Brent Corvalan 2025-08-11: Good extension! No super professional like some but it is unique and works pretty well. For some reason the mobile option doesn't seem to work all that well and causes me issues and same with the Jaava option but the rest work perfectly! Thank you!
Eimantas 2025-05-31: seems to be working, speed difference is definitely noticeable, and unlike extension FsterWeb, this one does not redirect you through sketchy third parties.
Neil Hallen 2024-09-11: Been using this app for a few years now. No issues, no problems. I love it. (Chrome)
Yellowscar 2024-02-23: Works decently well, and I love the ability to switch to the mobile version of youtube to save on resources... but doing so also forces my browser to switch to google docs mobile; which is bad enough when considering how it doesn't show distinct pages, and even worse when there seems to be some sort of bug preventing me from actually editing my documents in mobile. TDLR; There needs to be a way to selectively choose which sites are switched to their mobile equivalent, because using youtube mobile is great but using google docs mobile is horrible.
D 2024-02-07: One of the best extension to have on your browser. Speeds up page loading time significantly. I recommend turning on Block ads, Network Prediction, Page scroll and cache control for gaining speed without losing on appearance or having problem. I love it, increases loading speed significantly. The extension is not updated since June, 2022 but works very well till this date (7th Feb, 2023) and I found no other extension to do such a good job to increasing loading speed, as most extensions are so heavy that they decrease loading speeds.
