- Rated 1 out of 5by noraef, a month agoVery slow (even by youtube standards), whatever what the dev will say: sometimes takes almost a minute to load a youtube video, and often will fail to load the full page, with the comments.
Very buggy: again, often failing to load a page fully, the mini-player suddenly not appearing anymore when scrolling down, or among many others, the limiting to H.264 not working reliably (to be fair, it only reliably works with enhanced-h264ify, whichever main youtube extension I use). Even the menu is buggy: the search bar will always cover the link to go back in the menu (so one has to close that search bar again and again), and if used in the extension panel (as opposed to using it pinned), it won't even fit the window properly, lol!
Fortunately, I discovered a little used extension (Tweaks for youtube: only about 3k users, which is baffling), that is great where Improve youtube isn't at all. I tested them all, and that's the only one I'll keep. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18744881, 3 months agowas working for a period of time but in the last month any settings used would lag youtube; back button and pause taking forever.
removed extension and youtube stared working again, unfortunate as it was a good addition :/Developer response
posted 3 months agohi! :) please don't rate us wrongfully but mind this doesn't start or end with your usage. This is a hardworking volunteer initiative since 12 years, with 150 contributors on github, and inspite we modestly have to race uphill all them time during Youtube changes.
Please don't buy or spread baseless rumors about lags. (Every software will take some time (lke 0.001 second). We changed nothing mad a minor visual update 10 days ago, none in November Developer response
posted 4 months agoSince when and how exactly? please join us on Github for a bug report if you can. (Also Firefox reviews are not meant for single feature bug reports. You aren't supposed to vote us down like this) thanks- Rated 1 out of 5by Islam Nurmagomedov, 7 months agoThis extension makes YT lags as hell. I swear to God. I uninstalled it and it went back to normal.

posted 7 months agoNo! :) How come, just 2 hours before your comment, when i answered "💕", i felt it is predictable that it will make somebody try getting negative attention? - While this may be removed unless you edit/correct it, you can also do something that will earn positive. Kind regards - Rated 1 out of 5by Zharay, 7 months agoSick and tired of having features work then break then back again without any real explanation. Almost got to the point to which I was going to switch back to Chrome until I found the extension I was using there finally got ported to Firefox.
A valiant effort, but plagued by too many bugs. Developer response
posted 7 months agoCheck again please. v4.1090. - Player features work, appearance features might not (because it is a different layout). BTW: reviews are not for specific bug reports or support, but are supposed to judge the product as a whole.- Rated 1 out of 5by Paul, 8 months ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Wagner, 10 months agode fato nenhum supera o falecido youtube enhancer... esse até tinha boa proposta e algumas opções apesar de bem cru, mas o mais importante não cumpriu, que é bloquear o lixo cibernético (refiro a propagandas)

De extensie kan de inhoud van webpagina’s die u in het opgegeven domein bezoekt lezen, evenals gegevens die u in deze webpagina’s invoert, zoals gebruikersnamen en wachtwoorden. Developer response

Developer response
posted a year agohi, please rate us for all of our (100+) features. (Otherwise it is not fair, compared to all other extensions.)
Also: This is a "misplaced support requested": the button is on the channel pages (we can add it on channels too to be easy to find, but we already do 100s of things for free and it is impossible to do every possible thing users imagine). A volunteer recently even revised this whole feature though! AND the feature is displayed small & las,t because we might retire one day, since YouTube also offers such by now. - Rated 1 out of 5by ee, a year agoOffers good functionalities, but seems rarely able to enforce them. E.g. I almost always have to turn autoplay off and cancel up next videos manually. It's features are well thought out; it's just wildly inconsistent.
edit:
what even was that drivel? how is this rating-manipulating heckling even allowed on AMO?Developer response
posted a year agoHi there, read again maybe? Whats not supposed to do here is misplacing support requests in reviews. Be assured an author's comment can be relevant more easily. You might not want to launch wrongful attacks here either like "wildly inconsistent".
---
Hi there, several people confused the number of options and how specific they are: Autoplay means if a video is starting to play at page load without a click. Disabling "Up next Autoplay" is another features that you want to use separately (or both, your choice).
(Most of our users yet bring the interest/geek to watch up to 100 switches. )
Also please consider that no matter what we work for free since 11 years and 100s of times than most extensions with a single feature never requiring an update. So we deserve more than 5 stars. Our features are consistently developed and some might (or might not) temporarily have issues after YouTube changes. (Since YouTube doesn't announce these changes, it is the best we can possibly do. The only hope to manage this 24/7 service perfectly is many users and luckily we grow. Slowly tho. With every bad and inaccurate review it gets worst, my hope goes down. That's the purpose of review. You decide if you want such to be attempted any further or just not bother, or even vote it down to make it stop existing.)
