- (2025-06-15) Yui Lee: Adware. Opens tabs and shows unrelated ads.
- (2025-06-07) Reina: The actual extension works fine, but the way it opens random tabs to advertise the dev's other extensions is absolutely ridiculous
- (2025-06-07) Albert Hyral: DO. NOT. INSTALL. This extension hijacks your chrome to open up random website.
- (2025-06-02) Tom allen: claims to work yet i still have to click on continue playing
- (2025-02-14) Jan Bartula: Adware, constantly opens their dumb Manganum website
- (2025-02-11) Babbel: Spam
- (2024-11-12) Austin Marcoux: Don't install this spamware. Many extensions open some kind of changelog when they've updated. This absolute garbage instead opens a tab with some other product to advertise to you. In my case, it just opened Chrome Webstore to an extension called 'Magnum: Sidebar with Gmail and Google Calendar'. Edit: I just uninstalled the extension and, again, it opened the same extension in Chrome Webstore.
- (2024-11-12) Baked Potato: works but also advertises another service to you, would highly not recommend because of the ads
- (2024-10-30) Zach I.: Trash. Instead of stopping auto pause it instead likes to play 3 seconds of each video in my playlists and then skip through each video. Avoid.
- (2024-09-11) Richard Thompson (MostFunGuy): Opens up tabs in your browser to advertise to you. This is spamware
- (2024-09-09) R&M: Garbage. Hijacks the browser to advertise their website. Do not use.
- (2024-09-07) HermitYT: Added an annoying ad popup button for Manganum where the fullscreen button should be for Youtube.
- (2024-08-27) Oxymore: Works, but adds a button where the fullscreen button was. The new button sends to a popup advertisement. When i discovered it was this extension's fault and not a new youtube/browser update i chose to uninstall it and pick another one.
- (2024-08-25) Liam Thompson: Adds a button in place of the fullscreen toggle that opens an ad page
- (2024-08-06) Vasilii Suricov: PnP, nice!
- (2024-06-30) Cyua Pyua: Doesnt work at all. Still there
- (2024-06-19) OlegGorbunov: your fkn button is awful for perfectionists
- (2024-06-10) Алекс Хелл: It is unknown why a useless button to go to the "manganum" page is added
- (2024-06-05) Arthur: Last update is awful by changing the player UI to put an ad link instead of the full screen shortcut, uninstalling it.
- (2024-06-04) Schubins Office: Forces ads to show every few months is fine, but do NOT start this AFTER your extension no longer works.
- (2024-05-30) John Summerfield: Showing an ad every three months is not OK. Showing ten in a week is especially not OK. <Plonk>
- (2024-05-29) Jack Cutter: no longer works
- (2024-05-29) G B (GamingBud): Had this installed on a work laptop and just started experiencing a new tab being opened and redirecting without warning. I thought I had installed something that was potentially mining data and immediately feared that I might get fired. Turns out, by process of elimination, it was this extension. It now adds a button to the YouTube video interface and occasionally opens a new tab to market the Manganum extension. I do believe this violates the "Misleading or Unexpected Behavior" policy of the Chrome Web Store. Not cool. Unethical. My browser is not free ad space. Yes, AdBlock does do something similar very infrequently. I disagree with this too, but am willing to allow that because I know what to expect, and crucially, I am willing to trust them.
- (2024-05-19) Petra Psofimis: This hijacks my browser and directs it to some new age channel
- (2024-05-19) MotorHome Family: affter 20 hours my web browser goes to sme new age youtube channel, HIJACKS my browder!
- (2024-04-19) Jack Chang (Kugatsu): Installed but does not work, might due to Youtube's system update? Looking forward to your updates too
- (2024-02-13) Catharine Chamberlain: Every time I've watched more than one video on YouTube, it always pauses during that I listen to and that has to stop.
- (2024-01-24) Agent 57: This used to be a great extension for YouTube, but it now contains adware and doesn't even stop the video from pausing. Uninstalled!
- (2024-01-23) Eli Kroen: Installed, enabled, but music is still pausing., Am I missing something?
- (2024-01-19) Chris Les: Funny that everyone mentions the adware being added. It wasn't until I removed the extension that I received the "Manganum" whatever-useless-product ad. Well...you Were good.
- (2023-12-16) unified west: Became god awful adware. It started opening tabs whenever you start your browser. "We'll only do this once every three months." BS. Do NOT download this extension unless you want to download adware.
- (2023-12-15) Hope Zimmerman: "We'll only do this at most once every three months." It says as it shows another ad page three days after the first. Talk about trash!
- (2023-12-13) Chris: After the most recent update, now contains adware and will force open tabs of adverts as well as display pop up messages.
- (2023-12-13) Jaeyo: I got an adware tab immediately upon opening chrome. Removing the extension causes a pop up ad too cmon
- (2023-12-12) Kobayashi: It looks like they updated the extension and added adware, do not install. Notice how the other reviews for this are from Dec 12th too
- (2023-12-12) Critwrench: Automatically opened an ad window, and then opened a second ad window when I reacted by uninstalling it. Completely unacceptable behavior from an extension.
- (2023-12-12) Lighty: Unsolicited ad window opened without any user interaction.
- (2023-12-12) Matt Burnham (MxMattyB): adware alert, unsolicited window opened
- (2023-12-12) Gavin Stewart: Forced tab open for "manganum" without user interaction. Uninstalled, using another extension without the force-fed malware.
- (2023-11-20) Aleksey Nik: Incredible! No more annoying pop-ups on YouTube. It works seamlessly. A must-have extension for uninterrupted video watching!
- (2023-11-19) Denis Brown: The application copes with the assigned tasks. I would like to note the presence of a convenient panel for setting the characteristics strictly according to your needs. Let’s say the optimizers did a good job!
- (2023-11-13) Cooper Halvorson: This extension is an absolute savior, liberating me from the incessant annoyance of the "Video paused. Continue watching?" YouTube pop-up.
