TR SCH (ID: 000000a73bc448f5) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 01/08/2023 Helps me to hide videos and only listen to them. This increases my productivity Would be great to manage settings by only clicking the symbol on symbolsbar. Actually you have to move to Options in chrome settings, which is in a new tab, to decide "hide photos" on/off "hide videos" on/off also i have to restart a already playing video if i decide to hide it
