Extension summary

Make using websites a better experience with Smuuvr!

Smuuvr improves the UX (user experience) adding features and tools for popular websites, with features made to enhance specific websites like YouTube, Google, Trello, WordPress Admin, and many more. Smuuvr can automatically identify and highlight or hide premium content (ads etc), auto-hide banner ads, skip ads, widen pages for wide screen viewing, force dark-mode on any site, rotate or size videos, and more!

For a more complete list of websites that Smuuvr can enhance with special add-on features, visit our website https://Smuuvr.com.

Once enabled, use the Smuuvr toolbar on the right side of your browser by mousing over it or touching it. It will slide out with a list of buttons containing awesome additional features- like the ability to rotate videos or media at any 45 or 90 degree angle, make videos wider or taller, show only the video, loop video parts, play/pause or skip ahead in videos, auto-scroll thumbnails, make UIs nicer, and other things that you wouldn't normally be able to!

Use Smuuvr for productivity when it's enhancing WP Admin with alphabetized navigation and search features, or Trello with the ability to minimize and auto-fade columns for better focus and less clutter.

This extension is best on desktop or laptop, but is also compatible on mobile Phone, Tablet, or other any extension-enabled Chrome-based browser, like Kiwi Browser for Android!

People often say, if you do not see a product for sale on a digital product, then you ARE the product, usually referring to the fact that large apps sell user data to advertisers. Well, NOT in this case. It is our philosophy that anonymity is important. So, Smuuvr does NOT collect any data about our users, sells NO data to anyone, and is probably one of the few pieces of software these days that is truly freeware! Free functionality with no expectations, no ads, and no data collection. We do NOT know who uses Smuuvr, nor what sites are visited with our plugin - completely anonymous! We value and respect our users anonymity.

Google Chrome Store tracks their own basic data, but keeps it anonymous, and does tell us how many users TOTAL use the add-on, but that's it! No specifics, no histories, no user info. We do not track anyone by cookie, nor any other means to reveal data or sell your data to advertisers. Smuuvr is 100% safe and free, and you can use it safely without worry, like the good ol days.

Ha estado funcionando bien hasta esta semana donde en Twitch no paran de salir los anuncios, lo cual es un problema porque se llena cada poco.

It works! and does exactly what I need it to! So why the lame review? It does more than I need it to. I can't save any of the settings. I want to disable some features, and the settings won't apply.

Works great - most ads are being replaced with black screen after ~1 second of playback. The only issue I see are closed captions do not show and the scrub bar is not accessible at the bottom. If a video is in another language but translated to English in the captions, I am forced to disable the extension and refresh the page. -- 6/12/2024 Edit: Author is correct with the scrub bar issue fix. Overall great active development - especially after the recent "ad blocker lockout". 5/5 would install again.
