Review Summary
The Plasma Integration Chrome extension is praised for enhancing integration between Google Chrome or Chromium browsers and the KDE Plasma desktop on Linux, working smoothly on Fedora, Debian, and other distros. Users appreciate its simplicity and effective desktop integration features. However, multiple users report issues such as browser freezing on startup, causing problems with Cloudflare captchas, audio volume reduction when new streams begin, and some UI problems in full screen video mode. It also requires proper native host setup to function correctly.
Pros
- Provides good integration with KDE Plasma desktop environment, especially Plasma 5.13 and later.
- Works well on various Linux distributions like Fedora, Debian, and Garuda Linux.
- Improves Google Chrome's desktop integration and functionality under KDE Plasma.
- Simple, fast, and easy to use.
- Preferred by users who want better Plasma desktop integration with Chrome or Chromium-based browsers.
Cons
- Causes browser freezing or slow startup, reported especially on Vivaldi with KDE Plasma.
- Breaks Cloudflare Turnstile captchas, resulting in infinite page refreshes.
- Occasionally reduces audio volume by 50% when new audio streams start.
- Incompatibility or errors on some Linux setups like NixOS + KDE6 and Debian without native host properly installed.
- Some UI or usability issues on full screen video mode (e.g., YouTube play/pause controls become unclickable).
