Fantastic! One of my absolute most "can't live without" extensions. The biggest problem with it is it only attaches itself to supported videos on load. If videos are added to the page later via javascript, you don't have the option of sending those new links to Kodi.

Great extension. One thing to note is that if you do restrict the extension's website access, you need to go into the Manage Extensions window and ADD your kodi system's ip address to the exceptions otherwise the extension won't be able to communicate with Kodi if you just use the default allow youtube.com option that pops by default on Chrome.

Works well for YouTube. Needs to add more support for other websites... i.e. Bitchute, Rumble, Odessee, Banned.Video, Vimeo etc.
