As Detoxify is in the testing phase, you may encounter some bugs:
- Shorts May Reappear: YouTube Shorts may reappear after being hidden.
- Toggle Inconsistencies: Toggling the "Hide Shorts" option may not consistently display Shorts correctly.
- If Shorts reappear, try toggling the "Hide Shorts" option on and off several times to refresh the visibility settings.
- If the issue persists, please open an issue to report the problem.
Due to differences in extension APIs and event-handling mechanisms between Firefox and Chromium browsers, some features may require specific adjustments to ensure consistent functionality across both platforms. I am actively working on improving compatibility for a smoother experience.
We are planning the following improvements:
- Bug Fixes: Resolve the issue preventing Shorts from reappearing correctly after toggling.
- Extended Functionality: Extend Shorts-hiding functionality to YouTube search results and other areas.
- Filter Options: Add options to filter feed videos based on selected tags.
- UI/UX Enhancements: Improve the user interface for a more intuitive experience.
- Hide Playables: Introduce an option to hide playable ads (for YouTube Premium users).
These enhancements aim to provide greater control over your YouTube experience, focusing on a customizable, ad-free, and distraction-free interface.
