Latest reviews
- (2025-07-09) G R: pop-up spam that i didn't ask for and can't disable
- (2025-07-03) Laura Marie: As with all other reviews, constant ads. I tolerated them until now as Magic Actions doesn't do the one thing I like having it for, letting me change volume with the scroll wheel. Happily uninstalling.
- (2025-07-01) Bosnia Hater: Would give this half a star if I could. It was a pretty handy addon before all of the deceptive pop-ups advertising straight up garbage, designed to trick less savvy people into bloating their browser with nonsense. As others have already said there are plenty of other addons available that cover the same features and DON'T spam you with popups. Avoid.
- (2025-06-28) Charles Sun: As all above, DO NOT install due to pop-ups being impossible to turn off and ruining a great extension I've had for years
- (2025-06-28) Krzysztof Przydatek: What others said: pop-up spam that cannot be disabled (there is a "fake" option that supposedly allows to turn it off but it doesn't work).
- (2025-06-27) Brian A. Teller: Great plugin, but I can no longer tolerate the relentless pop-up spam about Chrome being out of date (even when its not, confirmed in "About"). Congrats, you'all played yourself. I only really use 2 features anyway. Volume scrolling with mouse and Search on YouTube ID. Both of which are covered via extensions that don't spam popups: Youtube Volume Scroll- ID: agadcopafaojndinhloilcanpfpbonbk Search on YouTube- ID: ebgngjpjlbehmgehnpeckhdhmnoecngd
- (2025-06-25) Nathanael Schleh: Started spamming popup ads for what I'm pretty sure is malware. Goodbye.
- (2025-06-24) T C: If you install this app, prepare for a bunch of nonstop popup ads. It's crazy.
- (2025-06-24) chappuh afk: Magic Skip 5 Sterne
- (2025-06-20) Elisha Sorrowsong: Would rate zero, but minimum is 1 star... Used to be a top notch addon, until the author added all these stupid popups, about needing to update Chrome (even when your not running Chrome, such as when your running Brave, or another Chromium based browser), and revoking access for untrusted apps, etc... Seems like more and more MA has become a Google shill, instead of a useful addon... Am removing it as it is now an untrusted app in my book, and switching to another tool such as Enhancer...
- (2025-06-14) Jubal Slone: Magic Actions is an otherwise great extension ruined by incredibly suspicious popups with malicious-looking content. It does do all that it claims to do, but it brings a real risk with it that could draw in innocent users. The incredibly high ranking is very suspicious with such weird ads.
- (2025-06-13) Zertex: Are we ever going to see a fix for the problem with the settings page for the extension??? When you click the "load options" button the page reloads and nothing changes. I've been checking this for 2 months straight!
- (2025-06-11) Brian Crawford (AxelXDisepic): Constant Annoying pop up. Before they messed up it used to be pretty good
- (2025-06-03) Tonci87: Options don´t work and an annoying popup constantly asks to update the browser (It is already up to date)
- (2025-06-02) Michał Jurewicz: I've taken a look at source code and these morons intentionally made it impossible to disable popups. I recommend switching to Enhancer for YouTube, however I've really enjoyed magic actions for many years, but that's enough for me.
- (2025-06-02) Meep Meep: Intrusive pop ups telling me to scan my chrome browser or something..
- (2025-06-01) Lostsprite: An extention I had been using for years but the "Scan and Update" pop-up became WAY too much. (To preface I am using Opera GX which is Chromium based in which I have had NO other extentions have issues like this, like at all.) Instead I recommend the Enhancer for YouTube because it has a lot of the same features without that annoying pop-up. - Themes - Volume scroll wheel - Resolution options at desired quality I also think Enhancer for YouTube from what I have tried seems to load YouTube faster than what Magic Actions can, at least it seems faster to me. (Especially live streams) I really hate the enshitification of products over the years and this one is one such case from my experience, and what it seems for many other reviewers lately of this extention.
- (2025-05-26) Britain Lockman: This extension has devolved into Adware and gives popups to "scan and update".
- (2025-05-25) andrew wiljams: I love YouTube! It is a great place for talented people to be seen and heard by millions of people. It is always funny and entertaining. Many thanks for creating this terrific extension and sharing it with us! Works extremely well on slow connections(wifi). I can now watch a YouTube movie mostly without any lagging or buffering (Rocket mode) and the "SKIP" button is perfect. GET IT NOW!!
