СПЕРВА НЕ РАБОТАЛО, А ПОТОМ КАКЗАРАБОТАЛО !!!!!!!!!!!! )))))) действовал чисто по наитию, я не программист, но было подозрение, что если в отзывах и "хорошо работает" и "не работает совсем", значит дело в настройках. понимаю так же, что чем проще задача, тем надёжнее она выполняется (хоть о дворнике речь, хоть об искуственном интеллекте), следовательно, нам нужно лезть в настройки расширения и нужно сделать их максимально проще. в общем я усановил как расширение встроенное в хром. потом залез в управление расширениями хрома, "отключил" там все ВПНы и всё что стояло ранее (не удалял, а просто отключил, чтобюы не было "разногласий"), "закрепил" всё что мне нужно из включённых расширений (чтобы всегда видеть, что включено), и в том числе закрепил бустер ("это чтобы лучше видеть тебя, дитя моё"). Бустер не работал. тогда я нажал левую кнопку мыши на нём, убрал все галки кроме экспорт-импорт. Бустер всё ещё не работал. тогда я нажал правую кнопку на значке бустера "b", в появившемся всплывшем меню нажал "расширения для сайта" и отключил там всё, что мне не нужно, например "плтежи .. геоднные .. использование камеры" и прочую парашу, поставил "блокировать". итого: никаких ВПНов у меня не включено. торрент качает на максималках. интернет не самый скоростной. но ПРИ ЭТОМ ВСЁМ ютуб грузится даже на опережение. у меня даже при ВПНе так не грузилось и до блокировок приходилось выбирать - торрент или ютуб. если всё это не совпадение какое-то случайное - классна программа, разрабам низкий поклон.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

YouTube Booster requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

YouTube Booster has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
