### Before Using Detoxify
### After Using Detoxify
## Known Issues
As Detoxify is in the testing phase, you may encounter some bugs:
- ~**Shorts May Reappear**: YouTube Shorts may reappear after being hidden.~ **(FIXED)**
- ~**Toggle Inconsistencies**: Toggling the "Hide Shorts" option may not consistently display Shorts correctly.~ **(FIXED)**
### Troubleshooting
- Please [open an issue](#support) to report the problem.
### Developer Note
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.
## Roadmap
We are planning the following improvements:
- [x] ~**Bug Fixes**: Resolve the issue preventing Shorts from reappearing correctly after toggling.~
- [x] ~**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.
- [x] ~**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).
## Currently Working
- [ ] **Hide Playables**: Introduce an option to hide playable ads (for YouTube Premium users).
- [ ] **YT Shorts**: Currently working on hiding the yt shorts logo from the sidebar
- [ ] **YT Music**: Not a major but working on shortening the name "YouTube Music" to "Music" only when sidebar is closed
- [ ] **Content Filtering**: Can able to select what you want to view on your home feed.
These enhancements aim to provide greater control over your YouTube experience, focusing on a customizable, ad-free, and distraction-free interface.
