- Rated 4 out of 5by Nazuna_Invitine, 3 months agoIt's cool and all, but there's no way from what I can tell to disable the "take snapshot" button, it's already getting quite annoying trying to right click and copy video URL to then accidentally click take snapshot due to muscle memory and then having to open file explorer and delete the screenshot of the video that I didn't want. It would be very nice if this extension was updated to allow you to be able to toggle the snapshot button on and off, as I personally do not need it, and it just makes the context menu when right clicking more irritating. If it really needs to be there, at least move the button in the context menu to not be under the loop button so then I won't accidentally click it when trying to copy video URL.

posted 3 months agoApologies, we released this feature before it was fully ready. Options for it and a move to the bottom of the menu will be coming shortly in the next version
Edit: these changes are now available in v1.8.2 - Rated 5 out of 5by Psychotic Casual, 3 months ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Private Citizen, 3 months agoI got it to change the stupid giant video thumbnail sizes, which it does. It's great that it also allows you to hide many of the page elements. The only negative is that YT detects the ad blocking, stops the video, and warns your account. It would be nice to also resize the shorts thumbnails.
Developer response
posted 3 months agoDisabling the following 3 options should prevent YouTube detecting adblocking:
1. Video lists → Hide sponsored videos & promos
2. Video pages → Skip ads
3. Video pages → Hide Merch, Offers etc.
We're looking at alternative ways to implement these, and we recommend uBlock Origin to block ads on YouTube in the meantime - Rated 5 out of 5by disasterofsorts, 3 months agoWorks straight out of the box, thanks so much! Now there just needs to be an option to make the size of the YT Shorts smaller!
EDIT: Thank you Dev for letting me know about the option to hide Playables!Developer response
posted 3 months agoThe Video lists → Hide suggested sections option should hide Playables and other grid-interrupting shelves in Home, as well as the titled sections in Search which are irrelevant to your search results.
If you're seeing Playables somewhere else you don't want them, let us know and we can hide them. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18180932, 3 months ago
