- (2023-11-06) Ayumu Belfegor: Reverse playlist not working anymore
- (2023-10-24) neeraja tatake: been using Improved YouTube for a two and a half years now. Suddenly the reverse playlist option is not working and neither is it's icon showing up for us to switch the whole playlist from 3, 2,1 to 1,2,3...please fix this.
- (2023-10-10) onlain laiko: جيد جدا
- (2023-10-06) Hoschen: WOW! This replaces so many extensions I have installed
- (2023-09-12) Alex King: 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.
- (2023-08-20) Ginseng: Great features that I use everyday. Biggest ones for me are re-sizing video so it fills the whole screen without being fullscreen, forcing a specific resolution instead of whatever YouTube chooses (usually 480p), hiding the top bar, and built-in ad blocker. Devs seem pretty responsive and quick to solve issues, so that's great too.
- (2023-07-29) JK: 非常非常好用,推荐下载!
- (2023-06-30) Colby Lynes (YouColbyTV): the fit to window doesnt work properly on ultrawide monitor anymore.. i need this fixed please
- (2023-06-13) mee zi: its close to perfect! give u 4 star, may i ask u how to enable translation in the comment section
- (2023-04-30) Daymon: Most things work well though with Google and YouTube it has to be in uphill battle constantly I'm sure too give people options for their personal preferences concerning how they watch their videos. Google and YouTube seem to have this delusional God complex at its highest levels that give them the insane notion that they know what is best for people more than People Know about themselves. You can even compare how similar YouTube itself is like a enormous thrift store of talent and creativity that is donated for free to these bastards and the greedy executives are inventing price tags for the consumers of content that they had nothing to do with and should be grateful for even being allowed to showcase. Yet the attitude seems to be as if they had created all of these entertaining and educational videos and the platform is just there political and money making agenda of liberal Freedom hating socialist viewpoints.
- (2023-04-12) blockshift 758: im only giving 3 stars because this is a BETA. but definitely will make it higher in the future. its still on beta but the thing that is already there are all amazing but some modifications are still needed like. like adding a separate scrollbar for the comments specially when its in the sidebar putting the comments on the sidebar also causes problem like recommended videos overlapping with the video player. definitely a great extension.
- (2023-03-24) TheBullhorn Streamer: Still going to give this 4 stars because good luck getting anything close to this anywhere else... But it's not really working with the Dev or Canary version of Edge (I had to install those two versions because of the new ChatGPT4 AI Chat/Search, that's now built into Edge, a couple weeks ago it was a requirement if you wanted AI Chat/Search, not sure about now though)... It's not forcing youtube to always be greater than 1080p, it defaults to 480 even on a 1 gig UP/Down Xfinity internet connection... I'll try using the Edge version and see if that works VS. the Chrome extension. And I'll report back my experience. (Note: This is more of a "ME" problem I know, but just want to inform the Dev about this issue)
- (2023-03-20) Kal Snyder: 1---Make subtitile stay in the same position when cursor or control bar appears(It still moves even I hide the entire control bar); 2---Force auto-generate subtitle in some videos that not support any subtitles; 3---Place control bar in the individual position out of the entire video window at the bottom; 4---Integrate chapter titles to the progress bar of control bar; ----This is the Jedi way, my master.----
- (2023-03-20) aman amana456: this beta version fix volume shortcut when i use ImproveYoutube normal version. I set volume by mouse wheel ,but it make page to scroll down/up..not the volume.But this beta version fix it. So maybe i use this beta version for a while until the dev fix the normal version. One more thing, i love to have auto mini player when i scroll down the comments. Like Iridium extension did. it also have slight trasnparent background which very nice,where i can see related videos at the back. If ImproveYoutube have this auto mini player when scroll down the comments, let me know or teach me how to set it up. For now, i have to manually click pop up player ,mini player if want to scroll down the comments
- (2023-03-14) 杨迅: 非常非常好用,推荐下载!
- (2023-03-11) harold Lam: The only problem is it is not working
- (2023-03-07) 라이징썬: 요 근래에 해당 프로그램을 활성화 하고 유튜브를 재생하면 계속 해서 새로고침을 반복하는 버그에 걸립니다. 비활성화 하거나 프로그램을 삭제하면 정상 작동됩니다.
- (2023-03-05) Colin Stuart: DID love this extension, but a few days ago this extension totally breaks youtube. If you set YT to dark mode, this addon now flips it back to light mode. If you look at the sub page, it constantly refreshes the whole page over and over cycling behind the themes. It also no longer applies the 2x speed either. PLEASE FIX theme / reload issue and speed issue.
- (2023-02-14) duk6046: 이상하게 특정 채널 들어가면 페이지를 표시할 수 없다고 뜨네요 에드온을 꺼야만 들어가집니다 https://www.youtube.com/@SBSKPOP
- (2023-02-03) Diane James: "Improve Youtube is a fantastic tool for content creators and video enthusiasts alike. The platform offers a wide range of features that make video editing and publishing a breeze. The user interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, making it accessible to users of all levels of expertise. The editing tools are robust and allow for precise adjustments, while the export options provide high-quality output. I particularly appreciate the integration with other popular platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram, making it easy to share my videos across multiple platforms. Overall, I highly recommend Improve Youtube for anyone looking to improve their video production workflow."
