What's new in Improve YouTube for Chrome 4.580
Jan 1, 2024
- To be a top 1000 Github repo, you'd need ~22222 stars. (- This need not reach that far.) Just our Github activity doesn't match our amount of users & with a little help by 0.0x% of the users, we could develope X times faster. So i feel guilty never having tried and it seems time to try something at all. ( So to start something. the extensions's menu home page shows the recent ~30 Feature requests. )
- (Also always wondered why the others, who are busy with YouTube's JS (few people in the world) , don't team? - #1881 )
- fixes: like/dislike shortcuts; day of the week; search bar focused on home page; blocking videos & channels by @Huhni
- @WongChoice added subtitles in screenshot name, optionally rendered in screenshots too!
- @DMCS20 updated/improved our Spanish. @Atesfahun tried to optimize / troubleshoot and @AbhinavGoel9 too.
- and people ask to be assigned to issues increasingly(!) So i regeret missing some of them for long (please feel free to assign soembody by default each time you watch an issue @code-charity/contributors (or least you can vote for the priority)
New in Improve YouTube for Chrome 4.338 (Oct 1, 2023)
- new CSS: Related videos options: focus titles hide tabs only +hidden is no longer hiding anything else. (There's hide sidebar if you really will). Hide 'Shorts remixing this video'. Fix: blacklisted videos hardly take space. + Fixes for: Thumbnails to the right! , transcript on the left! , transcript: compact spacing, etc. Channel default page: Any tab (about, channels, shorts, community)
- attempted to fix ad-skipping. Needs testing - as i'm blind to most ads (unable to see even without blocking them) #1765
