Not working
Doesnt work 🤷
Heard great things and was excited to check it out. Installed it, turned on "Summary" and went to a video. Clicked on the new summary link and was prompted to sign up. Did so. Was sent a confirmation email. Entered the code. Got a "Something went wrong. Try again." message. Clicked "Try again" multiple times and it just reloaded the same message (did not even get a "send again" option). Deleted extension. Complete waste of time and now they have my email address.
Bro it is not opening and showing options
Just doesnt work 03/04/24.
making this review just to say these other reviews are obviously fake. 61 reviews and all 5 stars? 😂
it doesnt work anymore, latest brave linux
stopped working all of a sudden, reinstalling doesn't fix. I'm on Dia browser on macos 26
a really good extension for youtube and it does what it says! unfortunately, i cannot recommend it as for other pages (might just be other google products?) it will sometimes make it so the page dosnt fully load, and as someone who uses google docs ALOT, this is bad. This problem isnt even one that is that hard to fix! just give the extension like 5 lines of code to check if the user is on youtube, and then if they arnt, disable the extension if this problem gets resolved, my review will be a 4 or 5, but until then, i cannot recommend
It's good but it slows youtube down to a crawl, even if I turn the ad blocking off.
Bro, it loads too slowly and it lags sometimes. I'll come back when its stable enough, sorry.
Dang... that other reviewer wasn't kidding. Every single YT page took quite a while to load. Stuff were visibly loading in chunks! Can't use it in such a state.
The extension does very well in everything it promises but will SIGNIFICANTLY slow down your Youtube loading speed on every single page.
The extension is a saver, but the thing with a progress bar for each chapter in video, which you can't turn off, is annoying
Was working rather well but recently a lot of features stopped working such as content filtering (useful for blocking annoying channels), and hiding shorts.
really good but there is a glitch on the video player on the website on mac where the recommendations cover the actual video.
It's missing the main thing: block infinite scrolling on YT main page.
Dude, PLEASE update the "Hide the Graph of the Most Viewed Scenes" toggle, how I HATE being spoiled by that stupid feature!
stopped working idk why, seems like lots of other ppl have same issue
It was going well but after a few days the settings was not working and I can not block youtbe shorts. Any way I can get in touch with the help team.
why this isnt hiding shorts anymore?
Mine stopped working today... It was wonderful extension.
Please give an option to hide "Members Only" videos from recommendations and search results.
It's good, I do ont use most of the features since I just wanted to block channels, it doesn't block in some parts of the website so make sure to turn off suggestions categories as well, if you want a way to block channels and make youtube a good experience it is very useful, if wasn't extensions like that I would stopped using it a few years ago, at least I can watch it on desktop without their horrible recommendations.
it was really good, but for some reason it stopped working for me
Every Youtube page loads in 10 seconds instead of 4. Unfortunately this overshadows every benefit.
Largely broken with the new youtube player/page. Share/thank buttons won't hide for example. Extension on makes being able to close live chat inconsistent, sometimes I can close it manually other times I can't at all. Please fix.
good one but sadly known bugs aren't being fixed for months
An update is necessary because the video doesn't fit the screen when viewing in full mode while centering content. hope we get the solution as soon as possible
great. There's a problem with hiding shorts videos in subscription page. We want another extension like this for linkedin. specialize in linkedin. Not as social focus extension.
FYI it no longer works when blocking shorts. Please update.
No longer blocking Shorts on home/subscription pages. Also, I wish there was a way to mark all videos as 'watched' to have a clean page without anything on it.
