-Generally speaking, no it's not. GoodTube heavily modifies how Youtube normally works in order to block ads. A key part of this is replacing the default Youtube player with their "embedded" player. This means that unless your extension also works for embedded Youtube videos (like where you view a Youtube video on another website), it generlly won't be compatible.

If you're having a different issue, most of the time you will find it's caused by a conflicting extension you have installed. The first thing to do is turn off all other extensions you have installed. Leave only Tampermonkey and GoodTube enabled. Then refresh Youtube, check if the problem is fixed. If it is, then you know one of them is causing the issue. Turn your other extensions back on back on one at a time until you find the problem. diff --git a/goodtube.js b/goodtube.js index 33b39cc..ca83555 100644 --- a/goodtube.js +++ b/goodtube.js @@ -1770,6 +1770,9 @@ I can't use the miniplayer
