Review by Dawn Boi
Rated 2 out of 5
by Dawn Boi, 4 years agoThis extension added some new issues more than fix the ones I wanted to fix. The only reason I wanted this plugin was to have videos play from the beginning since I like to listen to music. There are two issues currently. One: Whenever I click the home screen or search another video, the video still plays in the background. That's annoying. Two: Sometimes whenever I click on the extension icon the video starts from the beginning with every click. The only option I changed was turning on forced play video from beginning (only thing I was interested in)

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 20007710, 3 months agoGenerally amazing and great features. But I have 2 features I'd like to ask for. 1 being a separate grid size options for shorts and for the side bar on video player. While I'm not doom scrolling shorts, I'm sub'd to a few channels that put out great quality shorts that'd I'd like to view. Shorts are just really large compared to normal thumbnails. It's a balancing issue choosing between smaller thumbnails vs huge shorts. 2, Sidebar thumbnails feel huge after installing this extension. If you could include an option to reduce thumbnail size and increase video title space, that'd be great. But 2 is honestly just personal preference. I'm using Zen Browser if that makes any difference.

- Rated 1 out of 5by tokumei, 3 months agoWhile watching videos on YouTube, playback occasionally stops on its own. I am aware that the website has a feature that stops playback after 15 minutes of inactivity, but this seems to be a different issue.
In addition, videos sometimes stop playing when I switch to another browser tab. In those cases, playback resumes as soon as I return to the YouTube tab. The behavior is somewhat similar to the YouTube mobile app, where playback may stop when the screen or app is switched.
Both issues tend to occur near the beginning of a video rather than throughout the entire playback session.
I did not experience these problems while the add-on was disabled, so I suspect there may be some compatibility issue between the add-on and a web service or browser feature. - Rated 5 out of 5by felda9000, 3 months ago
