Mahmod Ashraf (ID: 00000073d3e86e55) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/08/2024 The best extension in the webstore that makes playlists out of tabbed YouTube videos by a huge margin. you made just a great extension

Hoschen (ID: 00000059f4f940d3) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/28/2023 Very cool. But i can't change the playing order of the videos in the list.

Yashen Taher (ID: 000000e70e44dfcc) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/12/2022 Almost perfect, a huge limitation is that its not able to combine youtube tabs with queues/playlists inside of them

Anthony M (ID: 000000b80b691be9) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/12/2022 Works quite well with the limitations as mentioned by others that you can't save the playlist to your account - however, you can bookmark the page of the playlist it creates, and when you open that bookmark it will always go back to that exact Playlist - so that's a way of saving it Also, you can copy the url of the playlist, paste it into something like a Google Doc or email, then access that on your phone to pull up the playlist remotely that way - when you click the link from your phone it'll open in Youtube app. Not perfectly smooth but that works, so good for what it does
