Summary

Make using websites a better experience with Smuuvr!

Smuuvr improves the UX (user experience) for popular websites, with features made to enhance specific websites like YouTube, Google, Instagram, Trello, WP Admin, and many more, adding features and tools to automatically identify or hide premium content, auto-hide 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. 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- offering free functionality with no expectations or data collection and no premium offers. We do NOT know WHO uses Smuuvr is nor what sites they visit with our plugin - completely anonymous! We value and respect our users anonymity. Google Chrome Store tells us how many users TOTAL use the add-on, but that's it! We do not track anyone by cookie or any other means to reveal data or sell your data to advertisers. Smuuvr is 100% safe and free with no data collection, and you can use it safely without worry.

If you find an unwanted interaction of Smuuvr with any webpage, it may be a glitch or a bug. We have not tested every single website in the world, so there's always possibilities for unwanted interactions. If this happens, please report the bug or glitch via our support Forum (free), and we will update with a fix as soon as possible.

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.
