I only wish clearplay would work on a mobile browser (like firefox or kiwi) it would be 1000% easier to use. Is this plugin going to survive the Manifest V3 fiasco? Is there a firefox port in the works for those of us who do not trust google? Thanks!

Such a great service! I wish more families knew about this great resource. Easy to use, and cleans up many popular movies!

Works great. Beware that foul language is not filtered from Close Caption, this only extension only filters the sound. I've mainly used it with Amazon Prime Video. Does require an monthly subscription which kind of stinks. I've used it on Windows 10 PC and Chromebook both with an HDMI cable attached to my TV.
