- (2024-04-13) N. H.: This is my second must have extension on a browser after adblock. Not only is the ambient light much better than youtubes, but it also completely declutters youtube when watching with "hide everything in theatre mode" enabled. I can never go back to normal youtube. This extension needs much more exposure!
- (2023-11-09) Quang Dai: I felt awful for doubting this extension! Initially, I wondered why I needed this when YouTube already supports ambient mode natively. But oh my, with this extension and the customizations it brings, it takes the experience to a whole new level as long as you fine-tune it to your preferences. There are customizations beyond expectations that you can come up with. Respect to the person who created this!
- (2023-10-26) るミオ: Amazing work
- (2023-10-14) William Kuiper: This is such an amazing extension! It really gives a pleasant YouTube viewing experience, with a handful of customisation options at hand. I've got one question though: will you implement ambient theme to YouTube shorts and the YouTube home website? Definitely recommend!
- (2023-08-24) Simon: Very cool plugin as a replacement for the cinema light from Youtube. However, for some time now I have had the problem that I always have black bars on the left and right in cinema mode. For a while I had the ambient light on the sides in cinema mode as it should be. Now there are only black bars there. But the plugin still works at the top and bottom. And then I have another problem, namely that not everything is hidden when I activate the "Hide everything" function. Only everything above the video is hidden, only below. I hope there will be another update.
- (2023-07-30) Adrian Black: Please make the same extension for netflix
- (2023-07-28) Proceph: This thing is amazing! In addition to customizing the ambient light, it has options to edit the look and feel of Youtube as a whole too! Also, the tooltips are indeed quite helpful!

- (2022-11-11) Oomingmak K: Works well in light mode.
- (2022-11-05) Alry FireBlade: It isn't something essential or MUST-HAVE, but a nice touch of atmosphere it adds. It works fine with the "Vivaldi" Browser at the moment, I write this review. I give it 5/5 Stars, because it does exactly what I want, and you have many settings to mess around with, if you want to. I just keep it as it is and don't mess with it.
- (2022-11-03) trause.: Очень красивое расширение! Можно настроить сам блюр и т.п Стало безумно атмосферно.

- (2022-07-29) MichaF: Yo man, this extension rocks! I stumbled upon my old video that i recorded on this extension and i thought: HEY! I forgot about that. And I have installed it immediately after this. This is probably the best extension for yt, so many options, with 3440x1440 monitor is.. WOW. Can I somehow support you? Not a big amount becasue I don't earn much but i can send like 10$ and I hope it would help a bit :)

- (2021-11-08) Murilo GS: "RECKLESS"
- (2021-04-30) Ray Oda: I was rating this extension with 5 stars, but it doesn't work now, check it out out man <<<Edit>>> It works now well, Thx so much Wessel, It's one of my favorite extensions.
- (2021-04-23) RENAN FALCHI: I LOVED IT!!!
- (2021-04-02) Zane Ondrejko: This thing is SIck az. When you first install it you will want to do a bit tweaking with the setting on advanced mode to get it to your personal preference and if your on a weaker device, i recommend turning up the "edge size" as it will give your more FPS. When you do get it to your liking it is super cool.
- (2021-03-23) Olim Pather: The motion smoothing is really bad compared to my Samsung TV's motion smoothing.
- (2021-01-20) Victor: Muy bien
- (2020-12-12) Jiabo Hu: On Mac this extension will make youtube super slow
- (2020-11-02) Storm-Julian Tersteeg: Amazing plugin! Really adds to immersion. Best plugin that does this job, lots of settings to mess with too.
- (2020-11-01) ᴊoa͠o ᴍoura: Great work!
- (2020-10-30) Artyom Pertsovsky: This is great extension. Been looking for a general app to do this on any video (svp 4 pro does it also) and stumbled upon this. For the browser / youtube this is very good.
- (2020-08-20) Shovon Talukder: IF you have a dedicated GPU then you will have no issue to run it.. So Smooth, Um loving it !! Keep up the good work guys ..
- (2020-07-30) claypot: Super appealing to look at and doesn't have a big negative effect on YouTube's performance, but I recently encountered a bug in which text stops loading on YouTube pages with this active. If that were fixed, it'd easily be a 5/5.
- (2020-07-29) Richard Ponce: Excelente extension. Muchas Gracias por solucionar el BUG en youtube respecto a los nombre. :D
- (2020-06-25) Ryan Donkor: Very good and works well with a 21:9 monitor

Prior to adding this extension (amazing btw), I was able to scroll down to view comments when a video was fullscreened, however now I can no longer do so as scrolling seems to "lock" in position once I'm in a fullscerened scenario. Is this a feature or a bug? If it is a feature could you please tell me how to disable it, thanks! - (2022-11-06, v:2.36.31) Данила Мороков: Line in the player
Hello. I like your extension but there's one thing that bothers me. There's a very thin but very notable black line on the right side of the player when extension is on and only in theater mode. How can I get rid of it? - (2022-08-25, v:2.36.30) Veerle K: Totally off topic
Well i have an issue with my Youtube, it seems that my chrome automatically puts in ambient light around videos, i never selected this and have not had your plugin installed, but i cant find anyhting on the internet about it except for your extension, maybe you can help me, maybe not cause its totally unrelated to the extension, nonetheless thanks for reading - (2022-07-15, v:2.36.21) Roy Kevelham: Scrolling bars under comments
