Хорошее, но оно почему-то ломает CSS стили в Google Cloud Console. Час провел, пытаясь определить причину, перебрал все расширения, в итоге причиной было оно

honestly i haven't had any problems with this site i found it quite good for a free site the only issue was it did pause at the start but it got better like after a 4-5 minutes into the movie.
