updated review for PC version 2.0.126.1 in 19 june 2025.

i dont know how to send bug issue to developer since theres no link so ill just do it in the review. other reviewers have problem with not working but for me its working almost perfectly except for 1 thing which is the live chat replay. it cant be seen when the window width is small (i use 2 firefox windows side by side in 1 monitor). the youtube should go to mobile version in browser and the chat should be bottom of the video in full width of the window (before the problem occurred). now it does not appear when in mobile version of browser (it started when this "live chat replay open panel" starts appearing instead of "show chat replay"). only by zooming out or increasing window width will it appear. i disabled the extension then the "show chat replay" will reappear now i can read the chat again.

its a very niche problem but should be fixed, it started back several days to which i solved by zooming out but the text is really small and hard to read.

[Switched due to continued closed source in 2025, but flawless experience otherwise]

Was my main driver for Youtube for at least the last four years and has been flawless in my usage.

Initially I would've given this five stars before, but the software is still closed sourced. Good alternatives now exist with mobile functionality (Android) and extended feature sets while following open source principles.

Thank you for everything, MRFDEV.

Pretty great, but it never remembers playback speed.

Excelente, mas ultimamente tem quebrado no meio da apresentação, sendo desabilitado dentro do vídeo em exibição. Algo das novas atualizações de 2025 do YT

It's the best

There are many useful functions, but I installed this add-on to remove Youtube Shorts from Youtube, and that doesn't work at all. It could be that Youtube has been tweaking their Shorts UI pretty frequently since they were introduced and the Enhancer team just has not caught up yet. I hope they can get that feature working again. Ty.

Just missing a "auto set video to original language" button to circumvent youtube's AI dubbing BS.

Love the volume boost and loop features of this add-on.

I'd really like it if a future update had a rewind / fast forward feature. That'd make it perfect for me.

I love the Enchancer, but it removes all of the YouTube Shorts UI--That is super annoying.

Nice versatile add-on. Here is a bug newly appeared: when other tab is activated, a mini player shows up on that tab to continue playing the YT media, once the YT media tab is closed without pausing it first, then the mini player can never closed anymore unless you restart the Firefox, and the more YT playing media tab you close in this way, the more mini players will remain unclosed in the same manner. Hope this will be fixed soon. Thanks.

Features look good but bug / problem:

Not sure if this addon is causing the problem, but especially in live streams, the whole page goes unresponsive when left open for long.

Will update if problem doesn't persist after disabling.

Usually works great with my Firefox browser, but now comments on YouTube Shorts won't open. Looks like the this needs an update.

the Extension is a must have for everyone using YouTube, one thing to mention the Extension doesn't load properly all the times I'm using a FireFox fork, found people online complaining about the same thing, hope the dev addresses this issue in the NEXT update


Edit: a turn around fix that I use for now is a costume script

first install the Tampermonkey extension

second use this costume script(dont forget to edit the youtube and tampermonkey links):


// ==UserScript==
// @name Force Enhancer for YouTube
// @namespace past tampermonkey link here/
// @version 0.1
// @description Ensure Enhancer for YouTube loads consistently
// @author You
// @match past youtube link here /*
// @grant none
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
'use strict';

// Function to check if Enhancer for YouTube is loaded
function checkEnhancerYouTube() {
// Look for specific elements that Enhancer for YouTube creates
const enhancerLoaded = document.querySelector('#enhancer-for-youtube-controls') ||
document.querySelector('[id^="enhancer-for-youtube"]');

if (!enhancerLoaded) {
console.log('Enhancer for YouTube not detected, forcing reload...');

// Create a temporary element to trigger mutation observers
const trigger = document.createElement('div');
trigger.id = 'enhancer-youtube-trigger';
trigger.style.display = 'none';
document.body.appendChild(trigger);

// Dispatch events that might wake up the extension
window.dispatchEvent(new Event('resize'));
document.dispatchEvent(new Event('readystatechange'));

// Clean up and try again
setTimeout(() => {
trigger.remove();
checkEnhancerYouTube();
}, 2000);
}
}

// Run after YouTube has loaded
if (document.readyState === 'complete') {
setTimeout(checkEnhancerYouTube, 3000);
} else {
window.addEventListener('load', () => {
setTimeout(checkEnhancerYouTube, 3000);
});
}
})();

If you open the comments section while watching a short, the video and the comments section will overlap.
