This ensures smooth playback of HLS streams effortlessly.

The extension acts as a smart wrapper for the popular hls.js library, detecting m3u8 links and handling playback seamlessly. It eliminates the hassle of manually downloading HLS playlist files and provides an intuitive streaming experience right within your browser. Ideal for users who frequently access live or on-demand content distributed via HLS protocol.

Is Play HLS Safe?

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.

Play HLS requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
