• (2025-07-30) Plutoniy: It worked great, but recently it pauses only when you hold down the space bar, not when you press it. Please return it as it was!
• (2025-07-24) Хакс: Broken today pls fix
• (2025-07-23) Noah Weidler: Worked great! Until today, now it just advances a few frames and pauses again. Or makes it so you can only pause or only play. Don't know what changed.
• (2025-04-05) damnpeterthepiper: Works fine! (Using on opera gx)
• (2024-05-28) Cool Beans: This fixed youtube's incompetence, thank you. The devs should really stop messing with stuff, if it ain't broke don't fix it Edit: works, but conflicts with the return youtube dislike extension
• (2024-05-23) Moon Watcher: This extension works well on my PC and I haven't noticed any problems yet.
• (2024-05-20) Tharun ChandraMohan: Working fine (for now🤞)
• (2024-05-19) Sorgair: sometimes doesn't work after alt tabbing (requires me to click play/pause once and then starts working again) but sometimes it does
• (2024-05-05) Anthony Y: Sadly, it doesn't work. Hopefully it gets fixed though and I'll be sure to change my review.
• (2024-04-06) alex worm: regarding what Mike Bilel commented: "Edit: changed my score to 4/5 because sometimes pressing spacebar will scroll down. Maybe use js keydown to intercept spacebar and press 'k' virtually?". To reproduce that simply click on video's title, press tab and then try to use spacebar
• (2024-04-05) 김하루(HARU): Works perfectly for me 👍
• (2024-03-31) Eric Fer: At first, it worked fine, but for some reason, sometimes it works, sometimes not, so I'm gonna just uninstall it now. I hope the "YouTube Space bar Fix", get fixed :)
• (2024-03-18) Mike Bilel: perfect Edit: changed my score to 4/5 because sometimes pressing spacebar will scroll down. Maybe use js keydown to intercept spacebar and press 'k' virtually?
• (2024-03-05) 황창재: This kind of cool feature is a crime.
• (2024-03-02) Roger McDowell: You're a god amongst men for creating this, thank you
• (2024-02-20) Huy: works most of the time
• (2024-02-11) adam alaa: finally works
• (2024-02-08) TR Lawmzuali: works for me
• (2024-02-03) Eric Pratt: Thanks for this. Don't know why youtube altered it.
• (2024-01-29) xyz xyz: I often switch the video quality. I don't like that after I'm done, I have to click the mouse curser on a different part of the YouTube screen in order to reenable pause with space bar; if I don't do this, spacebar will reopen the cogwheel menu. This extension fixes the problem so that spacebar will always pause the videos. Thank you, jhaemin.com for creating this extension!
