## Review summary

RotateView is appreciated for its simple functionality to rotate videos or pages by 90 degrees, useful for reading manga or viewing videos without device rotation. However, it lacks flexibility in rotation angles (no -90 or 180 degrees) and has problems with full screen video playback on some sites. Users desire better control over where it operates and struggle with issues rotating images or removing the extension. Despite this, it works well after restarting Firefox and is straightforward for quick rotation needs.

### Pros

- Works as expected for rotating videos, especially useful for viewing manga vertically or on devices like Steam Deck.
- Simple and straightforward functionality with a focus on 90-degree rotation.
- Some users find it helpful for rotating videos or images without changing device orientation.
- Generally liked by users who want a quick rotation option.
- Works after restarting Firefox and can be applied on various pages beyond just video content.

### Cons

- Only allows 90-degree rotation once; no support for -90 degrees or 180 degrees rotation.
- Issues with full screen mode for videos on some web pages, resulting in display problems.
- No options for white/blacklisting pages or restricting the add-on to single pages.
- Does not work properly with images or on some web pages, sometimes showing blank pages or content outside the visible area.
- Extension removal issues in some cases, requiring browser reset to remove.
