Improved Tube (ID: 000000b08cb5073b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/30/2023 Hi there! Shouldn't we team already? https://github.com/code-charity/youtube Many smiles! -- PS: marked some dozens of the most silly 1-star reviews as spam.

Daniel B. (ID: 0000002a3fc1a143) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/02/2023 Have been using this for years, there are unfortunate moments when it doesn't work after big youtube changes, but the developer fixes it quickly. When / If youtube stops working after they stop tolerating adblock I either hope that this will still work and or I will just stop using youtube. This tool was worth the money.

just kidding (ID: 0000005ff7e4ab2c) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/27/2020 Most of the negative reviews here focus on the paid aspect, but that isn't what's really wrong with this - While I (personally) felt they were up-front about being a paid service, the extension itself is ABSOLUTELY NOT worth paying ANYTHING for. It would barely even be worth getting even if it were free. Most of the functions are redundant - YouTube ITSELF already provides most of what this extension charges you for. The features not covered by YouTube - namely, blocking ads - are either done much better by other extensions for free, or are so minor and simple - like mouse wheel/keyboard shortcuts or blocking parts of the page - you could probably make an extension for it yourself. Don't waste your time.

Martha Koenig (ID: 00000064d04232ed) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/25/2019 This is the BEST YouTube extension to give you control over what the interface displays. I love being able to watch ad-free/pop-up free videos, auto-change the size, quality and UI and a zillion other things. Thank you for creating it—I wouldn't be able to live on-screen without it, and only $2/month, which is nothing these days. Worth. Every. Measly. Penny.

Anthony Arroyo (ID: 000000ef6ab11885) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/30/2019 This is the best $2 I spend every month. Anybody complaining about the price clearly didn't read the description of the extension. Trust me, this is worth at least $2 a month. This extension makes youtube a joy to use! I forget that youtube even has ads until I use it on somebody else's computer! I have been using this extension for several years now, and in that time I have found several bugs. Using the developer feedback they fix the issue the same day in most cases and when they can't get it in one day they work with you to ensure the bug is fixed. I am blown away by the responsiveness of the developers. This extension makes youtube work like it really should!
