- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17657751, 3 months agoExactly what I needed. Really clearly labels watched vids. Import from ff history and youtube then good to go. So good, i'm going to see if I can throw a donation at the author
- Rated 5 out of 5by Marty, 4 months agoThis extension is great because you never click on a video that you have already seen. One thing that is not true is that it only works with the new YouTube user interface. Since YouTube changed the user interface, I've been using the YouTube Redux extension to get the old user interface back. I just don't like the fact that the comments are now on the right and there are suggestions for other videos below the video. The Watchmaker extension works perfectly with the YouTube Redux extension and everything runs smoothly, and I haven't noticed any problems. The YouTube Redux extension forces the previous user interface.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Dragos, 5 months agoIt marks clearly watched videos. It's easy to export and import watched videos from a browser to another.

- Rated 5 out of 5by chayes, 2 years agoGreat app. Easy and smooth to use.
Suggestion : Would love an option to change the date stamp format to dd / mm / yyyy. The default one is kind of backwards...

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18054158, 2 years agoWorks even on different computers. You only have to log in to your gmail and you see all the marks videos you´ve watched on another computer

- Rated 5 out of 5by dorkymalone, 2 years agoextremely useful and works perfectly. the only thing i miss is an easy way to regulate how much the thumbnails of watched videos get dimmed. otherwise an A+ extension that i hope lives forever.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Nikita, 2 years agoLove the add-on, but I recommend few QOL changes after testing it for a day or two, to avoid annoying new users:
1) By default, only these Conditions should be enabled:
- Mark a video as watched once it appears in the browser's history.
- Mark a video as watched once it has the official Youtube watched badge.
- Mark a video as watched once it appears in Youtube's watch history.
1) By default, only this Visualization should be enabled:
- Mark watched videos by slightly fading the thumbnail out.
- Show a textual badge in addition to graying out watched videos.
=====
I recommend this because I was REALLY annoyed that just opening a video by default marked is at "Watched". I'd rather the video actually watched, is labeled watched, because opening a video to watch it later in a tab marks it as "watched" (maybe add option to delay "Watch" status after a video is opened?).
So that means, with default visualizations options on, suddenly all videos I opened in a tab and didn't watch instantly, show up with grayscale, no YouTube bar, "WATCHED" label on the channel. So now I have no idea which video I actually watched (YouTube bar is a must ON to track this) because every thumbnails is generic looking grayscale. Faded thumbnails work better by default than grayscale (though option to "desaturate" thumbnails a bit would help too)
TBH, I admit, I did not check options initially because there are so many extensions running that the small blue icon didn't even show up on Toolbar for me, it went into overflow. There was no "Options" option when I checked the addon in "Addon & Themes" panel, so I assumed there were no options for this addon, and browsed away oblivious to the fact that there were definitely options.
I hope that is fixed too. Options should be accessible from Addon and Themes section as well when checking extension.
PS: Still a very useful extension. Turning off these extra options made it actually more useful to me than when everything was checked by default. - Rated 5 out of 5by Zer0, 2 years agoIt works, also has Import/export feature which seem like a great idea.
