T K (ID: 000000de98753dc9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/10/2023 いつもお世話になってます。 デフォルトでオンオフの機能が欲しいです。 常に使うものでもないので、サイトへのアクセスを「拡張機能をクリックしたとき」にして使っています。 また、拡張機能「Enhancer for YouTube」の「コメントを読むためのミニプレイヤー」と共存できると完成形に近づくと思ってます。

はにまる (ID: 0000008df8c8eec3) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/30/2023 画面の四隅が丸くなった現在のYOUTUBE通常画面では機能しなくなってますね。 ただ「シアターモード」や「全画面」ならば機能しています。 「全画面」は一度全画面にしてから少し下にドラッグするとプレイヤーバーが見えるので、上に戻すなりできます。 全画面から通常画面に戻った場合、やはりバーは消えてしまいます。 角が丸くなった通常画面では機能しないようですね。。。アプデを待ちたいところです。
