- (2023-10-24) ImprovedTube for YouTube: a lot of serious work! many smiles! Consider joining us on https://github.com/code-charity/youtube we have a cute framework for making complex features and immediate changes by CSS only. And i cant recommend to run a browser extension for Youtube alone. Rather only open-source with a million users. That's why its heart breaking to see separation of volunteers, fading forces.
- (2023-05-03) anmol: Love it but why does it force-disable Youtube's Ambient-mode???? Pls fix this, and also pls add individual toggles to let us decide which mods we want instead of all of them being enabled by default. Thank you so much for making this!
- (2023-02-09) Megan Bell: awesome just pure great very decent layout i love it ty
- (2022-10-30) Asher Jones (Phλzer): This a fantastic extension, it make YouTube feel and look much more smooth and refined. My only complaint with this is that it doesn't have any configuration options, its not essential but it would be nice to have the option to enable\disable certain features or maybe even edit them. Other than that, its a must have for anyone who uses YouTube a lot and wishes to have a better and cleaner looking UI.

- (2022-08-05) Vlad Yusupov: Really nice one and useful! Thank You!
- (2022-07-24) Jump with the Devil: I really like the rounded look this extension adds. I've hated the flat 2D and sharp angles look things have had since 2012 or so when Microsoft introduced Windows 8. Watching videos on Youtube just feels a little nicer with a look more reminiscent of actual TVs. I like the borders around comment boxes too, but my only complaint is the spacing is just way too big. There's simply way too much wasted whitespace between comments or replies, leading to additional scrolling which is just annoying. I would appreciate if you could reduce the vertical distance between comments. Otherwise, a great extension!
