User reviews

Users appreciate the extension's innovative functionality of summarizing YouTube videos with AI, supporting multiple languages, and having a user-friendly interface. However, many report frequent errors like API token limits causing failures, incomplete or poor-quality summaries with broken English, UI issues, and lack of configuration options. These issues hinder consistent usability and reliability, though users value the core concept and hope for improvements.
