Tyson Moosman (ID: 000000dc4d5634e3) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/24/2023 Edit 9/24/23: My original rating was too harsh. This extension is great for helping viewers discover content creator's videos on alternative platforms. Sorry Tyler, I know some developers can get discouraged when users become insufferable as I did in my original review. Please add Rumble, they are making record growth. Thanks!

Trone (ID: 00000028560881c1) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/06/2021 This is a great anti-censorship tool! If a video disappears from one platform, it'll help you find it on another platform. YT said that they'd taken down 8.3M videos by early 2018, for example. More info about this plugin from Sarah C. at https://www.bitchute.com/video/SS6xyIqsHw2t
