від Користувач Firefox 11615950, 2 роки томуI was concerned by comments about the extension not realIy blocking the video stream-- just hiding it. I opened Firefox's Task Manager while streaming a music video on youtube, to see if toggling Music Mode on and off affected memory & power usage. Enabling Music Mode didn't seem to reduce the CPU or Memory footprint while streaming. Too bad.
If you just want to hide images, it's good. I use Music Mode in Chrome when I'm teaching. There are lots of options on what to hide & show.

оприлюднено 2 роки томуThank you for the review! I am glad that you use the extension and it helps you.
The extension does indeed fully block videos, reducing YouTube data usage. To verify, you can check the Firefox Web Developer Tools. Live videos are the only exception (as it is mentioned in the extension's description). The impact includes a decrease in CPU, memory, and a noticeable decrease in GPU usage (almost 0% usage), which directly affects power consumption. However, keep in mind that if you want lower CPU usage, you have to disable the "Always visible progress bar" option.
Hope this clarifies. Have a great year!

оприлюднено 20 днів томуThank you very much for taking the time to leave a review! I really appreciate it. - Оцінка 4 з 5від cjedm2, 20 днів томуThe description still incorrectly says that it blocks the video instead of only hiding it under the features section. I assume you missed that

оприлюднено 20 днів томуThank you for the review. In the features section I mention "Hides the video on YouTube and blocks the video, playing only the audio on YouTube Music". That's totally correct. The video is hidden on YouTube but on YouTube Music is blocked. I would really appreciate it if you could update your review. - Оцінка 5 з 5від Flamingo, місяць тому
- Оцінка 5 з 5від Ag, 2 місяці томуSo good. Every annoying little thing you hate about YouTube is suddenly just gone.
- Оцінка 2 з 5від Користувач Firefox 5693218, 2 місяці томуБалл снижаю за отсутствие обложки и превью для видео. Невозможно ориентироваться, если нет нормальной подписи. Поставил бы оценку 4, но нет русского языка. Так что только 2 балла. Лучше поставить что-нибудь получше.

оприлюднено 2 місяці томуOne of the main purposes of the extension is to hide thumbnails. So this is expected behavior, not a bug. If you prefer to see thumbnails, you can disable this option in the settings and they will appear normally. - Оцінка 5 з 5від Airazon, 3 місяці тому

- Оцінка 5 з 5від Morgân von Brylân, 3 місяці томуVery nice add-on, but I really wish it didn't reset all the settings every time it updates.
Edit: This has been fixed, so I am bumping the score from 4 to 5.Відповідь розробника
оприлюднено 3 місяці томуEdit: The issue has been fixed in the latest version of the extension.
Can you please confirm that you have installed the latest version of the extension and Firefox? The previous version had a change that would fix this issue. Additionally, when you say "resets all settings" do you mean the settings in the Options page? Can you please send me an email with more details to try to fix this problem? I would really appreciate it! - Оцінка 5 з 5від ocdmn, 7 місяців томуas per aug 28th 2025 it works as intended on windows 10. there's a catch tho, every time you restart firefox windows you have to "forget site" youtube then relogin. other than that it works as advertised
- Оцінка 3 з 5від Користувач Firefox 19204483, 8 місяців томуit seems the background autoplay is not working, the video is paused when firefox is in background

оприлюднено 7 місяців томуI checked the extension in Firefox and this issue didn't occur. Please check if there is a conflict with another extension that causes this issue. - Оцінка 5 з 5від Користувач Firefox 19301995, 8 місяців томуBeen desperate for an extension like this that actually works + is actively updated, tysm!!

- Оцінка 5 з 5від Користувач Firefox 18927143, рік томуPrevent loading/downloading unnecessary video when listening to music on youtube/youtube-music. Ideal for low bandwidth/limited quota internet situations

оприлюднено рік томуThank you for the review! You can do that very easily. You can de-activate the extension for all the tabs (either from the Options page or the popup) and then you activate the extension only in one tab (using the option Current tab in the popup).- 3 stars until I test it on normal videos and then on live videos tonight to see exactly how much bandwidth is saved. After installation, I do see YouTube showing the video and the ads are blocked. If the app limits 1 hour of YouTube streaming data to 200mb or lower I will change this to 5 stars. Edit: It's under 200mb but when I got back home and my phone automatically switched to WiFi it froze up YouTube and I had to restart the phone entirely to get YouTube to work again with the extension.

оприлюднено 10 місяців томуThanks for the review and for reporting the issue! I appreciate your feedback. That said, I don’t believe the extension is responsible for the YouTube freeze when switching to WiFi. Still, I’ll keep an eye on it just in case. - Оцінка 5 з 5від Користувач Firefox 18701567, рік тому
- Оцінка 5 з 5від Користувач Firefox 18177036, рік томуThe addon works beautifully. I think the default shortcut for activating it on current tab is ctrl+arrow up

оприлюднено 10 місяців томуSorry to hear it didn’t work for you. The extension is working correctly on my end, so if you’d like help, please share more details about the issue. I’d be happy to assist!Відповідь розробника
оприлюднено 10 місяців томуThanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately, it's not technically possible to add a 'next song' button in the notification through a Firefox extension. It's something that we cannot control and it depends on Firefox. Even if the extension is disabled, Firefox does not have a next/previous song button in the notification.
