- (2024-04-15) Thaddeus Warner: Thanks for this. Works great. EDIT 04/14/24: Progress bar no longer appears. Hopefully a fix is on the way. Arrow keys still work to seek.
- (2023-11-12) Hayden: Just what I needed. For some reason youtube is stupid enough to add the progress bar and skipping forward and back to mobile but not pc.
- (2023-11-01) Joe Hrivnak: Fantastic... why didn't Google do this?
- (2023-10-26) Дмитрий: После 10-15 видео начинает жутко тормозить пролистывание, при отключенном расширении такого нет.
- (2023-10-22) Shazarakk account 1: Adds all the stuff they for some dumbass reason got rid of. works perfectly
- (2023-10-21) N7NobodyCats: extension no longer works, like it works, if you refresh the page, but the volume slider, and skip back and forth with arrow keys dont work, im holding the keys, and tapping them, volume wont go up or down and i cant scrub back and forth with the keys i have to do it manually with the mouse.
- (2023-10-11) Christopher Nguyen: Downloaded it and tried it 5 seconds later. Exactly what I wanted
- (2023-10-07) Jonathan M: they can try, but it keeps coming back. thank you.
- (2023-10-04) Can Buyukbasaran (progCan): I CANT LIVE WITHOUT THIS!! its GREAT! ITS A ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE! first of all there is rewinding time (the one thing shorts are missing) you can click in the progress bar to rewind too. also there a so many bad shorts on youtube shorts. like so so so low quality ones. and the new feature of skipping shorts with fewer likes than [insert whatever you putted to that value here] which fixes that.
- (2023-10-02) Darvin Lamvin: Yeah.. Idk what to say, other than its great, you can fast forward or rewind videos and FINALLY adjust the damn volume.
- (2023-09-29) 黃柏榮: 超棒的short改善程式
- (2023-09-29) darnil СК: Блин, как же бесит что люди делают работу лучше за компанию, у которой бесконечно денег Которая не может просто дать возможность уменьшать громкость в шотсах Автору лайк, а вот ютубу дизлайк
- (2023-09-29) John Garcia: Pretty good, however a bug I'm running into now is that the volume would abruptly be at max volume at random points of my viewing session
- (2023-09-29) Caleb (Elouise): It was fine until it stopped working, all the additional buttons that it adds just suddenly vanished. I tried reinstalling it but it didn't work other then that its good just fix the box k luv u bai!
- (2023-09-28) BravGo: it stopped working today
- (2023-09-28) Ender Draws: this is a really good extension!, now I can look back on short without rewatching it
- (2023-09-23) Yootz: There's a bug, when you view the comments, the buttons move to the inside of the video, but when that happens, i can't adjust the volume because the buttons are blocking the volume slider, please fix that, thank you.
- (2023-09-21) irşat akdeniz: It's super useful but there is a problem with opening the comments. It doesn't open it, scroll down, and the next video has its comments open.
- (2023-09-21) celestial rub: amazing extension 👍🤗
- (2023-09-21) ayyant: always been great but as of 9/21 ive had a bug that only lets me see the comments for every other short

- (2023-08-30) Cristobal Parra: si alguien valora esto con menos de 5 estrellas no tiene cerebro
- (2023-08-29) nacho vidal: the default shortcut keys for prev frame and next frame are period and comma? i guest they should be comma for prev and period for next, right? anyway, your little extension is wonderful.

- (2023-11-16, v:3.2.2) Chaz Burton: SERVER_BAD_CONTENT
Had this extension before and loved it but am now getting SERVER_BAD_CONTENT when trying to add to chrome or opera. Not sure if it's on google's side but maybe you can fix? Thank you - (2023-10-26, v:3.2.0) Дмитрий: lags
Scrolling lags after 10-15 shorts. - (2023-10-14, v:3.1.0) Christian Tynes: Add an upload date somewhere
It's annoying having to do multiple clicks to find the upload date - (2023-09-21, v:2.8.3) Christian Tynes: The comment button opens the previous or next videos comments but not current video.
Problem stops when extension is disabled.
