User reviews

As of this month, some YouTube videos have 480p as the max quality while this extension is enabled. I disabled it and the problem disappeared. I'll rate it 5 stars once it's fixed.

It needs an option to add a scroll bar to the sidebar and stop leaving the home page blank when you hit the youtube button

Ezio Drívin, 2024-04-24

One of the best tools to customise YouTube. But it has some issues. - Performance issues, it seems like my youtube is lagging after changing the appearance for youtube players. (player, comments, recommendation...) - Since this is a test extention, there are some scale problems with youtube recommendation below the youtube description. The grid seems like too small for me (i hope there's a way to change the size)
