posted 4 years agohey! ♥ oh, really? we just started the firefox version. maybe we still have to disable a feature or two here. join us on https://github.com/code4charity/YouTube-Extension. Firefox thread: https://github.com/code4charity/YouTube-Extension/issues/440 ( if we had uploaded 80 single extensions 1 with one feature. maybe your rating would be 4.98 stars in average 😆😁) - Rated 5 out of 5by Obaid Ur Rahman, 4 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16788659, 4 years agoNow I can finally make a switch to Firefox! I was missing this addon on Firefox a lot, now that they added it I can give it 5 stars. This is one of a kind extension, nothing comes close to having such feature-rich + intuitive interface extension options. A must have for anyone watching a lot of Youtube!
- Rated 2 out of 5by UPukaJRm, 4 years agoI decided this add on did too much and I was concerned about the company's revenue model. So I removed the add on but my YouTube stayed stuck in Dark Mode. I added it back on, disabled the Dark Mode theme, removed the add on again BUT it was still stuck in Dark Mode. I rolled back to a back up from 2 days ago. I do not recommend this add on.

2021: Hi :) Dark Theme is only Youtube's setting anymore. (top right menu of on www.youtube.com!) - We might rename it to be clear "Dark(from youtube)". (The other themes, including black/OLED are made by us) (you could also use our button to remove Youtube's cookie).
You might easily notice the addon runs 100% offline & does nothing (until you tell it to edit your youtube styles or playback). And that the code is open & pure. Please review our volunteer initiative: https://github.com/code4charity/Youtube-extension. Please revise the star rating.
Many smiles! - Rated 2 out of 5by LezBoyd, 4 years agoI downloaded it for one singular purpose, which is for reversing playlists. But this is a very fickle feature, and hasn't worked for me yet.
First, it would un-reverse the playlist as soon as it loaded the next video. I restarted Firefox and this no longer happens, but it still auto-plays the next video as per the original order instead of the reversed order.
So either I am missing out on configuring something, or this is a bug in the extension that needs fixing. I hope the developer responds to this and helps me out.
Answer to Developer: "reversing Playlists works visually only + reverses skip buttons. yet youtube's autoplay doesn't consider the reverse order" - This is important information to mention in your extension's description. Also, you do not have a help section to explain the various features in detail at your website. Your website seems focused only on reporting issues before writing a review, and not really helping your user understand how to use your extension.
When one reads "reverse playlist" the natural expectation is that it also reverses the auto-play order, not just the visual order. Why would I want to just view a list in reverse? I would most llikely also want to play it in reverse. Maybe this is why this feature is getting so many complaints. I would suggest either updating your description to say "reverse playlists (visually only, does not reverse play order)", or reverse the play order also when "reverse playlist" option is enabled.
Anyway, having said that, I did try out other features and so far they work well, and the interface is also clean and easy to navigate. But I was looking for an extension to help me play lists in reverse order, which your extension claimed to do, but doesn't. Hence, I am not going to update my rating. I will definitely give you better rating if you fix this.Developer response
posted 4 years ago2022: Hey! we found a great solution, sorry to notify you late, but please try again!! :)
2021: hi! =) oww sorry, first time you tried? This is the least singular extension...( Likely you find more features useful. We try hard: https://github.com/code4charity/YouTube-Extension/issues?q=playlist+reverse+ - Should we split this into 100 extensions, to have a deserved amount of success?) - Yes, reversing Playlists works visually only + reverses skip buttons. yet youtube's autoplay doesn't consider the reverse order. - Hopefully we can still fix this futureproof - But if Youtube changes break it again we will just have to remove the word "reverse" from the descriptions... (unless we get funding to work on everything all the time). (Unfortunately this feature brought the most negative reviews. We got resilience in catching up, but a feature should not cost as much & harm the project, while other nice features need no updates for very long periods of time.) Appreciated if you update the stars. - Rated 5 out of 5by bingoweb, 4 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Dark with Green Highlights, 4 years agoIt works fine in my Edge browser. But in firefox, ALL customization I made in Setting don't change anything in my Youtube.
(edit1: Customization now somehow works. So, this review I undo)
(edit2: I agree with another reviewer that this Extension is FICKLE. For example, though I set the Sidebar in Appearance to be 'Collapsed'. One time, sidebar would be collapsed as set. Another time or in the next video, it acts normal, i.e. still shown.
================
And worse than that, though video is loading, it CANNOT be played. Every time I press the Play button it would immediately stop. Only when I turn off the extension, my Youtube starts playing again.
(edit: Videos can now be played normally after a new release)Developer response
posted 4 years agohi! ohh sidebar Appearance? in future pageviews, or old tabs? We got 350.000 users but only 100 in firefox now. And spent soo much work for these 100. Lets see whats left to fix! thanks

Did you feel hurt? We are giving a free gift to the world and we are sensitive. The paused/stuck player can (only) have happened if you have disabled autoplay in ImprovedTube. So I just disabled this feature (version 3.186), since it became obsolete, since youtube has an autoplay button.

hi, it works, please try again. We work hard on Github & you can report any bug here: https://github.com/code4charity/YouTube-Extension (maybe you can reconstruct the issue & describe exactly. Thanks! Please adjust the bad stars. Many smiles! - Rated 5 out of 5by Arcoirys, 4 years ago
