ZlydenGL (ID: 0000005cb4efe7ae) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/01/2018 Классное расширение, как говорится все нужное и ничего лишнего в одном флаконе, полный контроль за медиавкладками, с возможностью выбора зацикливания, положения воспроизведения, ух! Автору респект! И да, лично мне ничего лишнего, кроме самого расширения, не установилось.
