User reviews

Users appreciate EasySubs for its unique subtitle progress bar, helpful translations, and user-friendly design, making language learning through videos easier. However, many note its limited compatibility beyond YouTube and occasional bugs, including translation issues and conflicts with other subtitle extensions. Overall, it's valued but could improve site support and stability.

Pros

Unique and useful subtitle progress bar feature.
Effective for language learning by providing translations and word information.
Simple and easy to use with good design.
Supports custom subtitle uploads.
Open source, which is appreciated by users.

Cons

Limited site support, primarily working well only on YouTube and sometimes Netflix, but not on other platforms like Udemy or Udacity.
Issues with subtitle translation not always working or being incomplete.
Conflicts with other extensions such as "YouTube™ dual subtitles" causing subtitle visibility problems.
Sometimes causes bugs or stops working temporarily, including issues with keybindings interfering with normal controls.

Recent reviews

The best of its kind 💎💎 it would be so much more amazing if it supported dual-Subs as an option instead of just the translation when the user clicks on a word, + the ability to give each language (Subtitle) a color of choice ** and the ability to select text from any part of the captions' section instead of moving it, while allowing moving it only from the corner or a specific part Thank you 🌼💎

работает только на ютубе, а я смотрю на разных других сайтах, даже наличие файла субтитров ничего не меняет, ибо расширение тупо не видит другие проигрыватели

EDIT: it turns out this can be configured in settings (down right inside the video, see gifs on their homepage) i will keep original comment if someone has the same issue THIS NO LONGER APPLIES Disables the "Down" key on youtube (in the search bar, in the video, and in the comments) (probably other sites too). I will be glad to remove this review if it is fixed. To be more precise: it creates an unwanted keybinding that goes to the start of the current/previous "part" of the subtitles.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

EasySubs – Learn languages by watching films and series requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
