- Sort by date isn't on it anymore. Yes, I AM aware of why that is so save the explanation, but that feature was the main reason I actually got this extension and if it weren't for a number of other features that I find useful I would have uninstalled. So only 3 stars I'm afraid.

- I got this for 2 reasons. Reason 1: control over the size of thumbnails and how much is shown on home page. This is wonderful for that. Reason 2: stop autoplay of all kinds, this has the option but currently it does not function. Autoplay is a really annoying peeve of mine and no matter what I do I can't stop youtube from autoplaying. This has some other awesome tools I didn't know I wanted until I had them. Its a good extension, but if you want to stop autoplay just know it presently isn't working.
