- Rated 1 out of 5by Miguel Garza, 2 years agoThis extension is really excellent. I had to get used to the new interface, but I now think it works better than the old one.
However, there should be a way to get rid of the animation of the heart next to the donation button. Not even donating gets rid of the animation, currently.
I think I would rate this a 4 if that was the only issue.
But the developer also includes a "bad finger" icon and disables the extension if you try to get rid of the heart with CSS.
That merits one star. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18130202, 2 years agoThe perfect extension for managing playlists on Youtube. Now I can finally easily remove all those half watched videos from the Watch Later list.

- Rated 3 out of 5by salzrat, 2 years agoIn principle, this addon is exactly I was looking for. However, deleting videos only works for around 5-6 videos. If I select more than 5 or 6 videos, only around 5 get deleted.
I tried this both in Chrome and Firefox, same behavior. I tried it for the "Liked videos" playlist. Would be great if this could be fixed. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 10206126, 2 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by dare2live, 2 years agoLiterally a LIFESAVER! Works perfectly but occasional issues with actions not being registered or lagging, which i blame entirely on YouTube's clunky back-end. Tremendous THANKYOU for this!! :D
(P.S. Such a seemingly simple thing to implement for a massive company, & yet YouTube forces us to put up with such clunky systems, ARGH!!) - Rated 5 out of 5by Malinov, 2 years ago5/5.
A fantastic add-on. Adds much needed basic functionality such as "multiselect", "move here" and "load entire playlist". Something that YouTube itself has neglected for years despite user feedback.
I can't stress enough how much easier it became to manage my 700+ video playlist on YT's horrendously designed mess. - Rated 3 out of 5by Thomas, 2 years agoIt seemed to be working fine at first, but now I've just lost about 130 videos when reorganizing some of my most important videos into new lists. I have several lists with "Lessons" about stuff I work with. Now I have only a few videos left. This is so incredibly annoying.
Edit: I have edited my review. I still use the plugin and taking it shortcomings into consideration, it's still a useful tool.Developer response
posted 2 years agoI'm sorry for that.
Unfortunately, anything can happen because Google is constantly changing things.
But in version 3.3
🔧 Fixed: Save videos to new playlist
✔️ Option: Find duplicates backwards - Rated 5 out of 5by 2001herne, 2 years agoAbsolutely brilliant. Only gripe I have is the pulsing donate heart, but if you have ublock origin installed you can hide it with a custom filter:

- Rated 5 out of 5by Oleks, 2 years agoThis is in my top 3. WORKS! I assume creator in new version found ways to work around some YouTube limitations. "Select videos by title" filter is my way to create themed playlists from Watch Later. PLEASE, make SELECT BY AUTHOR too. And if possible - By Language.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16536106, 2 years agoI do not understand the bad reviews. The extension does not ask for important permissions and works perfectly fine for me editing my "watch later" youtube playlist. Very useful!

- Rated 3 out of 5by sushi eater, 2 years agobro i love ur extension but the 3.0 version doesnt work for me anymore, i have my browser updated but i dont see the button to activate the extension anywhere on the website and i cannot select any video. I do have the extension enabled on the extension manager and i have restarted the browser several times. idk if im doing something wrong, hope u can fix it when u have the time to do so, thanks for the extension. pd: in my android tablet the extensions works properly so idk if its just a mozilla problem
- Rated 5 out of 5by kane2742, 2 years agoThe new version took some getting used to, but now that I've familiarized myself with the new action bar, options and the keyboard shortcuts, I like it.
Edit to add: If you have any issues with the three-dot menu in the action bar not working, you might have to disable a conflicting extension. That happened to me – I'd apparently installed another extension for managing YouTube playlists at some point, and while it was enabled, clicking the three-dot menu didn't do anything for me, but disabling the other extension seemed to fix the issue. I didn't think to mention this until I saw a different review mentioning the three-dot menu not working. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14719029, 2 years agoI love this extension, but I no longer see the checkboxes to select videos after the update. I will change to 5 once I can use it again.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Tco, 2 years agoThis new version is a step down on multiple fronts.
You have to "turn it on" each page you want to use it on compared to have it on on select pages you pre-set previously.
I'm not a fan of the bar at the bottom.
And I liked having the numbers on the side with large playlists to easier reference them.
I'm hoping for a return to the previous style or the option to choose.