- (2025-05-20) Florin Bohotineanu: The extension itself is very nice but the Pop up ads are ANNOYING. They are useless and it's impossible to disable them. The developers of this application made it intentionally to not allow the disabling of pop up windows. I recommend to use instead the extension: Enhancer for YouTube™ It has the same capabilities and without intrusive pop up windows.
- (2025-05-15) Nikola Miljkovic: After many years of using this cool extensions, it became too annoying recently by randomly opening new chrome windows, forcing me to update Chrome while it's updated. I mean this extension should not worry about my chrome version, let alone allow it to open new windows and interrupt me while using the browser. So one big fat 1 from me for becoming annoying extension.
- (2025-05-15) Sae-ouk Oh: Works fine, but started opening an "Update your chrome now!" tab every time my non-chrome chromium browser does something.
- (2025-05-13) Kaio Ferreira: The extension is very good, but I would like you to have an option just to enable theater mode, that's all. I am having to use another extension for this. It would be cool if it was implemented. Just the theater mode, that's all. Without movie mode. hugs.
- (2025-04-30) Aaron Dewberry: The popups are so annoying. I'll update when I'm ready to update. I'm fine with having this feature if I can disable it, but otherwise please remove it. It's simply obnoxious.
- (2025-04-29) Wall dasher: Used it for so long, was good, now its just pop ups everywhere, very intrusive
- (2025-04-29) Alex Smith: I refuse to watch YouTube without it. Especially music videos. The enhancement of the lighting is worth it alone, but add all the other features in and you have one cool extension for Chrome. The day/night switch. Brilliant. Cinema mode? Why not. Screen captures...sure thing. I'm telling you that once you try it you won't want to view without it.
- (2025-04-28) Jason Jiang: The extension is a great idea and adds a lot of very useful features that work perfect. However, the extension constantly makes annoying popup windows begging the user to check out new features of the extension, show ads, or update their browser. This is highly disruptive and abusive and is unacceptable. Uninstalled. I discovered and installed Enhancer For Youtube instead, which has all the same features and more, without being a spammy piece of malware.
- (2025-04-23) Simeon Georgiev: I hope for DEVs to bring back working good, less interactive version. 1 year and no updates too.
- (2025-04-23) I'm forced to edit my 11 year old, 5 star review. It's a shame. There's no need to tell me to update anything. I never asked you to. All you were supposed to do was make youtube a little more customizable. Very disappointing. I hate the popups so much I'd give it a zero star review if I could. :(
- (2025-04-22) Caleb Beyersdorf: Used to be great but has now been ruined by constant pop-ups
- (2025-04-16) Used to be good now has pop ups all the time.
- (2025-04-14) John May: It's the best of its kind. Simple amazing and helful tool.
- (2025-04-12) ce ce: Click "Show more" to read this entire review! TRUST THE OTHER LOW RATED REVIEWS MAGIC ACTIONS FOR YOUTUBE IS PURE GARBAGE! STAY AWAY & DO NOT INSTALL THIS EXTENSION OR ANY OTHER SOFTWARE IT TELLS YOU TO. DO NOT SCAN YOUR COMPUTER WHEN PROMPTED! YOU HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY WARNED! What used to be an okay extension now displays a constant bombardment of atrocious annoying popups with extremely deceiving ads leading you to unfunctional and abandoned sites https://loaderchrome.com/ or others https://www.chromeactions.com/ prompting to install additional software claiming your browser version is out of date (mine is always kept updated). The inappropriate advertisements are misleading and deceptive and simply not worth the few minor improvements to youtube (i only use the A-B loop). It's a terrible business model and I am sure would have plenty of more bad reviews if the current users could actually identify where their popups are stemming from. Too bad, had potential but a complete slap in the face to its users. Uninstall it as quickly as possible and seek an alternative that doesn't engage in this type of activity! Too many developers build trust and after they have acquired plenty of positive scores and reviews they either sell out or pull the bait and switch scheme Do NOT install this https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/magic-actions-for-youtube/abjcfabbhafbcdfjoecdgepllmpfceif/ Read the other reviews and sort them from Lowest to highest ratings https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/magic-actions-for-youtube/abjcfabbhafbcdfjoecdgepllmpfceif/reviews You can Flag/report it here to hopefully get it removed from the Chrome Webstore so others don't suffer or become potential victims of this abuse. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/abjcfabbhafbcdfjoecdgepllmpfceif/report I wouldn't even bother emailing a complaint to them at [email protected] as they'll probably bombard you with more spam! Here is an alternative Enhancer for YouTube https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/enhancer-for-youtube/ponfpcnoihfmfllpaingbgckeeldkhle
- (2025-04-10) sharibat: Constant popups.
