User reviews

TubeLister is praised for efficiently creating playlists from open YouTube tabs, helping users, especially those with ADHD, manage multiple videos easily. Users appreciate the ability to save playlists by bookmarking URLs and the convenience of background playback. However, common issues include the inability to save playlists as real YouTube playlists, loss of videos when merging playlists, no option to reorder videos, occasional unresponsiveness, and the extension closing all open YouTube tabs after use.
