Doesn't work on isolated GIF files
by Firefox user 12809733, 2024-09-28
Is there any sites this works on? not 9gag, not redgif, not any site that I have seen. The few sites that have the ability do right click and pause a video lose that ability after you install this. Why can't there be controls by default on all videos, like there always has been until FailureGoogle decided to change and take control of everything!
