Pros

Effectively blocks ads and unblocks video playback on YouTube.
Simple and elegant solution with good user feedback.
Allows changing player mode (Theatre, Full Screen) to fix playback issues.
Generally works as advertised and is easy to use.
Has options like "privacy-enhanced mode" to bypass certain YouTube restrictions.

Cons

Occasional issues with videos playing twice or double audio playing simultaneously.
Conflicts with other extensions (e.g., Unhook), causing playback problems or looping scenes.
Minimize button in the player control is missing or behaves inconsistently, requiring page refresh to restore functionality.
Some users experience videos freezing or needing manual refresh to fix playback.
Back button sometimes reloads the page instead of going back, and playback can stop working completely after a while.
