| 2024-12-19 |  | | en | There is no way to allow a popup to show. This disrupts the ability to report a video. I'm fine with a notification, but the notification should have a button to allow the popup to come through. I'm using Brave, a Chrome variant. |
| 2024-06-08 |  | | en | When youtube pops up with the "are you still watching message" the popuptamer just, stops the video, has its own different popup that goes away after 5 seconds and then... does not continue the video? I dont get it? This is just a texture pack/reskin for the "are you still watching popup"? |
| 2022-08-21 |  | | Disabled youtubes' history tracking. I'm assuming this is a bug but it's bad enough for me to uninstall it. | |

| 2022-03-03 |  | | Before it worked great, but for some unknown reason it prevented watched videos from appearing in my history. It's not disabled/paused since on mobile and other devices without this extension the history works as intended. Also I wish there was an option to block the pop-ups without showing a tiny pop-up on it's own. While it is much less annoying than the original pop-ups, I got this extension to block pop-ups, not have new ones in it's place. It also made things like deleting comments just happen when you click delete button (no confirmation as it's a pop-up). | |
