represented (the average changed too easily. Thus, more than ever, we hope for your 5 star ratings to recover the position that ImprovedTube deserves.) ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ Settings Reset: We are sorry that up to 1 percent of you possibly had their settings reset or through reinstalling. You can always sync/backup your chrome folders including ImprovedTube and we added a feature to export/import the settings file). We don't plan to trigger a resets for decades to come! ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ ∞ August 16. 2018: It seems, confusingly, Youtube's Player got a bug today. This is not about our update.

• (2023-09-13) Raiyhan Ali Fahmil Fikar: been using the extension for a while now, its marvelous, but theres a plethora of bugs recently with it. I just would like to report most useful one for me, that the appearance section for sidebar when i select collapsed, no longer works as usual. it no longer shows the "show more" section but other parts of the appearance works as usual
