Broken yet again.

Worked flawlessly for years, didn't for months, was fixed for a few more and now it's dead as a dodo again.

It's a shame because it helps with so many basic QoL (like scrolling audio instead of scrolling away from the video) but it clearly isn't reliable for the foreseeable future.

As others have mentioned this is the best addon in this genre but it does not reliably work it seems.

It always works for me in a private window but I have around a 30% success rate when signed in. If I simply clear site data for youtube and remain signed out it works, the second I sign in (and the page reloads) it fails again.

To be clear this isn't "some functionality" is bugged. Its that it seems to be either entirely off or entirely on and I do not know why but it is somehow related to cached site data to a degree.

The idea of the extension is great, and there are many great options to customize the player. That said, as I experience it, often the extension is often not activated.

for some reason this add on ramdomly pauses the videos, probably youtube sabotaging ad blockers but sab them back... otherwise its great.

(no i dont use any other youtube related addons, disabling this removes random pause issue)

It was working perfectly until last month. Now every video just pauses and buffers for eternity at some point. When I deactivated the add-on it stopped happening.
It's not a connection thing since I don't have any other problems with my internet otherwise and it's not an adblocker since I deactivated it some time ago and it was still happening. I also cleared the browser completely.

layout is not great, i cant get to comment section because it keep loading new videos recommendations

Worked fine for several months, but now its weirdly pausing my videos on random times.
Starting a video, it pauses it after 5-10 seconds without me asking for it.
After unpausing, it again pauses after 5-10s.
Made sure its this addon by disabling everything but this one, and it still happened. Disabling only this one, and have everything else enabled fixes the problem.

i've been using this add-on for a long time and i greatly enjoyed it, but recently i've been having issues when it comes to loading videos. i'd often have to reload the tab several times in order to get a video to play, especially if it started buffering. disabling enhancer for youtube got it to work properly. if this was fixed, id gladly change my review and re-enable it

only works when a video is loaded from an already loaded youtube page. for example, if i open a video in a new tab, load a video from a google result, or reload the page, it just doesn't work. the only work around is to click the youtube homepage button and then click the browser back button to reload the video, which lets it work again.

This WAS an awesome add-on, but not anymore. It ends up making your videos not load, or STOP video, while audio continues. If you're having SERIOUS ISSUES watching YouTube and you have this installed, REMOVE IT!!!

I have to disable and re-enable this extension every. single. time. I run firefox because it doesn't work from the get go.

"open in a new tab"- automatic screen expansion does not work when I'm log in. When I'm log out then i it's no problem.

Roughly 25% of the time the extension fails to load. Meaning if you aren't paying careful attention as the page is loading you could get BLASTED with loud audio that you would assume you could attenuate with the mouse wheel... until you try it only to realize that the extension didn't load and so you proceed to get blasted with loud audio until you turn down the volume some other way.
There will be times you would be watching something in 240/360/480p and sometimes you assume that it's just the best quality available until you finally realize that the extension didn't load and Youtube just decided to play it for you in the aforementioned terrible resolution.
Lastly I do NOT care about "What's new in Enhancer for YouTube" at all. And the fact that there is no way at all to disable the whats new thing from popping up is pretty frustrating.

Everythings looks perfect, but the functionality that I most use is not working. Boost Volume not works, I had to run youtube videos in Chromium browsers for the feature work

For last few months started to notice that YouTube really sluggish, pages load slowly and every keyboard tap takes long time to register. It was driving me nuts and I blamed FireFox for becoming so slow. To my surprise the Enhancer was actually the root cause! 2 stars because resolution switcher and mouse volume control are very nifty. But this slowdown is unbearable to the point I had to disable this extension. I hope the author will take care of the performance issues.

This is my go to extension for keeping my youtube videos at 2x speed. Though I have noticed with youtube's API changes that the extension doesn't always work. Either a new window or reload of my browser is needed to get it to work.

Edit 2024/7/14: The extension works really well still but doesn't always seem to run when loading up youtube. Sometimes I need to reload the browser to get the extension features to work

2024/9/26: The issues listed above have gotten worse where the extension doesn't appear to be active as I will have no preset settings working. Unable to narrow down the cause as some tabs it works others it doesn't. A new browser session doesn't seem to effect it

2024/11/16: I no longer get any features of this extension working.

The adblocking in YT works fine in previous versions (better than uBlock IMO). Look at the version history and download an older version if you prefer a full featured version that hasn't been neutered.

What do you mean that "Ads Management" became useless? I had no ads at all, it was working perfectly. I now simply downgraded from the latest version (disabled automatic updates of course) and the ads are gone again.

Broken. Used to be good, but now you can't scroll down on youtube pages with this addon installed.

not working properly, most of the time the buttons e.g. sound booster doesnt show up
