dumidu wanigasekara (ID: 000000948ff6b5b3) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/10/2023 best one ever better than unhook ig

Ezy Bruker (ID: 000000b2c9b703ee) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/05/2023 Works mostly as advertised but biggest issue I had was it was a bit slow and clunky I turned off all other extensions accept for this one and still found it clunkier than unhook with 5 other youtube extensions running in the background... would be interested in seeing if this gets fixed... also would be interested in a future that allows you to play audio when the screen is locked and outside the app... btw I am using this on kiwi from a mobile phone... and also the ability to cut back how many videos show up in the sidebar when a video is playing...
