Review Summary
Users commonly praise the extension for saving time by redirecting YouTube links directly from Google search results and reducing ads. Many found it through Reddit and appreciate its solution to Google's recent undesirable behavior of opening YouTube videos embedded within search results. However, some users report issues such as the extension not redirecting videos opened in new tabs, causing navigation loops when going back, and occasional failures to redirect. Overall, it is seen as a helpful tool with minor drawbacks.
