Arseniy P (ID: 000000c576805290) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 01/21/2022 чего-то не хватает. слишком мало опций. хотя бы отключить этот режим на лету и комментарии показывать/скрывать. а тут вообще ничего нет. но иногда самое то. блин, как бы со всеми остальными расширениями для ютьюба подружить(

Sachin Ganpat (ID: 00000024d520ca7b) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 12/16/2019 Ok, but no easy way to go to the full video if I wanted to. in the end, it's easier to just minimise the browser.
