Review summary

Web Scrobbler is praised for broad site support, stability, and easy configuration, with strong metadata editing options. The main drawbacks mentioned by multiple users are the lack of a pause control, inconsistent scrobble accuracy and metadata across sites, and update-related compatibility issues. Overall, it remains a highly useful, versatile Firefox extension for Last.fm scrobbling, valued by long-time users for its coverage and configurability.

Pros

Very broad site compatibility that covers many services (YouTube, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, NTS and other self-hosted platforms) for Last.fm scrobbling.
Stable and feature-rich with years of reliable use; generally easy to set up and configure.
Offers a rich set of editing options for metadata, helping fix or refine scrobble data when needed.

Cons

Lacks a built-in pause control for scrobbling; users repeatedly request an easy pause/CTA button to stop scrobbling video chapters.
Inconsistent scrobbling accuracy and metadata across sites (some tracks missed, metadata incorrect, or album art issues on certain services such as VK); Bandcamp may skip tracks and YouTube Music may require manual steps.
Update/compatibility issues; users report long waits for updates or occasional breakage after updates, affecting some sites or features (e.g., Yandex Music, VK cover art).

2026-07-13	De*****	Does not work with Yandex Music and especially with Moya Volna. Не работает с Яндекс музыкой после того, как там всё обновили. На Github уже пользователи уже создали темы, но всем пофиг.

2026-07-09	Sc*****	I use this for Apple Music since they don't support a native scrobbler API like Spotify. But now that I found this I can scrobble Apple Music's web player, I don't need to use Spotify anymore just to scrobble music which is very nice. I like that the add-on lets me enable it for select websites too, very handy. Performance seems to be okay.

2026-07-03	Fi*****	Why does the app suddenly require additional data collection permissions? Very sketchy imo.

2026-05-01	Fi*****	A little shady how it updated to be "required" to collect browsing activity and data but the extension itself works fine so whatever. These days everyone's selling your data whenever you use a service so I guess that's just the way it is.

2026-04-16	Fi*****	it works sometimes but it's own album recognition doesn't really work properly, at least on YT Music. Same thing goes for artist recognition, if there are multiple artists on a song it will scrobble the track as a single artist comprised of all their names. for example "Clipse, John Legend, Voices of Fire, Pusha T and Malice" when it should just be "Clipse". Pano Scrobbler on android solved this by adding a "Scrobble first artist" option, hoping something similar can be implemented here. Obviously this brings issues when the artist name has a comma but that's what bulk edits are for.

2026-03-29	Ko*****	I never listen to music without scrobbling it to Last.fm and this extension was very helpful for that. It supports pretty much everything, including a lot of self-hosted services. Music info quality varies heavily between different sites — especially when scrobbling from something like YouTube or Soundcloud. So be ready to clear some stuff out if you listen to music there.
