User reviews

was a very solid extension before they added premium, not only did they put auto fullscreen behind a paywall, they made the app much less reliable (wont even load sometimes). The only reason I was using this in the first place was because tampermonkey couldnt auto sync scripts across devices meaning id have to manually install the script (that essentially does what this extension does for free) on every device. Now that this is the less convenient option of the two, looks like im going to be switching back.

it's pretty useful but does have alot of issues, like having to adjust permissions constantly and reloading youtube to get it to work, rating it 2 stars because when it does work it's very usefull.
