User reviews

Users appreciate the add-on for significantly improving Instagram's video playback control on the web, including seamless integration and a useful scrub bar. However, recurring issues include inconsistent volume control behavior, inability to adjust volume smoothly, and a recent update that altered looping preferences causing frustration. Audio blocking when active is another common complaint. Despite these drawbacks, users remain positive and thankful, suggesting the add-on greatly enhances their Instagram video experience.

Pros

Enhances Instagram video experience on web, making it much better and more controlled.
Integrates seamlessly with Instagram, feeling like a native feature.
Provides control over video progress with a scrub bar.
Improves user satisfaction and addresses annoyances like unexpected volume changes or autoplay.
Users express strong gratitude and positive emotional response towards the add-on.

Cons

Recent update changed looping behavior, causing videos in stories to loop when users want only reels/posts to loop; lack of separate looping control for stories and reels/posts.
Volume control is inconsistent, sometimes changing volume randomly with scrolling or hovering.
Volume adjustment sometimes only supports clicking, not dragging.
Some users experience blocked audio when the add-on is activated, preventing sound playback on Instagram videos.
