This app does not do what it claims probably best it stay free. ### 3/5 — Blocks Videos from showing on home page *2025-09-11, version 2.12.0* Theres seems to be a bug on MacOS 26 at least causing videos to not show up on the homepage of Youtube. Otherwise it works well. ### 3/5 — Stopped working randomly. *2025-09-10, version 2.12.0* Use to work great. now youtube loads with all gray boxes for thumbnails on safari. ### 2/5 — STILL Doesn’t Auto Resize *2025-03-29* Extension used to auto resize videos to full frame on my old Intel Mac mini but I just upgraded to the M1 Studio and it no longer auto-resizes reliably. Don’t know if it’s the new M1 Studio somehow, the latest Sonoma or a recent extension update that broke it but it seems to have begun coincidentally with me upgrading to the M1 Studio. ### 3/5 — Bugs *2025-03-11, version 2.8.0* When I use this, I can’t set quality normally, I have to set via this extension, but suppose when watching I switch to another video( eg subscriptions, related etc,) without reloading the page (AJAX) , then it does NOT change quality, unless I reload the page, basically only works for one video until I reload ### 4/5 — Great…when it works *2025-02-06* The extension does what it says, about 50% of the time. When it works it’s fantastic, but very inconsistent. ### 5/5 — Best Automatic quality and FPS *2025-01-09* Sifari showed me this upgrade on iphone 13 Pro. Ios 18.2 it works as it says it dose add it to HD Better player all the time. I dont think ive ever had any probs with safri extentons 👍👍👍keep it up ### 3/5 — Doesn’t Auto Resize *2024-12-19* Extension used to auto resize videos to full frame on my old Intel Mac mini but I just upgraded to the M1 Studio and it no longer auto-resizes reliably. Don’t know if it’s the new M1 Studio somehow, the latest Sonoma or a recent extension update that broke it but it seems to have begun coincidentally with me upgrading to the M1 Studio. ### 5/5 — Working on MacBook Air M3 *2024-12-15, version 2.8.0* Works well, does what it says. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t *2026-03-22, version 2.20.0* This app and 90% of the others on the Mac App Store are ALL EXACTLY the same. The only app that I’ve downloaded that is different and actually works is the PIP for YouTube app. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-02-01, version 2.19.0* This thing used to work. Now its absolute garbage and needs to be removed from the App Store. Update your app or get lost. ### 1/5 — Does not function *2026-01-11, version 2.18.0* Doesn’t work. Avoid ### 1/5 — STILL Doesn’t Auto Resize *2025-09-10, version 2.12.0* YouTube videos no longer populate the page anymore after the most recent update. Just a blank webpage. Had to uninstall this. ### 1/5 — Breaks YouTube *2025-09-10, version 2.12.0* It was working great until latest update breaks youtube alltogether ### 1/5 — very bad *2025-05-20, version 2.9.0* more bad!!! ### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas *2025-05-08, version 2.9.0* Toujours bloquer en 360p sur safari ### 1/5 — 설정하는게 *2025-01-22, version 2.8.0* 최고화질로 설정해놓고 영상 설정 들어가보면 자동되어있어 수동으로 안바뀌고 480화질은 90년대 tv를 보는것같아 다시만드셔야겠네요 ### 1/5 — Does not work *2025-01-12, version 2.8.0* The auto theatre mode function doesn’t work. I’ve contacted the people behind this extension twice and I’ve yet to receive a reply after one month. ### 1/5 — не чего не понятно *2024-12-11, version 2.7.0* не чего не понятно, не чего не работает! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 좋음 *2026-02-09, version 2.19.0* 잘쓰는 중! ### 5/5 — 6/5 stars *2026-01-03* If I could give it six stars I would.

Total unicorn in today’s world where something just works. ### 5/5 — Works as described *2025-12-23, version 2.16.0* Auto sets videos to the desired resolution. Simple and works. ### 5/5 — All Issues Fixed! *2025-09-26* This extension was broken for awhile but I can report that after the latest update it once again works as expected!
