A feature that doesn't work and would REALLY love for it to do so.

[Azrahn42]

⚬ PROBLEM: There is a feature within the program "Hide Annotations" button. It isn't effective, at this time every time You Tube refreshes, the button becomes active again. It is this that keeps the white bar pop up ad/recommendation to appear/reappear constantly. Definitely needs to be addressed/fixed. ⚬ SOLUTION:
I have absolutely no idea on a coded solution. My talents revolve around finding items that are in need of tweaking, and ideas to offer for improvements. As far as programs that enhance any given websites features for the user, this by far is my favorite to use. I just discovered this whole feature of Github, and at this point no clue as to what I am doing with it, or if there is a specific "Etiquette" to abide by/follow. Keep up the amazing customizations on the ongoing war against the control freaks of Youtube and it's conglomerate media whore Google :-)

Standard question: Did u try reinstalling extension?

[ImprovedTube]

hi @Azrahn42 thank you,

favorite

because of the amount of features? Anything else, that we do right or wrong or could improve?

this feature is simple. CSS style only

https://github.com/code-charity/youtube/blob/20b3169715b4661ecb075272483c6dd52af3ea6d/js%26css/extension/www.youtube.com/appearance/player/player.css#L159-L163

CSS is declarative, meaning that we just need to say what we want and not how. The attribute it-player-hide-annotations='true' and all our settings luckily can be stored accessible to CSS immediately at page-load and permanently. So we just need to add more names there.

You can find them by right-clicking the elements: "block element" (with ublock origin installed)
(the browser's "inspect element" can be as fast but shows too much at once)

BTW, Did you guys use ublock custom filtering? I wonder why there is still no button to publish/contribute them, thus just posted on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/1as66pv/what_about_crowdsourcing_my_filters_a_vision/

---

• Btw, when curious/going to report more like this: We also have a single(combined) "mutation observer", to notice whatever changes on the page and to run some JS features only when needed (but it doesnt apply here, to this CSS-only features) (https://github.com/code-charity/youtube/blob/master/js%26css/web-accessible/functions.js as needed. there, through combining multiple mutation observers in one, we might save some significant electricity considering the code will run billions of times. But that's already a complex as it gets /the longest sentence to be in our documentation. ( And it is generally efficient enough if every feature works standalone / has it's own observer, since they will only run when enabled. )

not that kind of verbosity @github

I never see any annotations

There is a feature within the program "Hide Annotations" button. It isn't effective, at this time every time You Tube refreshes, the button becomes active again.

can you elaborate, "You Tube refreshes" how?

[Azrahn42]

Anytime you would hit "Reload" or even if the video gets a hiccup and starts again, unless you manually turn off the "Annotation" it stays on. Even doing that by the next video it comes back on again. They had started attaching that white pop up "Suggested viewing" bullshit one line fly by advertising. I don't know the programming of the situation but it is tied to that white "I" circle in italix which is a slide in banner, which began just before the ad wars did, at least that's about when I noticed it.

if its ads related then its not the standard Youtube Annotations. Try uBlock maybe?