- (2022-12-09) André Kbludo: Ultimamente está travando o youtube e só funciona depois de desativar a axtenção
- (2022-11-25) Миша Маврин: Расширение перестало нормально функционировать, одна часть функции не работает, другая часть делает это с проблемами. Весь сайт стал работать с багами пришлось отключить. Пользоваться им стало просто не реально.
- (2022-11-19) Титан Первый: Awesome extension. But it removes button bar due to bug. I can give only one star untill it fixed
- (2022-10-26) Abrachi Ach: Excellent
- (2022-09-06) Tristan Fluckiger: cool features thanks for all that i will made a 5 stars note when the codecs tab is fixed my gtx970 don't work with vp9 and i need to install h264ify to block vp9
- (2022-08-27) Dale Foster: A toggle for comments in the sidebar would be perfect otherwise nice extension :D
- (2022-08-09) Parakeet709: It is awesome, just some fixes needed.. A; A fullscreen theater mode. I installed a userstyle on stylus a bit ago (many months) and it breaks with the extension on. B; More features. I like the other fonts, but they are not appealing to me. I would like to use a local font. I also would like more themes.; Overall, this is a awesome extension, ngl.
- (2022-08-07) Stellan Irungu: Wonderful.
- (2022-08-04) Timmy Barklin (TimBarkley): Hide "Details" buttons dont work
- (2022-07-17) Magna Castro: Top!
- (2022-07-15) wcsutto: Used to be a 5 star app, but now nothing seems to be working consistently. The 'reverse playlist' function was the thing I used the most, now I can't get that to appear no matter everything I try. Have even tried the beta but still no luck.
- (2022-07-10) Hà Lê: palatable
- (2022-06-23) Димитър Димитров: For testint addong is very nice
- (2022-06-15) Google account: I like it a lot and it makes my YouTube browsing so much better! One thing I have to say though is that I was testing around and in "Appearance, Comments" the hide avatar button allows me to hide avatars but NEVER get them back without uninstalling this app. If this gets fixed then this is an incredibly cool application and I can't find any other bugs!
- (2022-03-09) Come On Fhqwhgads: I don't know if you can, but if possible, please ad an option to hide videos that are shorter than 1 minute, or anything labeled as a "short."
- (2022-01-17) Brian Smith: Would you please add: Resume watching videos from the last moment when the page is refreshed.
- (2021-12-01) realdiezta: the adblock is not work, subtitles too
- (2021-11-20) Tyler: My all-time favorite extension. I've been using it for nearly two years and it has greatly improved my YouTube experience. My favorite features are 1) being able to set the default quality and 2) being able to resize the video to the full window. The developer of this is legit a wizard. I have no idea how they made this. There is no other YouTube extension out there that can do as much as this one, or do it as well as this one. 5 out of 5 stars. Highly recommended.
- (2021-06-11) Mirhadi Jamshidi: - setting sidebar to be on the left, each time the page refreshes It goes back to right again. - when switching the tabs video starts to play not matter if you I've paused it or not. normally It should respect the playing status.
- (2021-05-18) Eberhard L.: With the latest build, I have the problem that when winding or watching the video, the volume is suddenly automatically set back to low.
- (2021-05-16) Test Airline: Great plugin, when ad skip is on, it wont skip 15 second ads.
- (2021-02-25) Ravehub Kazantsev: Отлично, продолжайте улучшать.
- (2021-02-19) Jess: I was a bit disappointed with the reverse playlist option. :C Was hoping it would help fix those long playlists made up of several hundred vids from a single person (when the option to add a playlist isn't there), but instead it can only handle, what looks to be 79 or 80 videos and stops there. Not bad, but ultimately not what I was looking for. Overall good though.
- (2021-02-17) esgalmir: Seems good.
- (2021-02-17) Leo: please bring auto like option.
- (2021-02-01) bfkerek: Since 2020 autumn, block 4k@60Fps to 30Fps still not work. My Pc can handle 4k@30 and some of 4k@60 , I use from years this extension for chrome to downgrade 4k60 to 30... but the google made something with youtube few monuths ago, since then neither this nor other similar ones work. ( if block 60 to 30 te resulution is go down 720p!)
- (2021-01-06) maxdax80: miniplayer not work
- (2020-12-28) 짱이승: 재생 목록중 반대로 기능을 활성화하면 새로고침하면 ↑↓버튼이 검은색으로 나오며 그거 누르면 뒤바뀌긴 하지만 뒤바뀐 후에 영상을 새로고침해도 그 영상이 끝나고 다음 영상으로 넘어가지 않는다면 뒤바뀐상태 그대로 유지되긴 하는데 그상태에서 다음 영상으로 넘어가면 무조건 재생목록의 최근영상이 틀어지고 재생목록 순서는 그대로일때도 있고 다시 원래대로 되돌아갈때도 있습니다. 그리고 유튜브 되감기속도란게 있는데 이 기능이 대체 무엇인지 단축키는 뭔지 단축키에서도 안나와있네요. 되감기 속도란게 원래 있었던가? 싶기도하고. 예전에 재생속도 조절하는거랑 재생속도 조절하는 단축키같은게 있었던것 같은데 그건 사라졌네요.
- (2020-11-19) salwa bahari: Nice. Will use in future.
- (2020-11-14) Jose visamon: muy buena extension...buen trabajo..
