Version 1.1.1

Version 1.1.0
- now works for all videos on YouTube, for Cosmic Panda, for the new interface (because image thumbnails have a greater width now and youtube doesn't provide thumbnails for that width, I use standard width of 120px so you will not see pixelated images)
Version 1.0.1:
- when you are on YouTube you will see in the url bar YouTube Preview icon from where you can change extension settings;
- you will be able to set thumbnail rotation time (default is 1000 milliseconds);

- The only extension that i found that it works in my windows 10 home in 64, thank you so much to who made this from Málaga, Spain.

- Nov. 2018 OP: Works. And the additional rating preview function is great. Feb. 2021 Edit: Honestly surprised (and glad) that the rating preview function on this extension still works. I uninstalled this extension in favour of another one back in 2019 IIRC, and that one stopped working last year. Back to this one I guess.

- Almost all thumbnail videos in youtube were disappeared. After installing this extension, they come back. Thank you very much.

- Used this extension on both Chrome & Firefox. I like seeing a preview of the video, and the simple rating bar. The only small problem, is that if you go through a lot of channels, the bar does not show up for a minute or so.

- WRONG THUMBNAIL! Often changes the thumbnails in the Recomended/Up Next column. Similar to the Netflix bug where the wrong description shows up on a show or movie. VERY frustrating when you want to see what video the thumbnail is from but can't find it.

- The App keeps getting better! Before, the extension would show three preview images from the video, Now it actaully shows a small segment of the video! played in the thumbnail. 10/10 A+++
- Rabbitos
- Worked perfectly. Now Youtube does this on its own! So no need to get this anymore. :)
- Sam Friedman
- Shows very few image previews (looks like a slideshow of 4 images) and often shows the wrong video. Also, it seems to be breaking YouTube sometimes for me, however I can't be certain if it's this extension in particular.
- Atrium Domy
- It used to work perfectly, but some time ago it gone wrong or crash. Now it seems to show frames from diferent videos, no match. Preview shows lion figting, but when u click on it it shows cooking tips, have no idea whats going on
- Danusty I
- The best! let's you verify if the video is what you were actually looking for; also includes ratings preview. I will never fall for fake videos again!
