Azhar (ID: 000000a79436f264) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/05/2018 I love the idea. I often get distracted by videos on recommended pages, so this helps a lot. One problem is that it doesn't work very well when you are watching playlists on Youtube. When you're watching a playlist, the menu thing on the right doesn't show up, so you can't choose the option to loop it or shuffle it. Also, sometimes it autoplays videos still. Because of this, I removed a star. Please fix it!

Dobri Janevski (ID: 00000046748de734) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/29/2018 Great plugin, hoping for more custom controls and sites.

Coby Walker (ID: 00000092247e91be) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/27/2018 I caught myself today hitting back to find another recommended video to watch, but I only noticed this after installing the plugin. I now have more time to read books, hangout with friends, do research, etc. I didn't realize over consumption was an issue until now. Thank you. Can't wait until more sites are added.
