Suspected performance issues ongoing since late autumn early winter 2024 - currently operating Firefox with extension disabled and haven't had to restart for over 24hrs. Will try to follow up in a week or so.

OMG! This addon is too powerful, it makes YouTube so much customisable. I love it. I hope it will be continuously developed and updated. It also blocks ads in built, so useful. The 1-star reviews r not true, and i hope this project will hav continued donations. Unfortunately, i aint got the money to donate :(

Btw its not a bot review :)

it crash browser if you try to browse channels

A fairly decent extension for YT except that it is losing some of the most desirable functions for some reason. The skip ad feature doesn't work at all no matter what option you choose.

I wouldn't mind the ads so much and let many of them play except for the fact that most of them are so ridiculous, it's like a video example of the kind of ads you find in the National Enquirer. They're utterly unbelievable (or should be), but for whatever reason it appears the same kind of marketing and advertising laws and regulations just don't seem to apply on the internet. You can claim just about anything or misrepresent, twist and bend truth with fact to confuse people into believing things with abandon. Its the same kind of tactics the consrevativce media has been using increasingly since the 1980s. It's been going on for two generations now and trying to point this out, prove fallacy with fact is impossible. And for this, I don't think I nor anyone else should be required to watch this nonsense, I don't care if it's how these videos are monetized or not. Lying and manipulation for the sake of selling product is not an excusable reason. Sorry, I'm one of the few that still believes in ethics in this society. And really, as far as YT is concerned, it wouldn't exist at all if people didn't upload videos to begin with, so I'm not one to fall on my knees in tears over the plight of YT not making enough money to keep its investors happy. They could all go f**k themselves.

To continue...

As for the functions of this extension that seemed to have ceased to work, the mixer section does not register any open tabs and thus does not work. And, should you reload your page you will have to hit the extension pinned to your toolbar to get it to begin functioning at all with those options that still work. Sad really. Because for what it is supposed to do, it offers much in a very compact and easy to use design.

Great, but the video quality is as if you put a face-softening filter on. I prefer a natural video

was 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 :/

because of this extension, YouTube started to hang heavily on my PC, which eventually results in a banner saying that the tab slows down firefox, the same thing on the second PC, but it freezes TIGHTLY.
the exclusion method revealed this extension. oh, it inspired great hopes 😭😭😭

ok, I won't rate it "unfairly".

Please add an option to move the position of YouTube's subtitles. I believe this feature is built-in on PC, but it's not available on Android. Adding it would be a great improvement.

I am on android Firefox 133.0 with ImproveTube 4.1122

Ad block isn't working

"Shorts" hiding on homepage isn't working

Its about high time i gave this a great review. without extensions like this one youtube is simply unusable. trim out all the fluff, get rid of all the influencer garbage, the unfair algorythms promoting constant garbage in your face, this extension does a great job at just cleaning up your youtube and finally make it just about the content again. i've been using this for many years now, i should have reviewed it much earlier, but hey better late than never, i hope!

The import/export settings buttons do not work.
The live chat collapsed option has the same behavior as normal, while the hide option leaves an empty space on the right side of the window, collapsing the video description and the recommended videos.

Please add customize for short video.
