Review Summary
The 'YouTube Original Audio Track' Chrome extension is praised for restoring original audio by disabling intrusive AI-generated translations, improving video authenticity and user enjoyment. However, users frequently report it does not support Shorts, sometimes causes functional bugs with YouTube's miniplayer and queue, and experiences inconsistent reliability across devices. Additional desired improvements include manual audio track selection and a preferences menu. Despite its flaws, many find it a helpful tool to reclaim original video audio, particularly when YouTube's forced dubbing detracts from content quality.
Pros
- Effectively restores original audio track on YouTube videos, removing unwanted AI-generated translations.
- Generally improves the viewing experience by disabling automatic and inaccurate AI dubbing.
- Simple and easy to use, fulfilling its intended purpose.
- Some users report it works most of the time, making it a useful tool despite not being perfect.
- Supports multiple languages and helps users keep videos in original language audio.
Cons
- Does not work with YouTube Shorts, a limitation mentioned by multiple users.
- Can cause bugs such as interfering with YouTube miniplayer and video queue functions, leading to playback and queue issues.
- Occasionally fails to work or inconsistent performance on certain systems or browsers (e.g., Windows 11, Edge).
- Lacks features like manual selection of audio track and preferences configuration by language priority.
- UI annoyances like persistent pop-ups and context menu issues detract from user experience.
