I use the extension because subscriptions is a better home for youtube, but I explicitly want to view YTs sometimes useful often not suggestion page (home), I don't have that option without disabling the extension. In this situation, the "home" link is more than redundant. It could be at least hidden.

But I see that the "home" link is simply youtube.com. There isn't a "youtube.com/home" for the Home link to redirected to.

On December 4th, 2023 I received the below e-mail communication from Google:

Unfortunately my views of an open web do not align with Google's vision and in protest I am refusing to update any of my extensions to support Manifest V3 on the Chrome Web Store. If you are currently using this extension, expect it to become unavailable and/or non-functional in Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers (Vivaldi, Opera, Edge, Brave, etc.) in June 2024.

Personally, I have fully switched to Firefox and never looked back, I suggest you do the same. The extension has a Firefox version which will continue to be maintained for the foreseeable future, you can find it in the README.

Looks like youtube changed something, although it's possible it was firefox, I'm using nightly. I wonder if you're able to get around this new behaviour?

I've been rather enjoying never seeing the home page, so thanks :)

No idea what youtube changed this time around, but the extension no longer redirects to the subscriptions page automatically.

Make it such that the Subs look like the recommendations in regards to layout.
The last space it wastes, the more we can see.

I love this addon, but sometimes I might want to go to the actual homescreen instead of my subscriptions.

How to reproduce

1. Enable the extention and Watch a video in full screen
2. Click the mini player icon in the bottom right corner (or use the shortcut "i")
3. The mini player shows for a second then vanishes. Then redirects to subscription page.

How it should work
Mini player should show and continue to play.

I tried to install the package.zip in Firefox but it complained about a defunct package.zip. It works in Chrome though

Hi, thanks for the extension, and a shame it's required in the first place...

Recently, youtube made a new UI change, and with it, the subscription feed at https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions now defaults to a grid. It seems that the only way to get a tile view is to click the button:

which will navigate to https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions?flow=2. This also means that the add-on always redirects to the grid list. How difficult would it be to add an option to the add-on to choose between defaulting to https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions with or without ?flow=2?

Due to the new method of simulating navigation introduced as a fix for #11 the history entry for the home page stays in place, thus preventing back button navigation as visiting the homepage re-redirects to the subscriptions page.

Need to find a way to skip the history entry entirely or remove it after the fact

If you open a video from your subs page or a playlist or similar, you can click the miniplayer icon, and the video page shrinks and the previous page is shown; the subs page or playlist or whatever....

But if you click a link to youtube, then click the miniplayer icon, there's no 'previous' page, so it uses the youtube home page as the background for the miniplayer. At this point, the plugin takes over, redirects to the subs page, and the video in the miniplayer closes.

Not sure if this is avoidable in practical terms, but reporting nonetheless. Thanks for an awesome addon mate.

This plugin is a godsend! It helps me with all the clickbait on youtube, which was making go crazy Thanks a lot.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work on Firefox for Android (yet, i hope), mayb it has something to do with the URL? (m.youtube.com).

If you could fix that, we could also safely browse youtube on Android mobiles :)

Thx!
