Video Control for Instagram by Arcus92
Review by Atlas
Rated 4 out of 5
by Atlas, 2 years agoLovely add-on but why change the UI from the default browser player? The default browser player had more options (like open video in new tab option that I used quite frequently) compared to this new UI that not only looks worse but is less functional as well. Having to find an empty pixel in between the buttons to be able to right click to see other options significantly dampens the functionality.

posted 2 years agoHi Atlas,
Thanks for you review. There were some issues with the native browser behavior, I'm unable to change. Using a custom UI, I have full control over the player. I want to include as many missing feature, like speed-control in the UI, but this will take some time. To make everyone happy, the next update will include a option to switch between the custom or native UI. You can choose whatever fits your needs.
I'll find some time this weekend to finish and release the update. Until then, have a good time :-)

- Rated 3 out of 5by MistaBizness, 2 days agoThis extension was a 5/5 until recently when it started doubling the audio. this review noticed the exact same thing: https:// addons. mozilla. org/ en-US/ firefox/ addon/ instagram-video-control/ reviews/ 2602103/ . If this is fixed, then it will go back to being a 5/5.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Evolved, 9 days agoI was pulling my hair out with the lack of video controls on Instagram and finally came across this extension. It's PERFECT!
- Rated 4 out of 5by mTsChris, 11 days agoThe extension is very good overall, however when opening videos from the search list, the sound is duplicated (playing both the one from the list and the one from the window that opens).
And when trying to open them in a new tab, I discovered that Firefox crashes (even restarting and reporting an error message) when opening about 3-5 windows.
NOTE: I tried opening about 25 tabs with video without the extension and had no problems. - Rated 5 out of 5by A.B., 17 days ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by SewerBeast, a month agoUsing this to prevent autoplay and add progress bar to videos. The only downsides are that it causes videos to kind of flicker as I'm scrolling, and I do have to manually unmute every video that I play. Overall, this extension is easy to use and makes instagram much more user-friendly.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Sins, 5 months agoHey dev, i have a bug to report on firefox with this extention, i have been using this extension from 2/3 months now at this point, but recently i have notice that while scrolling through reels, it shrinks the frame into more vertical and it does while watching the video over n over, please advise any fix or are you already aware of it and working on a fix, Thank you
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17785507, 5 months agoWas looking for a fullscreen viewer, I had no idea video seeker and volume control was a possibility in the browser. Which begs the question even more strongly, why oh why does Instagram still not implement these 'features' (bare minimum) to the browser experience?!
That aside, what a wonderful surprise, a complete game changer for me as I have myriad Accessibility issues. I wish I'd discovered this months ago! Thank you for this. - Rated 5 out of 5by Nyormensho, 6 months ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by MoldyCupcake, 7 months agoThis guy did the most necessary and user-requested thing that a billion-dollar company didn't know how to do or didn't bother to do.
It works very well and integrates very well into the Instagram UI, but I have the feeling that when the extension is enabled, RAM usage increases significantly.
However, I'll keep the extension disabled for now, hoping this will be fixed in the near future. - Rated 5 out of 5by kocero, 7 months agoThank you, a billion dollar company couldn't do this. You are my hero brother
