| 2024-07-01 | spark9 | | It works as of 2024. I'm yet to find another extension that actually does help. Even provides volume controls. However, keeps muting and background playing videos when switching tabs. You need to pause the video to start it up. Prevents Instagram Tags from working. Scrubbing mutes the video. If these are deal breakers for you, don't install. |

| 2024-04-15 | BLZGK3 | | I do like the interface of this extension compared to the others. There's 2 issues I have though. 1. To get the controls to even display, I constantly need to pause the video first, then press play which it would pop up at the bottom of the video soon after. Not a big deal, but it does gets kinda annoying after a while. 2. Once the controls activates, the tag button that displays people tagged in the video disappears. Many other extensions that are similar to this have the same issue, but it would be nice if that got fixed. Other than that, it functions like it should. |
| 2024-03-31 | Elias Z | | This extension is awesome overall. It fixes some of what I think are the biggest annoyances with Instagram. I only gave it 4 out of 5 stars though, because it has an annoyance of its own. Whenever I jump to a position in a video, to rewind or fast forward it, the sound becomes muted, and I have to unmute it. I wish this would be fixed. But other than that, this extension is awesome. |
| 2023-08-16 | Firefox user 13883959 | | Works like a charm! Would love if it can work in feed as well. And yes, why isn't that already a feature?! |
| 2023-06-19 | Syth | | The idea is great, execution slightly buggy. My biggest gripe is that reels opened from DMs don't show video controls until you pause and play them. |
| 2023-06-15 | Dimitri001 | | It's a good add-on, but it needs to load a bit faster. As it is, if you open a story, it will just show a black screen for a long time until it loads and it will often not load by the time it switches to the next story. Maybe a temporary solution is to have the add-on show you the story even before it loads and then the scrubbing controls come up once it's loaded. Also, the scrubbing controls sometimes overlap with the Instagram controls (like the bar for typing comments in stories). Furthermore, a video will start muted, you unmute it and then pull the slider back to the beginning of the video and that mutes the video again. Very frustrating. Once you unmute it should stay so until you mute it again manually. A good add-on, but needs some work. |
