- Rated 2 out of 5by NSEW, a year agoDoesn't work on 720. Might work on 480, but 480 streams fine for me.
It seems to increase the buffering speed overall of youtube, but will not complete an entire video. My video does buffer faster, but not fully.
Just tested if something might be blocking the extension:
about:config media.mediasource.enabled setting it to false will fully buffer a video that this extension only buffers around 20-40 seconds worth - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 17509261, a year ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18265375, a year agoThis is a wonderful extension that allows unlimited buffering of video in any resolution. The settings are thorough and make the extension very customizable.
The only small issues are that it stutters when seeking in 4k, breaks sponsorblock, it's limited to 140s buffering in incognito, and downloads are all 720p for some reason. These are only nitpicks.
Overall, this extension is amazing, and I am grateful to the developer. - Rated 5 out of 5by testing5456465, a year agoI miss when youtube used to let me buffer an entire video.
Luckily with this extension I don't have to miss it anymore.
Honestly probably the best extension I have installed since I have a poor connection where the video where the buffering is often MUCH longer than the video itself,
so I can just leave the video buffering for a few minutes then come back to a perfectly smooth watching experience on any website! - Rated 5 out of 5by Max Fleming, a year ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Twainer, a year agoIt looks great! I absolutely love the audio EQ section. EQ is something that I've wanted on the browser for years. Only had it for a couple hours at this point but once I figure things out, its going to be the default for me. Having some trouble with youtube live streams...it can't seem to find anything to play. I need to work with it more to figure out why...

posted a year agoAuto detect only works when you open the player before you visit the website with the video source. This is for privacy, the extension doesn't allow other tabs to access video sources you've visited in the past. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17041911, a year agoI really like this :)
I've been looking for something like Twitch Alternative Player for other sites for a while now and this seems to work well enough for what I've done with it so far. For youtube specifically, it would be really good to be able to make it Theater mode and if videos started by itself (right now I have to press the play button after the site loads), I might use it as default if these things are implemented. Thank you for the extension!Developer response
posted a year agoThanks for the review! Theater mode support is in progress (1.2.4 should open in theater mode if you have it enabled on YT's default player).
EDIT: Autoplay for Youtube is now available!
