Pros
- Offers extensive customization options for YouTube, allowing users to tailor their viewing experience.
- Includes useful features such as forcing specific video resolutions, resizing videos to fill the screen without fullscreen, and built-in ad blocking.
- Developers are responsive and quick to address issues, enhancing user satisfaction.
- Combines functionalities of multiple extensions, reducing the need for multiple add-ons.
- Improves workflow for content creators and video enthusiasts with robust editing and sharing tools.
Cons
- Recent updates have introduced bugs causing YouTube to lag, refresh repeatedly, or malfunction (e.g., forced loop/repeat feature stuck enabled).
- Certain features have stopped working or are broken, such as reverse playlist, sidebar comments, theme switching, and speed control.
- Video quality sometimes defaults to a low resolution (480p) when the extension is enabled, affecting video playback quality.
- UI/UX issues including lack of scrollbars in sidebars, overlapping recommended videos, and problems with fitting videos on ultrawide monitors.
- Extension is currently in beta, so some features are incomplete or need improvement (e.g., subtitle handling, scrollbar for comments).

So many things to choose from! I just wish there was a setting to add captions to picture in picture videos. But otherwise, this is really good!!

As of this month, some YouTube videos have 480p as the max quality while this extension is enabled. I disabled it and the problem disappeared. I'll rate it 5 stars once it's fixed.

Extension safety
Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk
impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of
damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your
personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they
do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
'Improve YouTube!' TEST (for YouTube & Videos) requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always
exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.
