Does not work any more with new picture in picture YouTube mode, please fix if It Is possibile! Playback is arrested when Firefox Is minimized, when returning to tab page reloads.... This happens with Ublock origin, Tampermonkey and YouTube High Definition active extensions but unfortunately also if any other is deactivated, with any internal setting. My system is Android 13, phone is Xiaomi Note 10S. On Windows I think that this extension is of no use. Thank you. |

I love the form and function to just block off 90 percent of YouTube on Web browser is a big feat but running the add on through a generic android 13 tablet is so unstable scrolling up or down the page runs away then refreshes constantly. |

The extension stops during a video. You must close the page and reload it again and go to the extension to make it on to this page. Please fix it |

This extension has helped me for a long period, because i often use limited internet connection and deactvating videos helps saving bandwith. BUT, i recently migrated to firefox and i don't know why here this extension causes a bizarre bug that is when i play a song in a playlist, shows one music but plays the audio from the next music. I don't know why this is occuring, but is very frustrating, and only sometimes that this happens. I just use in youtube music this extension, but i have disabled it because of this error. (And sorry, i don't speak natively english, maybe have some misspell but i have to post this review to report this) |

I was concerned by comments about the extension not realIy blocking the video stream-- just hiding it. I opened Firefox's Task Manager while streaming a music video on youtube, to see if toggling Music Mode on and off affected memory & power usage. Enabling Music Mode didn't seem to reduce the CPU or Memory footprint while streaming. Too bad. If you just want to hide images, it's good. I use Music Mode in Chrome when I'm teaching. There are lots of options on what to hide & show. |
