January 20th update:
We’re happy to share that the issue causing the TubeBuddy menu to be missing in Chrome has now been resolved. We know this disruption affected many of you, and we truly appreciate your patience while we worked closely with Chrome to get this fixed.
If the update hasn’t applied automatically, you can manually update the extension by going to chrome://extensions, enabling Developer Mode, selecting Details on the TubeBuddy extension, and clicking Update at the top of the page. Once updated, the extension should show version 2002.
January 16th update:
Our Engineering Team has completed the fix for this issue, and the update has been submitted to Chrome. We understand how frustrating this has been, and we truly appreciate your patience while we wait for Chrome’s review and approval before the updated extension is released. Although this final step is outside of our control, we’re monitoring the process closely and are eager to get the fix into your hands as soon as possible.
In the meantime, some users may notice different behavior when using alternative browsers such as Microsoft Edge or Brave. These can be used as temporary workarounds, though results may vary. We’ll update this article immediately once the Chrome extension update is approved and live.
We’ve identified an issue where, in certain versions of Chrome, the TubeBuddy extension has disappeared. Our Engineering Team is actively working on a fix, but please note that once the fix is complete, it can take a few days for Chrome to review and publish the updated extension.
In the meantime, the TubeBuddy extension continues to work as expected in alternative browsers such as Microsoft Edge and Brave, which you can use as a temporary workaround. We’ll share an update as soon as the fix is available in Chrome. Thanks so much for your patience!
