Is this extension now working or still hanging whole YT?

Finally, an extension to block those pesky and pointless shorts and member only content that actually works. Thank you creators, you truly made YouTube usable again. Love all of the customization as well.

Finally something that just works and have what I want!

Working good so far, has all the features I want. Thanks!

The performance is very bad and the developer doesn't seem to be willing to fix it. Furthermore some features are missing and the ones that do exist don't work reliable, probably because of the very bad performance.

This extension doesn’t perform as advertised! I’m not sure what people like about it or why it receives high reviews, but it fails to fulfill the primary purpose for which I downloaded it. I wanted it to remove “Shorts” from my search results and home page. While it does partially remove them from my home page, it does nothing to improve my search results. Regardless of which toggles I activate, every search is completely filled with “Shorts,” rendering this extension useless for my needs.

As of today Youtube changed the right side sidebar design. Now it has huge thumbnails. 3x less information density.

Unfortunately the only thing i can do within the addon is simply to hide the sidebar as none of the other settings like displaying only the titles etc no longer work. Likely due to code changes by YouTube.

Hope you get it working again in the coming weeks so i can go back to 10 suggested videos, instead of 3.

Loop not working on mobile view (m.youtube.com/.....)

It simply doesn't work for the mobile YouTube site, only the desktop site which is unfortunate

In general, a nice add-on.
But: It's not actually "light weight", it slows the browser down and sometime prevents videos from playing. Besides that it will kind of switch off Adblock Plus and uBlock Origin if "allow ads" is turned on.
I was only looking for an add-on that presets video quality and playback speed, this is kind of an overkill for that purpose.

basically has many many features. worth it

Hi. There's a problem when opening YouTube videos that have chat. When I enable the "Appearance, Sidebar, Live chat, Hidden" option in Improve YouTube, instead of hiding the chat, half the video remains with a black box. Previously, when I enabled this option, the chat disappeared completely, and the video didn't have half the screen with a black box.
Could you please resolve this issue?
Regards.

I use this add-on primarily for removing shorts from Youtube. It works perfectly and saves me from brainrot. Soon after Youtube added the AI descriptions, an absolute disgrace of a feature, this add-on added the option to remove them too. Amazing work!

I just want a button to reverse a playlist. It's great when it works, but most of the time it just does not show up even though it's absolutely checked in the settings (other stuff works fine, I can change the themes easily, but the entire playlist section just does nothing)

With this extension you still can't like or dislike a song on youtube music website with any other window in focus. It's 2025. Youtube music website is 10 years old and you still have to alt tab and manually point and click like/dislike button. Unbelievable.
