2023-04-25	dadodasyra	Comme tout les produits de McAfee, ralentit plus votre PC que l'inverse
2022-11-29	danny clark	such a good virus cleaning program!!
2022-11-27	ʏᴀsʜ ɢᴏᴘᴀʟ ɢᴏᴇʟ	was lagging on chrome to watch youtube it wasn't running well just after from 1 minute of downloading it video didnt stopped ,cnot even for a single second ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for me it deserves 10 stars
2022-10-29	Sami Türkoğlu	thnk u very much :))
2022-10-09	Warren Shimizu	Whenever Chrome is updated the Auto-Play setting resets to OFF! So annoying to have to turn the setting back on!!!!
2022-10-06	Pushpak Soni	It does not stop videos on LinkedIn for some reason.
2022-08-31	Chrome Extension	It does nothing apart from collecting and harvesting user data
2022-08-07	Suman Saurabh	with only few exception it pause all ads videos as soon as it load, I do not keep my laptop mute but also I do not like unwanted sound so it helps a lot.
2022-07-28	Tricia Lynn	I'm still using it, and it's working fine on most sites EXCEPT for Fox News! Their annoying videos on top of articles play every single time. Also, I don't like the notification that McAfee blocked a video from playing every time it does. Please get rid of that and I will change my rating.
2022-06-07	3422이상인	I cannot feel any difference but annoying Uncaught (in promise) Error logged on my developer console everytime I click somewhere.
2022-06-01	Leo CM	A must for browsing the internet; it does exactly what it says: it stops videos from auto-playing and helps keep your internet browsing fast.
2022-05-07	Chris Abbott	As of May 2022, this extension isn't working on Chrome or Edge. Videos are playing as normal. This is a shame up until recently it worked pretty well, sometimes only needed a refresh to prevent videos playing. Please fix it!
2022-03-13	selton clay	muito bom gostei muito
2022-03-03	ᮃᮞᮨᮕ᮪ ᮕᮙ᮪ᮘᮥᮓᮤ	Best Extentions
2022-01-26	Ultrahyper Mk2new	This thing keeps adding itself to my extension whenever added a new profile on Chrome for whatever reason
2021-12-31	voltaliobscur	For some reason, it doesn't work on nationalgeographic.com. Everywhere else, but not there.
2021-12-30	Jeroen M	It just modifies your default search engine. When you are browsing the web an annoying bar appears below the adressbar and is gone in a few seconds. What is fricking annoying if you want to press an button on an website and the button shifts down.
2021-09-29	จับฉ่าย	when i am using microsoft team This program freezes my picture while in a meeting.
2021-08-23	REGIUS GAMERZ	is this a virus?
2021-08-22	Forest Featherston	tHIS APP PLACED AN AD FOR THEIR SOFTWARE ON MY SCREEN. THERE WAS NO X OR CLOSE BUTTON. USING TASK MANAGER TO KILL THIS APP CAUSED IT TO REBOOT THE SAME AD. THIS IS 100% UNDENIABLY ADWARE, WHICH IS IRONIC GIVEN IT'S MCAFEE. DELETE THIS FROM YOUR APP STORE, AND STOP SUPPORTING MCAFEE PRODUCTS. THAT'S THE ONLY THING T0 DO. ALTHOUGH I KNOW GOOGLE IS MORE GREEDY THAN SENSIBLE -_-
2021-06-07	Thiago Souza Onofre	Tenho uma sugestão: poderia permitir inserir exceções que eu não desejo que sejam interrompidas. Por exemplo: participo de reuniões no google meet e toda hora tenho que ficar liberando o vídeo dos participantes.
2021-05-11	Game industry	По моему лично мнению до 5 звёзд ещё далеко сам по себе McAfee не плохой а вот расширение McAfee® Web Boost так себе да и до совершенство самого McAfee далеко !
2021-05-09	EleFors	Останавливает видео, идеально)
2021-05-04	dreno A.D.A.S	lado positivo: pausa los videos de anuncios. no hay que pausar los anuncios. me ahorra internet. lado negativo: te pausa videos inocente, no pausa los anuncios que tiene anuncios, cuando voy a escuhar algo, lo pausa. hay videos que desearía que pausara, pero no los pausa. conclusión: si lo recomiendo, pero si trabajo como no es, o si te pausa videos inocentes, no la uses
2021-03-03	Joe 4d	Never stopped video from loading just pauses them, usually after the video has started a few seconds Now today websights are constantly switching it off so basically it has become worthless.
