User reviews

Users value this extension highly for its effective ad removal and improved Youku playback over the official player. It is regarded as powerful and reliable, but many reports indicate it has become incompatible with newer Chrome versions or Youku updates due to discontinued maintenance. Common issues include failures to load videos, playback stalls, and lack of automatic updates. Some advanced features such as keyword filtering in danmu are also broken or insufficient. Overall, users appreciate its functionality but are disappointed by the halted development causing usability problems.

Pros

Effectively removes Youku ads, providing an ad-free viewing experience.
Powerful and easy-to-use player that many users have relied on for a long time.
Supports replacing the official Youku player, improving playback experience.
Users appreciate its unique functionality as other similar plugins seem discontinued.
Allows some level of customization (e.g., subtitle/danmu options).

Cons

Stopped updating leading to compatibility issues with newer Chrome versions and Youku changes.
Frequently fails to load video information or video playback stalls, causing frustration.
Incompatibility with Chrome versions above 73 unless specific flags are adjusted; this fix is temporary and may be removed.
Limited or broken features like keyword filtering in danmu and video playlist reading.
No automatic update feature, requiring manual reinstallation for fixes and updates.
