ru Долгих лет жизни админу . Ютуб сломался , в очереди воспроизведения каждое второе видео воспроизводится 19 сек и начинается вечная буферизация , помогает только перезагрузка страницы . Установил это расширение и понаодключал все галочки в расширении и ютуб починился , никаких буферизаций и перезагрузок страниц .

ko "시크릿 모드에서 허용" 옵션을 켜도, 시크릿 모드에서 작동하지 않습니다. 그리고 유튜브 동영상 시작 전 검은 화면 딜레이가 몇 초 생깁니다.
