    Really, the only thing I lack is hardware acceleration on Linux. I loved this feature in Windows and miss it dearly

    is there a way to move the youtube OSD controls/buttons below the player (not autohide, just move), I would like this very much.

    5 stars only? that would not be a fair review. make this change and for sure I will even put a 6 star if possible.

    I want the video area to not have any kind of hud/control buttons/overlays obstructing the view, autohide of the control works but is distracting or obstrusive in some cases (like buttons bar obstructing the view of a detail in a video , specially if you try to point that detail with the mouse), so if the controls get moved out of the video area (below it) it will work great for me.

    hi! what do you mean? the screenshot & rotate button are visually fitting in & almost too far from the player. They are the only "lifeSign" from our extension by default, for new users. If they dont like it they should go have a look in the menu - or i guess uninstall if they forget it all - thats just the nature of it all. Many smiles! 5 stars only please. Even 4 harms.

    Not sure why but this extension really likes screenshots. Whenever I change any setting it takes a screenshot. Not only that, but for whatever reason, when I click on the "Themes" tab it takes 8 screenshots. It could be a compatibility issue with another extension but I can't be bothered to check right now.

    The "collapse comments" option is bugged, the dropdown won't show up. The extension is also messing with the text color of the buttons of the video page. The toggle to hide certain buttons (such as Clip and Thanks) is bugged as well, please fix!

    works great but current bug where middle-mouse click scroll does not work randomly on certain video pages.

    thanks. you mean since v4.1 march 12 ? didnt have an update for a long time before that
  • by Maltbrew, 2 years ago
    Thank you for fixing the dark theme bug! Unfortunately, the subs seem to be bugged now as the setting to have them auto on no longer works.

    hi :) just gotta wait for review "Listed Version: 4.4" "Next Listed Version: 4.6"
  • by LonWolfDan, 2 years ago
    Everything works well so far with this extension but, I immediately noticed a strange bug.

    On the YouTube Homepage, the thumbnails of each video that shows, have become invisible. I say "invisible" because, if I hover over the video, for a brief second, the thumbnail appears but quickly disappears??

    I also found out that, it's this extension itself that is causing this. When I disable the extension, everything goes back to normal, the thumbnails appear and don't disappear anymore. But, as soon as I re enable the extension, the same bug occurs.

    Please reply back to this review as soon as you can please and let me know what could be happening here, I'd appreciate it!

    It was great until the extension kept on redirecting me into channel posts whenever I clicked on a video or scrolled on the YouTube homepage.

    after the 4.1 update? :-O
    4.2 pending!
  • by Mojo, 2 years ago
    Does not block channels, tags, or categories as it claims. Only option to "block" is a button that appears when hovering over video and it only blocks the video; as evidenced by their menu options under "Blacklist" only the videos option populates when block is chosen. Only blocks single videos. Videos that are "blocked" only change opacity and still remain on the page. Zero documentation or instructions for use, even on github

    hi! exactly!♥ - a free volunteer product service since 10 years, often daily. with approx 78 in 80 features working.
    if you write the documentation that will motivate me. can you include .gifs?

    Also.. btw. Just to make fair reviews, consider the whole, since you chose to try the whole after reading the description. (being their means it matters to us and might be repaird or enhanced right next. Maybe before caring for my health. If you would review a 100-in-1 swiss multi-tool, you also wont stop after the first one. Then you still cant review. (or it might be mistaken/unintentionally harmful. (yet the effect of an angry 1 start. might surely amass to a 1000 users less and fewer voluneer urs when we are 99% "understaffed" )...

    :)

    Intuitive, but not very powerful.
