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

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)
