Victor Noel (ID: 000000dcdfdc222a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/05/2024 Una herramienta excelente, pero necesita una actualización urgente. Hasta hace poco funcionaba sin problemas, pero al parecer YouTube se dio cuenta de la existencia de esta extensión. Ojalá la arreglen, porque si lo hacen esta vuelve a ser una 5/5 (5 Nov 2024) Otra vez la extensión dejó de funcionar. YouTube de verdad no deja de hacer cambios en su plataforma (5 Nov 2024 edit) Ok, ya funciona otra vez. ¡Muchas gracias, desarrolladores!

Brandon Wade (ID: 0000003551b605ec) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/03/2023 This is great. One small problem: Thumbnails for TV-PG videos only have the dislikes visible. Just a big red bar (that isn't the video's progress bar).
