Unfortunately doesn't work.....

Johannes Roßmann, 2024-02-15

It worked but since a few days ago it stopped. There is a message inside all extensions page: service worker (Inactive) Even if i'm reactivating the service worker... it is disabled automatically. So, it might be smth with the google adblockers ban which is a big war now... or who knows, maybe somebody will say it. I still won't rate it under 5 stars because it warked flawless when it worked. Now i'm so annoyed with so many clips playing around even if i'm just touching by mistake a window full of youtube clips. Cheers team, maybe you find why it does that and if not, i loved the time i spent having it working!
