User Reviews

Overall, users praise YouTube Enhancer for delivering its claimed features and improving the YouTube experience. It’s actively maintained with frequent updates and is a solid open-source (FOSS) alternative to closed-source extensions. Key strengths include useful enhancements like playback speed via SHIFT+Scroll and other playback/UI tweaks. Recurrent drawbacks focus on UI desires to restore the old look, occasional settings instability and reversion, and the lack of a mini-player in comments. Strong functionality with room for polish.

Pros

Does what it claims and improves the YouTube experience.
Actively maintained with frequent updates to adapt to YouTube changes.
Open-source / FOSS offering a free alternative to closed-source extensions.
Includes handy features like playback speed adjustments (SHIFT+Scroll) and other playback/UI tweaks.
Strong maintainers and good communication with users.

Cons

Desire to restore the old YouTube UI and gain more control over the user interface.
Settings instability: configurations can revert or not apply consistently and some options don’t show up.
Missing mini-player in comments (and related UI placement concerns).

Recent reviews

This is the biggest piece of sh*t ever, It won't allow me to change de speed of the video, it is stuck at playing at 16x and the option keep going back to 16x even when I try to change it.

High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
