(2022-11-01) Ura Filippov: перестало работать. переустановил, но не помогло
(2022-09-09) 北極熊（北極熊）: 為何此擴充套件要設定年齡限制？以至於在沒有登入GOOGLE之前，搜尋不要此擴充功能。 Why does this extension require an age restriction? As a result, this extension will not appear in the search until you log in to GOOGLE.
(2022-05-26) Amandine Duhammel: I love this extension but i have some troubles since a few weeks, it won't work :(
(2022-03-10) Aziz P. Brimah: I like this extension because it allows me to scroll down and read comments as I keep watching a video. It can often get buggy though, sometimes not properly reverting back to a normal video when you scroll back up to the top. I also wish there was a way to skip ads when watching in its video player. All in all, this mini video player is a convenience that I appreciate and use almost daily.
(2022-02-06) Matt Thomlinson: This was a great extension until a week ago. It now regularly puts a black mini screen on my youtube page when I'm not actually playing a video. Most annoying.
(2022-01-28) Сергей Друзь: Норм но я предпочитаю такое расширение Enhancer for YouTube™ Функционал поинтересней!
(2022-01-21) Michael Inma: Seems buggy lately when scrolling back up. Been going on the last few feeks
(2022-01-15) Diana E.: It's a great extension, does everything it claims to, nothing less nor nothing more... However it hasn't been working well for the past few days, when you go back up where the side window should be disappearing, it doesn't. It must be a recent bug or something, cause it didn't happen before
(2021-12-25) Michelle Ng: I love this extension! I wish there was the option to keep the subtitles on the video in the mini player though.
(2021-10-26) Chris Vydas: Much too small. Does not detect page zoom. Zero options. Lastly the window should be made drag resizable, or autodetect page zoom level, or manual resize by user defined pixel size. As is, it is a woeful user experience. Using the existing sizing buttons makes the floating window jump halfway off the screen!
(2021-09-13) Ozan Kaya: I've been using it for a long time now. It's basically great, gets the job done.
(2021-07-16) Sergej VD: Расширение работает, но не запоминает размер и позицию.
(2021-06-28) Jason Lo: The new YouTube hover to review feature is breaking this extension, author please look into it! Other than that this extension works great as I like to read comments while watching video.
(2021-06-24) Alfonso De Luca: Still no subtitles support :C
(2021-06-09) Yoa _: If subtitles also appeared on the miniplayer it would be great :)
(2021-06-08) Prasanna's #: Great extension. Love it!
(2021-05-11) Sh: It works well and has 3 size settings Problem: It resets to full size everytime you change browser location or download bar appears, I either have to close or cclick buttons everytime to get rid of it, so I am disabling it for now..
(2021-04-05) Hussain Patwary: Love the idea but it never saves the screen settings. Pin should be permanent.
(2021-01-02) 이윤섭: it works great !! thx
(2020-11-08) Kraiden Sith: Exactly what I needed. Worked well for me.
(2020-10-26) dorcas ung: nice!
(2020-10-04) Marcin Lukasiewicz: works great. the window size is adjustable
(2020-08-06) Sarah A: I personally love this extension because I love to read comments while watching videos! however, I like to watch korean videos with english subtitles on CC feature and I see the the extension does not add CC along with the floating video. I wish to have them getting updated soon! thank you.
(2020-07-01) Jason B: Exactly what I was looking for, thank you!
(2020-06-24) Chathindu Bandara: Thanks for this great extension. I was used to read comments while watching the video on mobile, but wasn't able to do that in PC, So this plugin is very useful. I have a suggestion : When i click those links like 14:05 in comments, can you please make it apply to the floating window so it don't get scrolled up to the original video.
(2020-03-23) souliisoul: I would love love love if I could somehow MOVE the comments all the way to the LEFT so that I could make the video bigger. OTherwise, a great extension
(2020-02-21) Raymai CardBiz: Just what I wanted.
(2020-01-20) 不放香菜: 下拉自动生成小窗口这个功能，独一无二，非常方便，比谷歌官方的PIP更好
(2020-01-17) Shafo: Very useful. I got used to scrolling through comments and watching at the same time on mobile and this lets me do the same on desktop.
(2020-01-05) xS. ᓚᘏᗢ: If i could make love to an extension and have it's babies, it's this one. 10 out of 5 stars.
(2019-10-25) Angel Gimenez: Would be nice that the player had an Always on Top option and not dissapear as you change the focus to another tab or just aplications, games, etc. That's where the five stars are. Useful and clean anyway
(2019-10-05) F M: very useful and easy to get aquainted
(2019-09-05) Ramzi: This is a great tool, but it CONSTANTLY stops working. I have to remove and reinstall it to work again. Devs, would love this to be fixed. Would be a 5-star tool. Edit: Thank you for the reply. I wish I was notified! This tool stopped working again, randomly. It works great most of the time, but I can't pinpoint why or when it stops working.
(2019-08-10) Md. Fariq Khir: Using for years. I hope there will be an update that can display captions.

(2019-04-12) Karma speaks justice: It's a great idea right from the early period when chrome extensions just started not long. Kudos for dev. for thinking that up and made this gr8 extension :D
(2019-03-06) Chris Weathers: Life saver!!! Thank you!
(2019-02-25) Nugroho: Didnt work anymore. Why it turn white while try to floating into comment section ?

(2019-01-06) Johan Hereora Hummerhielm: This actually works as advertised! Now I can read comments and watch the video as well with Picture in Picture. + Being able to press the S, M, L to make the little picture-in-picture smaller or bigger (I prefer M).
(2018-12-10) Md Rashadul Hasan: Very useful!!!!!
(2018-12-07) Disciple de Jésus-Christ: marche
(2018-11-25) Great extension. Now I can watch videos while reading comments, just like on mobile!
