A G (ID: 000000b110ffad98) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/17/2023 Initiative nécessaire ! Base d'utilisateur à développer plus de votes sur les vidéos.

Jules Marie (ID: 0000009afbf1e8d9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/05/2023 Extension géniale, je recommande vivement. Permet d'avoir un contenu de meilleur qualité qui m'est proposé, et la découverte de super chaînes / vidéos. Super pratique à l'usage : extension d'utilité publique. J'ai du le réinstaller une fois car le bandeau sur la page d'accueil Youtube avait disparu ... (peut-être parce que je suis passé à YT Premium quelques jours avant ?)

Jojolafriteuse (ID: 000000dac7f5a032) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/21/2023 Concept incroyable et projet d'intérêt public. Il n'y a rien à redire sur le site qui est extrêmement bien fait. Cependant il y a quelques bugs concernant le plugin, le rendant pour moi inutilisable. En effet, (je ne sais pas si cela ne concerne que mon PC) le plugin modifie l'interface de YouTube ce qui est très pratique mais il a tendance à ne pas très bien s'intégrer : les deux boutons jaunes en dessous des vidéos marchent une fois sur deux (surtout le "rate now" qui n'affiche qu'une fenêtre blanche (problème de javascript ?)) et surtout ont tendance à supprimer le bouton "outil" de YouTube (les trois petits points permettant notamment d'enregistrer la vidéo dans une playlist). Parfois un rafraichissement permet de le faire réapparaitre mais le bug est très embêtant et m'empêche personnellement d'utiliser ce fabuleux plugin. Hâte que ce bug soit corrigé car j'aimerais vraiment pouvoir pleinement contribuer à ce merveilleux projet (étant un énorme consommateur de vidéos de vulgarisation sur YouTube)

J E (ID: 000000d2b3f2269e) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 03/27/2023 Bonne idée, malheureusement les recommendations se ressemblent toutes. 50% Ecologie, 30% Anti Macron/gouvernement (clairement de gauche), 20%Covid. Voila ce que je vois constamment. J'en conclue donc qu'il y a trop peu de "contributeurs" et cela crée des recommendations trop biaisées. Je reviendrai dans 1 an pour voir.
