Kinda works...It will preload a video on youtube...I use firefox with win 10 desktop..problem is if you open a youtube video in new tab the extension is disabled....you need to physically enable extension button in order for the extension to engage/turn on...by this time the youtube player has already started..then once thats done and the extension takes over the audio keeps playing even when you pause video...could have been what I needed...will keep looking for another way to force buffer.

The GOAT

Been using this add-on for a few months now and it's actually amazing. I downloaded it to stop random buffering that occurs when playing some videos, but I use the additional features on occasion too. Thank you for creating this gem <3

Really great extension

This is my first review for an extension, and it’s well-deserved—5 stars!

I was trying to archive a TikTok video from a large creator who attempted to hide it during a scandal. No other creators reposted it, so I desperately checked the Wayback Machine and found a single saved instance. However, the video link provided by the Wayback Machine includes a WebArchive.org header, which complicates downloading due to all the handshaking going on between Wayback Machine and TikTok in the background.

When I tried using my go-to downloader, yt-dlp and various extensions, I kept getting the same "No video at the link provider" error messages (the downloaders don't have the javascript running all the behind the scenes authorizations that need to occur). After too many failed attempts, I resorted to screen recording the video. Just when I thought I’d have to settle for that, I discovered your extension and figured it couldn't hurt to try once more. Within 3 minutes, I successfully downloaded the video without any issues!

I’m thrilled to have archived this video instead of relying on a screen capture. Thank you for creating such a helpful tool! One tiny suggestion: the downloaded video file size was surprising (nearly a gig) for a 3 minute TikTok. I'm still overjoyed with the extension, but maybe a different codec is in order to reduce file size bloat :)

Really helpful when YouTube is trying to block me from using uBlock, the videos just won't load. Now after using FastStream, the videos load, just what I was looking for.

It actually just works.

Great but would love the option to disable shortcuts/key bindings all together.

Nice. It just works!

Cool add-on for enhance online video playback. I'd love to see "process video frame-by-frame (both forward & previous ways)" feature implemented in the future.

UI design is awful. More awful than default firefox cartoonish video player for toddlers. I Can't even find the pip button
