Jack Singh (ID: 000000751a5fdc0b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/03/2023 I cannot believe there are only 10,000+ users of this extension. Perhaps the '+' means there thousands of thousands more! :). Great extension. I also was going to switch chrome gmail to an email app with a video player until I installed this extension. Thank you! FYI, auto play is not important to me. Mar 2023 - Stopped working so one star only. plus I didnt like what I read about it's privacy practices. - the user activity monitoring includes keystroke logging! yikes! Will look for another email app/site. May 2023 - Developer provided an explanation for the privacy practices. Works after re-installing. Back to 5 Stars! 🙂
