- (2025-07-31) Love it first and foremost. Thank you for your time and effort to help us regulars. Next update, can you take care of the new more video overlay? Much appreciated in advance.
- (2025-07-30) liked this extension before, but now it doesn't work with youtube's new ui change, please update to make it revert youtube's bad changes at same time while using it. the video player is litterally broken :(
- (2025-07-29) please add functions: - turn off playback in feed on cursor - turn off subtitles - turn off ambient lighting
- (2025-07-29) 5/5? More like 10/10. If you hate the regular YT controls and NEED more, or just simply want a better and more open experience, get this addon. It's exactly like YouTube Enhancer that I had back in the day when I had FireFox, this addon SLAPS. I SOOOOOOOOOO MISSED THE VIDEO SPEED THINGY!!! I love the fact I can hover over the icon, use my mousewheel, and change the playback speed by whatever I choose it to be. ALSO YOU CAN GO ABOVE 2x SPEED FOLKS!!! YEAH!!! You can SKIP that BS yapping session that was in the stream you missed, and get right to where you wanna be without skipping too far ahead. By FAR my most favorite feature. ALSO I love that you can use the video filters thing live.
- (2025-07-28) it seems kinda overwhelming with all of these variety of settings, but I see that you've got an infinite potential, given that YouTube is trying to liquid (gl)assify the whole dang youtube player with oversized buttons and a volume slider turnt sideways.
- (2025-07-27) life saver
- (2025-07-27) wish I knew this existed long time ago, but I'm glad I discovered this now.
- (2025-07-27) its not working, its a big pile of junk.. DOES NOT REMOVE THE ANNOYING SHORTS.. what a waste. no matter what extention, GOOGLE love to shove those ANNOYING YOUTUBE SHORTS IN my face. which i dont care for.. its about WORTHLESS AS THE REST OF THE ANNOYING ADD-ONS DOES NOT REMOVE ALL THE TRASH FROM YOUTUBE
- (2025-07-26) It was great to use this extension, but now shorts are back in my Youtube page, even though I checked the "Hide Shorts" option :(
- (2025-07-26) Amazing extension that fixes the large thumbnail view that youtube is pushing on users. To fix: -Install ext. -Go into settings and adjust: Appearance > Videos per row: "x" to your desired amount
- (2025-07-26) Essential extension for YT.
- (2025-07-26) This has been a 5-star and first install extension for me for many years. Nothing else I've tried comes close to the feature set and responsiveness to changes made by YouTube. EDIT (2025-07-25): I'm hoping Maxime can get those of us that have been hit with YouTube's new giant bubble interface monstrosity back to some semblance of normality soon.
- (2025-07-26) I really appreciate this extension, and the work put into it, but the new UI is a mess. Ruins the experience of what was once great.
- (2025-07-25) Very good! But the new controls style is too big and not good
- (2025-07-25) Overclaiming featured. Many functions not work or sometime(but often) stop working, not caused by interfered/interupted with other extension because I used it ONLY.
- (2025-07-25) Good
- (2025-07-24) a must have if you spent any time on youtube .. i just truly hope we can get an option to get the old "theatre mode" back .. because the new one i dislike very much.
- (2025-07-23) goat extension
- (2025-07-23) great extention
- (2025-07-22) Very useful. Can you add the option to hide "top news"?
- (2025-07-21) Please, update to new version youtube player. I change my rating 🤗
- (2025-07-21) great
- (2025-07-20) Please, update to new version youtube player. I change my rating 🤗
- (2025-07-20) ten of 10
- (2025-07-20) Amazing for multi tasking with their pop out player feature which also has no ads while the video is popped out
- (2025-07-20) Many things in this extension have been disabled successfully by YouTube with the developers sleeping this fact out. No doubt, this app was the pioneer and I have been using this for nearly 20 plus years on my other YouTube account, but now there are other good apps which really do what they say....for instance... blocking shorts (most important) and other unwanted junk. This app now fails to do it. So with a sorry heart ...I have switched to a different app
- (2025-07-19) just what it is, just perfect to have and hold!!!
- (2025-07-19) This is awesome. I've been using this for years now. The only feature I wish it had (and I don't even know if is possible) is to disable YouTube from translating video titles and using AI generated audio tracks by default based on my language preferences. I'm from Brazil, but my computer is set in English, it is extremely annoying when I click on a Brazilian content creator video and its title is in English (and as it's a literal translation sometimes it doesn't make any sense...) or worse, it starts playing with an awful AI generated english dubbed audio track, when I just want to hear the default audio.
- (2025-07-16) Been using it for years. Awesome extension.
- (2025-07-16) Great extension. But I have a suggestion for new feature. Could you do something to disable automatic translations of video titles and descriptions. It's very annoying that youtube forces us to display content only in local language.
- (2025-07-14) Love it. Only missing the ability to hide the Latest Posts feature. Had to resort to uBlock Origin for that.
- (2025-07-14) No shorts, no related videos. Epic :]
- (2025-07-14) This absolutely makes browsing Youtube more useful. If you spend a lot of time on YT, then this extension will make your life much better.
- (2025-07-12) Thanks for this great extension! But please add the below feature to the autoplay. I think that will make the autoplay experience whole lot better. Similar to the "Pause videos playing in background tabs when a video starts playing in the foreground tab" option, we need an option to "Resume video playing in foreground tab which was previously auto paused when another video in foreground tab was played." In the current version, coming back to a foreground tab which was auto paused earlier doesn't autoplay so we have to manually press play each time.
- (2025-07-12) It works really well for everything I use it for. The only issue I have with it is the Volume Booster not always enabling properly. This used be to a rare problem when I first started using the extension, but now it's almost every video. It won't enable properly in the background. I assume it's some kind of race condition where some service isn't being started up properly or something. I say this because the icon says it's enabled, but after clicking it twice - off and on- nothing appears to happen. The only fix, albeit temporary, is refreshing the video
- (2025-07-11) 1) Youtube video player UI got updated. This extension adds a picture in picture button on the video player which is misaligned. There is no option to disable it in settings. 2) There is no full reset button anywhere. Removed for now until its fixed. Otherwise its a great extension for low end devices as well.
- (2025-07-11) I switched from improve youtube to this extensions Mini player works well
- (2025-07-10) PERFECT just what i thought it was but there was no color backround theme sadly :(
- (2025-07-10) Must have extension for YouTube. Was 5/5 stars, but now changed to 4/5, as setting [Automatically expand the video player] causes a top to buttom green line to the right of videos.
- (2025-07-09) this is perfect extensios
- (2025-07-08) Recently started lagging out and acting glitchy.
- (2025-07-06) This extension should have additional category "Wellbeing" as that tool keeps me sane. It was driving me crazy that I couldn't set up global playback preferences on YT. It is a MUST HAVE extension - clean, simple, robust and actually FREE (no ads, sign ins, cards, spam etc)
- (2025-07-05) Missing some sanity features such as when you get a video opened in the foreground, and it pauses the background video, then you close the tab and focus on the previous background video, it should allow auto resume for a more seamless experience where the video will be resumed. Yes, this should be a toggle.
- (2025-07-04) new update completly broke my youtube
- (2025-07-04) doesn't work
- (2025-07-04) now i only see few vids in main page, if i zoom out the texts just become small but the video still 3-4 videos only
- (2025-07-01) disable youtube Ambient mode
- (2025-06-30) Add "1080p Premium enhanced bitrate" playback quality option
- (2025-06-30) super!
- (2025-06-29) Thank you
