Review summary

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).

2026-05-07	Fe*****	THANK YOU Shorts sudenly dont let you pick resolution anymore, witch means they load a 240p, no kidding Luckily this extension fix it for my, i set 1440p as the default resolution and it appears its affecting shorts as well so i get the best quality allways Also little bug. In the shorts player, if you have coments open and mini player activated on the extension, if you scroll down the mini player appears and plays nothing, just a black screen (because im watching shorts, it showld not appear at all) Srry broken english

2026-02-16	2m*****	This extension does the job of many closed-source extensions provide. Gave it 4 stars as I think there is plenty of room to grow and that is the only "con". The extension gives majority of the basic features to get a better youtube experience but some niche features may not be found (yet!). I highly encourage everyone to give it a shot and to provide feedback as the lead maintainer is great at communicating.
