Translation

  • Google/spreadsheets/Multi-Translator
    • We can make a version loading all (our 400+) keys for one language at a time (import & export. Instead of all languages at once as demonstrated above. Chatgpt can help).
      • So this will be most&increasingly efficient for translators. Also: #1934. #1543
  • Updated & completed Portugese translations thanks to @unnamed-orbert, who kept caring for several days!! And added all the missing/new things to our languages files and added the crowdin translator interface and added to Spanish, and so on
  • Swahili (complete!) thanks to @onyangojerry
  • If a translation isn't complete, we now consider all locales set in the browser in order.

New Features/Options:

  • Disabling video previews (on hover) thanks to @ugackMiner53 (#1785)

  • Allowing ads for small channels below 130000 subscribers or any amount thanks to @josephShokry - Also:

  • Button to sync settings (if the browser-user is logged in elsewhere)

  • Fix for our theme's color of description&links thanks to @poorChameleon

  • "Always repeat" can be enabled without showing the button

  • Fix(sync) for the visual state of our two Repeat(loop)-Buttons thanks to @kjonathan024 (#1504)

  • Comments in a sidebar without an extra sidebar (even on wide enough screens) thanks to @a1exanderklein (#1960)

  • Improvements for permanent speed
  • Tidied our UI skeleton
  • ...

TYVM! @code-charity/contributors Catching up with what's been missing for long can be more relevant, just possibly less shiny than totally new stuff.

Fixes for www.youtube.com in windows below 1024px:

  • Chat, thanks to @BogdanskiJ (#1905)
  • Shorts comments
  • Anything else? :D

v4.580

...To be a top 1000 Github repo, you'd need ~22222 stars. (We need not achieve that). Yet 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 this harder. So to start something, the extension's menu home page shows the recent ~30 Feature requests.

  • 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 somebody 'by default' each time that you watch an issue @code-charity/contributors (or least you can vote for the priority)

Thanks!

Thanks: @MAZ01001 stayed amazing with complete/longsighted work! - @PG-257811 @asifurrahaman754 contributed repeatedly, even when i asked😮. Most enduring contributor these month: @D-Rekk. Thanks for bug reporting too! @eyevou @Anoaxx. New contributors: @yashi-15 @JustEmo.

  • some new litte features, several bugs
  • a lot of optimization. (Our status.js is only for the UI for now, circumvented loading it for the rest @raszpl)
  • the Popup player is nicer now (with playlist, no title bar, ...)
  • Speed-watching: music exception finally works when clicking related videos (might be unlikely to be in a hurry but click random things).
    • yet technically this was complicated: to define Music relying on the meta tags (next to the category, title, description) as YouTube seems to only include meta tags in new tab/windows.
      • Thus ImprovedTube can query a random Invidious node (/ ArchiveTeamData) now (1kb vs 800kb. Only needed for related videos But now we can add smart /data features more easily. - Ideas / wishes?)
        • And Probably we should also already work with https://github.com/LuanRT/YouTube.js? (and help them. if Sisyphos had twins, would they team or all do the same thing alone in different countries?)
    • chromewebstore/youtube-tags also fetches the 800kb (every time?) - So we can easily make this feature most efficently now (and/or hopefully the developer has a look)

  • Pop-out Player considers & shows Playlists thanks to @MAZ01001
  • Speed-watching music detection is finally mature / few enough false-positives thanks to @eyevou finding several examples.
  • a player button to toggle 100% player-height thanks to @D-Rekk
  • a button to Copy transcripts (not published just yet)
  • Search results lists in a new tab both thanks to @asifurrahaman754

As always, several bugs fixed, most notorious one: Playlist reverse (#1544) thanks to @chasevis

v4.338

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) #1762

  • & @Lauviah0622 came to care about improving ImprovedTube in all 57 language files
    And let's us remove shorts from the search results & home page

  • & @Huhni fixed the "play-all"-button and blocking / blacklisting Channels, despite it was a riddle. (If we are lucky, this amount of effort & time also increases probability of repeating) CleanShot 2023-09-11 at 18 11 06@2x

  • & @KiloBravoBFE translated to Swedish

  • & @mlcivilengineer fixed a bug with speed-watching vs. music & @eyevou sounds determined to find any more

  • & @TienTim uploaded to the AppStore once again. We ${\color{red}must}$ run an Apple VPS & automate the process for every extension, can't we?

  • & @fharper notified today, that YouTube is experimenting with video details on the side🧐 (utilizing the right year old issue #1398 - just like he should and you should too!)
