- Rated 4 out of 5by daniel7692, 20 hours agoso on the community posts when there is like images, polls, etc. the boxes are circular and the icons on the youtube player move off the player whenever i click on another video, in a plalist, etc. 5 stars for fix =-D
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14848614, 2 days agoI understand that the latest update requires permission to be able to export the configuration files, but I beg you, make it optional. Until then I will be forced, for safety reasons, to remove the addon. It is a shame because I really loved this extension.
edit:
Thank you for your quick response and understanding. Reverting back to 5 stars. Thanks for making YouTube usable again.Developer response
posted 2 days agoI'm remaking that part to be optional or not required at all. Update soon!
While it's being reworked I've reverted the update so v3.8.4 is the newest available. - Rated 4 out of 5by Paul, 3 days agoLove how it looks, however I downloaded this because I don't like the new floating video player icons, would it be possible to change them? Or at least make it so that the bottom of the icons doesn't get cut off, it does that on my machine.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Mrinal, 3 days agoThe latest update requires permission to "Download files and read and modify the browser’s download history". Why does the stateless functionality offered by this extension suddenly require such a strong intrusive permission? Unless, this extension was bought over by some greedy business that wants to collect and sell your data. Just find another extension at this point.
Edit (post dev's response): It's still potentially unsafe in the event that a future update may obfuscate the code, since Mozilla does not require add-ons to be opensource. Since I do not require the export functionality, there should not be any obligation for me to accept the new permission. Currently, it is not so. Also, there are other extensions like uBlock Origin that allows syncing config (custom filter entries) without requiring any download or browsing history permissions.
I am not questioning your commitment to remain open-source, but with this permission, there is a permanent opportunity for you and your successor (if and when) to malpractice.Developer response
posted 3 days agoThe extension now requires download permissions in order to be able to export user's config file. It is not used for anything else besides that single action and there is no malicious intent behind it (and never will be). YouTube Redux is open source and all code changes can be verified in its GitHub repository.
Edit in response to your edit: Your concerns are absolutely justifiable. While at this moment it's a "trust me bro" situation, extension takeovers do happen and this is indeed a security risk for users. That said without delay I will be making this permission optional as well as allowing the user to save the config manually if that permission is denied. Thanks for the feedback and sorry for the scare! - Rated 4 out of 5by Connie, 3 days ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Nelson Lopez, 8 days agothis makes the UI unironically friendlier than the new UI
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 19162117, 9 days agoLove it. One big problem though, some days ago (forgot when), the shuffle button in the Playlist (When watching from the playlist, next to the loop button) is just gone. Turned the extension on & off to confirm, and yes the extension itself is the problem. Turning settings on & off did not fix the issue

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18167781, 2 months agoWorks perfectly, 3 tile new design is just pure garbage. Youtube Redux easily fixes it
- Rated 2 out of 5by venus, 2 months agoeverything is a great addition to youtube but my main problem is the huge thumbnails that get fixed with the extension but it resets every time i leave the site. would love a fix on that.

- Rated 4 out of 5by ce9999, 3 months agoSeems like a pretty cool extension, I mainly am trying it out because I dislike YouTube's new, gigantic thumbnails on the home page and subscriptions page. YouTube Redux fixes that problem on the home page, but not in the Subscriptions page as far as I can tell. It *does* reduce the size of the thumbnails, which is nice, but only to a medium size, and there are still only 3 columns. Having that feature work on the Subscriptions page would be awesome, so I hope it is added at some point. On the totally positive side, I'm not seeing ANY shorts thumbnails now, which is fantastic!

posted 3 months agoNumber of video thumbnails per row will work on the Subscriptions page with the upcoming update, thanks! - Rated 1 out of 5by OceanCradle, 3 months agoDownloaded this to fix the new YT layout (grid size) and while there is an option for it, it just does nothing.
