- Rated 5 out of 5by detteiu-03, 5 days agoA great extension that can implement a 10-second skip on the mobile version. Thank you very much.
- Rated 3 out of 5by marktastic, 7 days agoseems pretty good so far but i do have a few issues. first is i dont think idm recognizes the video that loads so i have to rely on its own download feature which hasnt been too reliable. and my pop out video options dont seem to interact either and there is currently no pop out video button so i have to right click to do it. also if i start to download a video do i need to keep the tab open until it downloads the video? if the extension continues the download that would be ideal

- Rated 5 out of 5by Jean, a month agoCouldn't watch any videos without buffering before, after extension haven't had any problems yet. Thanks :)
Only note: would be nice to be able to change and see the quality of the video that's currently playing
EDIT: turns out I'm dumb and there IS actually a button to change quality, so don't mind what I said before - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18646267, a month ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17770706, 2 months agoCan you explain which settings or how much space allocationwill not use SSD but only RAM while buffering entire video.?? Is their any option to buffer in external drive(pen drive) just to save the lifespan of precious SSD.???
This addons makes me remember the slow internet era where Speedbit Video Accelerator like software use to be used for smooth buffering. Thanks a lot. great addon. my first comment for a only solution to this buffering problem - Rated 5 out of 5by Nader-sama, 2 months agoIt's great, we hope to add a quick option to change the quality.❤️🔥

- Rated 5 out of 5by MonkeyBungaBungaConi, 2 months agoThe Audio Equalizer is the best i used from a Addon.
But the information from the individual switching regulator on the Audio Master Equalizer blocks the view of the master, a transparent window would be good. - Rated 5 out of 5by Waifu Connoisseur, 2 months agoI was having trouble consistently streaming anime on my go-to anime website. The recent influx of traffic, along with the servers it used (on most websites) has said servers even more strained. Pretty much across the board on all anime streaming websites, it was looking bleak for me, and others were sharing this experience.
Tbh, I did not think this add-on would do much, but holt-moly it is a complete and utter game changer! Not only did it boost the buffering speed more than 10x over, it actually SHOWS the 'true' amount that has been buffered on the bar, like videos used to.
Years ago, buffering bars used to show the 'true' progress that had been made on the progress bar of whatever you were viewing (like a darker grey bar that proceeds past the, what is usually, red progress bar). However, as of recent years, this stopped functioning like it used to.
It would show the progress by about a minute, then halt, whether it was buffering further, or not.
This extention breathes new life into streaming, and I have no idea how it is not more popular. It shows the 'true' progress of the buffering on the 'play'/'progress' bar, and it is WAY faster.
A few tips I found out is that you can hide the progress bar so it isn't always there by triple-clicking the mouse on the window of what you are streaming. Another is that it is set to save & download what you are streaming into local storage. If you don't want storage being clogged up by numerous videos, turn this off in setting using the cog wheel in the player.
Finally, when you are wtahcing/streaming a video, this may seem obvious, but make sure to go into your extension list and turn on this extension, it'll be obvious when you do as the UI completely changes.
This is a full 5/5 stars from me, I legit made this account to review this add-on. Not only does it load videos uber-fast, but it has a vast amount of settings you can change, so it's exactly to your liking. I love all of the hot-key options. I have only just got this, so there are likely more wonderful additions to this add-on, but I simply haven't discovered them yet.
There is literally no reason not to get this as far as my logic goes, no more stagnant buffering on anime streaming websites, it's now a thing of the past. Of course, I'll update this review if anything changes.
The stagnant buffering was especially awful today, hence why I searched for something just like this.I saw "6x streaming speed" and took it with a grain of salt, but it exceeded my expectations. Truly a wonderful add-on. Kudos to the developers, and thank you for enhancing my straming experience online! :) 10/10!!! I must make a post and share this with others! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18599213, 2 months agoIf you are having buffer issues , you should try this excellent extension
- Rated 5 out of 5by Mayamis, 2 months agoI usually never comment on add-ons but had to come here to say this is THE GREATEST ADD-ON I EVER USED! Thank you so much for this it's incredible and saved me frustration. My connection is great and I watch a lot of youtube and it's been acting out constantly buffering and pusing even at 720p for months now. With this add-on it's lightning fast.. 2k video loads so fast and completely it's amazing. I also love all the additional features built in.
NOTE to people. you have to actually enable it once you open the video you want to watch. at first I didn't think it's working at first cuz nothing was different, I didn't realize you have to go into add-ons extensions icon in top right corner and turn it on once you're on video page for new player to load. thank you works like charm - Rated 5 out of 5by Qtsuin, 2 months ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18189761, 3 months agoSurprised at how much faster this actually makes streaming videos. It is night and day difference and the fact that it is open source is icing on the cake. Thank you for making this!!
- Rated 5 out of 5by derbell22, 4 months agoTremenda joya. Lo unico que no me agrada es que no haya deblocking, es molesto en videos viejos. Estaria buenisimo una opcion para poder habilitar este filtro.

- Rated 5 out of 5by ladydatura, 4 months agoAbsolutely blew me away! I am still shocked by how much of a difference it makes. I was about to ditch my beloved Firefox because NOTHING could fix Youtube, but this saved my life. Thank you!!!!
