On firefox youtube videos take a long time to load, they'll play for a bit and then buffer. Without this extension youtube works fine on chrome. I guess this extension is in beta stage, needs to be polished more.

Considering it's from the same person behind sponsorblock, I'm positive future updates will fix this issue..

Edit: Seems I was using old version, just updated the extension as developer said they'd fixed the above issue in new version. So far so good, now videos are playing fine on firefox..

Good thing I can already use uBlock to remove the jumpscare that is "verified badges."

But this will make me stop clicking on 6 different videos before I find one I like... Where's the fun in that?

clickbait no more

Maybe a feature request, but is there an addon that just blocks videos with shitty thumbnails or all caps? Might make the front page almost presentable.

If this extension could just hide those videos as an option, or at least flag them it might make browsing better.
