- (2025-07-03) Tomas T.: 3rd July 2025 it works!!! Also for Watch later! Thank you so much! Just restart your browser (the extension should say that). The only downside is that the button is not really intuitive, I don't really know in which state it is. Had to test it.
- (2025-06-24) balanoidik: 24.06.2025 it works, just make sure to restart your browser.
- (2025-05-17) Lauren Joanna: Didn't work at all, I'm disappointed as it's highly rated. Maybe it needs updating?
- (2025-04-03) Fuad Wiratama: just to the point
- (2025-04-02) Denny Solorzano: it's not working in current chrome version 134.0.6998.165 (Build oficial) (64 bits)
- (2025-03-20) Poochie Collins: Been using for over a month; works as advertised with no noticeable bugs.
- (2025-03-11) Michael Cordon: I think it worked a bit ago but it doesn't today. Tried it with the Pause icon (service active, I think?) and again with it off. I refreshed the webpage each time. I suspect the most recent Chrome update broke it. Chrome version 134.0.6998.35 (got it today).

- (2023-10-15) LOAY TATTAN: This is possibly one of the best (if not the best) extensions for youtube. It saves time, and saves your mental health from YT engineers and their ignorance to your basic needs.

- (2023-07-24) Sytry: Works perfectly. It's a bit annoying having to refresh when I toggle it but it gets the job done. Very surprised it still works considering it hasn't been updated since 2021

- (2023-05-19) Matt Burnham (MxMattyB): does not respect being turned off edit: i've figured it out further. after a restart, there is a chance that the extension icon will display as a dimmed play button indicating that the extension is disengaged, but getting to the end of a video in a playlist still pauses as if the extension is still engaged. clicking the extension once does not change the icon from the dimmed-play, but does on subsequent occasions toggle it between dimmed-play (off) and bright-pause (on). this bug means that on restart this extension has not only the capability but probability to lie to users, deceiving them about its state. this is an urgent error that a restart is needed to effect enablement change is annoying but at least it is honestly disclosed on the extension description

- (2022-12-09) cecilia p: guys this really works!! just make sure to REFRESH the page after you toggle! the = button means its on and the video will stop on a playlist, but if you keep it toggled and open another youtube tab it stays on, and i'm constantly cycling through videos on my watch later so this is fantastic! so happy this exists!
