davvero una bella estensione, ma purtroppo è molto pesante, su hardware vecchio (un core i5 di prima gen) il layout moderno si carica piu velocemente e praticamente fluido mentre con l estensione è piu lento e il video tende a laggare spesso, peccato perche pensavo potesse essere una soluzione per un layout piu leggero essendo vecchio come layout, sarebbe bello fosse piu leggero su hardware vecchio. its a really good extension, sadly its really heavy on old hardware, (a 1st gen i5) the modern layout loads quicker and has works smooth, instead with the extension it takes longer to load, the player lags for a while before its loaded, its a shame because i tought it would be a lighter layout being older, it would be nice if it was lighter on older hardware.
