by kloassie, 3 years agoyeah it works, but why does it hide certain videos from the all subscription feed?? How many videos did I miss bc of this strange behaviour?? only hide when I click a certain group. Then you can show all (new) vids from the channels in the group and hide the rest. But when I go to youtube / feed / subscriptions and don't click any group or whatever then I wanna see ALL new videos, don't hide a.n.y.t.h.i.n.g.!!!

Also, and these are less important issues that I previously posted, why is the 'adding channels to a group'-process restricted to a small paged popup window? Do you really think I started watching youtube just yesterday? that I started subscribing to channels just a moment ago? I've been watching youtube vids since YT's first creation and am subscribed to hundreds of channels. You want me to sort through that in a miniscule frame? gimme a browserwindow-large sorting window with infinite scroll at least so I can have a good overview. It's bad enough already that I can only see each channel's icon+name/handle (which most times isn't very informative about the channel's content), but at least give me a c.l.e.a.r . w.i.d.e . o.p.e.n overview to ease my sorting
And another suggestion, in this 'select channels to add to group' window, label each channel with tags to which groups they're added to already. eg when I add a channel to the group 'tutorial' and am then later in the selection window for adding channels to 'art' then show a 'tutorial' tag behind the channels that I added to the tutorial group earlier. That way I can have a bit more info on the channel than only it's icon+name already! Plus then I have a direct view on which channels are yet not grouped in any of my groups

posted 3 years agoThank you for sharing, however, you should use the special fullscreen dashboard to manage groups, watch the part of the tutorial: https://youtu.be/r4iX53Qg2sE?si=ZZtRtyJjfV8voZdw&t=46 I'm not going to make more complicated channel or video page with the large popup there, because it makes UI more complicated for more users. If you want to show the channel without a group you should use the filter there https://youtu.be/r4iX53Qg2sE?si=5gNnLPrY0-lfWFut&t=136
PocketTube already has an auto tags feature, it's available for our patrons. Watch the part of the video https://youtu.be/Gu9Tqtlug5U?si=4OfhifndE773Er94&t=65

posted 2 months agoDas Video wird nicht in den Lesezeichen gespeichert, da ist etwas schiefgelaufen. Bitte lesen Sie die Beschreibung der Erweiterung. - Rated 5 out of 5by DustJoIt, 2 months agoSaved me a lot of time. I have 500+ subscriptions and have a problem with navigating them and unsubscribing from useless channels, thank you very much
- Rated 1 out of 5by NIghtClawZ, 2 months agoWhen it works great, but for some reasons the addon keeps disconnecting from my Google Drive backup very often, sometimes more than one during a single day.
Edit 2026.07.07 : It seems when other addons (Stylus and uBlock Origin) triggers a synchronisation with Google Drive, the PocketTube addon lost its connection to it. It only happens with PocketTube, which at first I thought the issue came from the fact that I had two YT accounts (main + brand), but after deleting the second one no improvement at all.
Edit 2026.07.09 : I reset the Google access by revoking it and creating it anew, still no improvement. It worked before with my "pool" of addons and I cannot remove them just to keep this one. Plus sometimes right after enabling (for the Nth time) Google Drive, the data did not synchronised at all.
Edit 2026.07.17 : Uninstalling the addon and reinstalling it also doesn't work. I am done.Developer response
posted 2 months agoIt's not reproducible. Try to disable other addons, most likely, you have a conflict with something. Also, you can use our automatic backup, which is cross-browser and has no dependencies on external systems. - Rated 5 out of 5by shu, 2 months agoFirefoxで唯一(?)のYouTubeチャンネルのグループ分けアドオン。

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18907429, 3 months agoVery helpful tool, thanks a lot! I'm using another add-on in Firefox called "Unhook" (latest version 1.6.9) to mask, among othter things, the subscriptions from the left panel. But that somehow renders the Deck unaccessible: the button shows but, when clicked on, I always end up on the Youtube home page.
The Deck is almost all I use and masking the subscriptions would be a great improvement to reduce the distraction, so please save me!Developer response
posted 3 months agoIt's working with the default Unhook options, maybe you enabled something specific there. Try to reinstall Unhook and enable options one by one on Unhook side. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13820476, 3 months agoWhen video crossposting was first introduced, those videos would ignore filter settings in the Subscriptions tab and always appear in the list. But after the recent update(s), it became the opposite: crossposted videos will never appear in the Subscriptions tab, even if all the posters are subscribed and not filtered out by the current settings.

posted 3 months agoThank you for reporting! We can filter collaboration videos based on the group filters, however, as I see the feature is not working properly in Firefox, I've prepared a fix in the upcoming version of Firefox 18.5.9 and will be available after review next week.
UPD: the new version 18.5.9 is available, and the issue has been resolved. - Rated 5 out of 5by Chr15, 4 months ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Devvie, 4 months agoThis garbage hides videos if it's a collab between two channels... For the life of me couldn't figure it out why am I missing out on videos and only find them in recommendations. Also, it's slow, lot of upsells, UI is a mess and not intuitive at all, unless you found it at least once and overall a disgusting experience to use, but alas I couldn't find anything to replace it yet

posted 4 months agoSorry to hear it, however, you enabled the filter by group option, so videos that don’t match the selected group will naturally be hidden. This is expected behavior and not an issue with the extension itself.
If our approach or UI does not fit your preferences, you are free to remove the extension. We’d also appreciate it if you could keep the review respectful and avoid terms like garbage.
We have thousands of active users, and the extension has been successfully trusted and maintained on the market for more than 9 years.
