User reviews

Great idea but sadly it seems to make playback a bit buggy and recently if you switch tabs after pausing the video it always keeps resuming which is really annoying. Uninstalled for now. Thanks though.

Automatically turns on audio for ALL gifs so expect to be blasted with audio if you use this. it worked before but now it's not.

Why this extension even needs to be a thing is just baffling. But I guess that's what happens when your platform isn't making money and you decide to charge people for automatically setting gifs to "HD".. when "HD" should be the default in this day and age. Just sad, really.