- (2025-04-09) Yogev Ben David: used to be great. they completly destroyed it with the popups showing up everywhere and all day long with the Chrome update which is not even relate to the really version that you have.
- (2025-04-08) Karl Tang: new tag ads everytime opening chrome
- (2025-03-30) Love Love: This computer user has employed Magic Actions for YouTube extension for better than two years and, if memory properly serves, this is my first rating of the software. Magic Actions is superb, especially in the "We-Don't-Rest-On-Our-Laurels" department for the software team appears to constantly be working on "the next best thing." One is tempted to think that should Magic Actions ever find that "end-all, be-all" product they might actually start charging money for it. With respect to YouTube-associated products and as it currently stands, Magic Actions is, simply, the best YouTube-extension software I've yet used.
- (2025-03-29) AG Moyer: Very shady extension with the pop ups and then the tools are just links to other sites. On top of this the options page has ads. I pay for YouTube prime but there is no away I'll turn of adblocking for this tool, just too sketchy to be trusted.
- (2025-03-26) cpane12: WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IF YOU HATE POP-UPS!!! Used to be an amazing extension. Now is an absolute pop-up nightmare! After you close a few tabs it pops up and says you need to update chrome. Different size windows, new tabs, and even completely new windows for no reason. Not to mention the pop-ups look like scam messages from a virus. Would be actually useful if they gave you an option to have the update checker on or off. Been dealing with it for so long but now am giving up. I am removing the extension as I cannot handle the pop-ups any longer.
- (2025-03-25) Eduardo Resek: Was great! Now it SUCKS, keeps popping up messages to update chrome, among others, trying and luring the user to click on THEIR button. I dont need any extension to do that, thanks! Almost sure it is a SCAM. Obviously they will tell otherwise, but ...
- (2025-03-24) as of March 24 2025, they started forcing ads on youtube. I pay youtube premium to not watch ads and now the Magic Actions for YouTube is forcing ads on your videos that you watch... and not only that but it is doing it every 2 minutes of watching the video. That's a lot of ads. I have had this since 2014 and sadly, must remove it.

- (2025-03-16) Daniel Lee: Like others said, its a good extension, but that popup is unforgivable
- (2025-03-09) update in 2025 Deleted this extension due to it opening stupid popup windows telling me to update chrome browser. Pathetic and unforgivable, abusive nonsense.
- (2025-03-04) vuurengeltje: only now i realize how severely you have betrayed me! you have become the very thing you were supposed to protect me from, so this is how Julius felt when his closed friend stabbed him in the back...
- (2025-02-26) Ryan Dauntless: This used to be a very good extension that I used constantly and was seriously considering donating some money towards as I had some spare funds instead of living paycheck to paycheck for a change... Then the stupid constant popups, and new tabs regarding a browser update that doesn't exist started... So instead I am looking for a new Youtube extension and disabling Magic Actions in all browsers I use (Brave, Firefox, Opera GX)... As soon as I find a suitable replacement for the features I use, I will be flat out uninstalling Magic Actions and not looking back, until then I will only be enabling it when I need it... The developer has lost my trust in regards to the extension...
- (2025-02-18) AI-based helpful reminders (recommended) The worst thing ever, random popups, I have removed the extension!
- (2025-02-15) Ken L: STOP ASKING ME TO UPDATE CHROME. WHY CAN'T I DISABLE "AI-based helpful reminders (recommended)", IT KEEPS ON REVERTING BACK TO "ENABLED".
- (2025-02-15) R V: Constantly shows "update your browser" reminder, and does not allow turning it off in the settings. Leaving negative review until this is fixed.
