Cynthia Suri (ID: 0000004bc9f29c29) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/25/2023 Thank you so much for this useful extension! Youtube made the volume slider disappear, the only option remained is the Mute button. I just don't understand why these developers keep ruin everything from interfaces to functions. They call it upgrade but in the reality it is downgrade because they take every good and useful thing and replace them with something useless or just take them away, telling us that we have to get used to the new things because they are better... and trying to convince us that we like the older layouts and functions just because we are nostalgic and if we will get familiar with those donwgrades, we will love them eventually. And the bigest problem is that we don't even have the option to choose what we want. Because eventually they remove those options. We are not allowed to have our own taste anymore, Beautiful older colorful websites, interesting games and apps are just history. Everything is grey, ugly disgusting with modified/ removed great functions. Thanks again for this!
