Users appreciate Youtube VR as an effective open-source Firefox add-on that allows watching 360-degree YouTube videos without downloading and serves as a better alternative to official apps. The latest update improved its user interface greatly. However, multiple users report it does not work well with some VR headsets like HTC Vive and Oculus Rift, has some bugs requiring page refreshes after activation, and exhibits projection issues causing visible video edges. Additionally, the add-on does not yet support mobile Firefox, which limits its reach. Pros
- Provides a functional alternative to the official YouTube VR apps, which multiple users found unsatisfactory or 'crappy'.
- Allows watching 360-degree YouTube videos without downloading them, which users appreciated as a unique feature.
- Open source nature is appreciated by users, providing transparency and potential for community improvements.
- User interface improved significantly in the latest update, enhancing user experience.
- Works well on desktop Firefox as a VR video viewer, with many users reporting it works 'like a charm' for supported videos.
Cons
- Does not work properly with some VR headsets like HTC Vive and Oculus Rift; multiple users reported videos not displaying in VR headsets as expected.
- Some bugs persist, such as issues where clicking the add-on icon requires a page refresh before the cursor works again.
- Video projection/conversion issues, like visible edges and bending at video box joins, affect video quality and immersion in VR.
- Limited compatibility with certain 360 videos; not all videos work correctly, impacting usability.
- Lack of support or version for Firefox on Android/mobile devices, which users would like to see.
