Review Summary
InstantView for YouTube™ is praised for its useful pop-out video player that improves YouTube viewing by reducing tab clutter and featuring a unique visualizer. Users appreciate the thoughtful interaction design and find it convenient for browsing. However, multiple reviews mention that it doesn't function well on the YouTube homepage or search results, and Google account sign-in issues limit interactivity (liking/subscribing). The developer's absence has left some bugs and feature requests unaddressed. Compatibility and usability issues affect some users, though overall, the extension is valued for enhancing YouTube experience.
Pros
- Provides a convenient pop-out video player allowing users to watch YouTube videos without leaving the current page or opening new tabs.
- Helps manage multiple YouTube videos efficiently, reducing browser crashes from excessive tabs.
- Includes a unique visualizer feature especially appreciated by EDM music fans.
- User interface is well-designed, distinguishing between clicking thumbnails for pop-out and titles for normal navigation.
- Generally well-liked by users as a useful tool for YouTube browsing and watching experience.
Cons
- Extension does not work properly on the YouTube homepage or after performing searches.
- Sign-in with Google account is problematic or blocked, preventing actions like liking or subscribing.
- Developer support seems absent or inactive, leading to unresolved bugs and missing feature improvements.
- Some users experience compatibility issues with playlists like 'watch later' and face bugs or crashes possibly caused by conflicts with other extensions.
- Lack of desired features such as commenting on videos within pop-out, customizable player appearance, and resizing video windows using mouse actions.
