January 2024 - Update released

Jan 24, 2024

Hi, version 7 was just pushed to release channel. Chrome update is live, Firefox and Edge are still being reviewed by Mozilla and Microsoft respectively. Hopefully the status is updated soon. Here's what changed.

New Goodies:

  • Say no to live streams: You know those times you just want to browse pre-recorded videos? Got you covered! Now, you can easily filter out live streams so they don't clutter your search results or recommendations. Focus on what you love, the way you love it.

  • Find your perfect video faster: Tired of scrolling past the good stuff? Introducing Result Spotlight! This nifty visual highlight shines a light on the video you're probably looking for, saving you precious browsing time.

  • Lightning in a browser: I've been working hard under the hood to optimize the extension's code. The result? You can now enjoy YouTube at warp speed, whether you're actively browsing or letting it run in the background. Your computer will thank you too, staying cool and calm as a cucumber.

  • Resource-friendly friend: Let's face it, some extensions are resource hogs. Not this one anymore! I've made significant changes to reduce the extension's memory and CPU usage, keeping your system running smoothly.

Fixes and Upgrades:

  • Take control of your view: You asked, I listened! Now, you can toggle the Shorts Panel and Auto-Generated YouTube Mixes on and off individually. Customize your experience and watch what you want, how you want.

  • Live stream boost: No more sluggishness during live events! I've fixed the issue that was slowing down the extension on live streams, so you can enjoy seamless viewing even when the action is hot.

  • Privacy first, always: Your privacy is my top priority. I've removed unnecessary permissions from the manifest.json file, so you can rest assured that your data is safe.

  • Shorter shorts (seriously, though): No more waiting around for those short clips to redirect! I've sped up the process, getting you to your desired content in a flash.

  • Settings with a facelift: The settings page got a complete makeover! It's now easier than ever to find what you need and personalize your viewing experience to perfection.

  • Bug squashing bonanza: I've been on a bug-slaying spree, eliminating all those pesky little glitches that can disrupt your YouTube flow. Now, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy a smooth, buttery-smooth experience.

Thanks for being a part of this awesome community! I hope you love the latest update as much as I do. Let me know what you think – I'm always happy to hear your feedback.
