Notable changes for v0.0.8 :

  • Default CDN updated to jsDeliver
  • Removed MaxCDN as an option

Quick background: I use a Windows 7 machine where color emojis are not supported. I used several other extensions but noticed that they were rather old and did not support newer emojis. I couldn't find an updated one so I decided to create my own. Works great on my machine, so hopefully it also works correctly on yours.

現在,這款擴充功能會造成 YouTube 任意影片播放開始後數秒至 1 ~ 2 分鐘間自動重載,慎用! Now this extension may cause any YouTube video to automatically reload suddenly, from seconds to 1~2 minutes after playback starts. Use with caution!

I finally figured out this was the reason my YouTube experience had gone down the drain. Most videos would take 20+ seconds to load after clicking, then would reload again 20 seconds into the video.
