I was looking for an extension that would show me a notification one any of the channels I’m subscribed for uploads a new video but I couldn’t find any. Then I found that Firefox has “Notifications” setting but youtube isn’t in the list and IDK how to add it. Any suggestions on how to do that?

    Not in-browser push notifications but YouTube does generate RSS feeds for channels so you can follow those feeds to be notified about new videos.

    The main downside is that they are quite unloved:

    • Just a title, no thumbnail or description in the feed.
    • “Premier” videos appear in the feed when they are announced, with no indication that they aren’t available or when they will be available.
