Review by Waifu Connoisseur
Rated 5 out of 5
by Waifu Connoisseur, 7 months agoI was having trouble consistently streaming anime on my go-to anime website. The recent influx of traffic, along with the servers it used (on most websites) has said servers even more strained. Pretty much across the board on all anime streaming websites, it was looking bleak for me, and others were sharing this experience.
Tbh, I did not think this add-on would do much, but holt-moly it is a complete and utter game changer! Not only did it boost the buffering speed more than 10x over, it actually SHOWS the 'true' amount that has been buffered on the bar, like videos used to.
Years ago, buffering bars used to show the 'true' progress that had been made on the progress bar of whatever you were viewing (like a darker grey bar that proceeds past the, what is usually, red progress bar). However, as of recent years, this stopped functioning like it used to.
It would show the progress by about a minute, then halt, whether it was buffering further, or not.
This extention breathes new life into streaming, and I have no idea how it is not more popular. It shows the 'true' progress of the buffering on the 'play'/'progress' bar, and it is WAY faster.
A few tips I found out is that you can hide the progress bar so it isn't always there by triple-clicking the mouse on the window of what you are streaming. Another is that it is set to save & download what you are streaming into local storage. If you don't want storage being clogged up by numerous videos, turn this off in setting using the cog wheel in the player.
Finally, when you are wtahcing/streaming a video, this may seem obvious, but make sure to go into your extension list and turn on this extension, it'll be obvious when you do as the UI completely changes.
This is a full 5/5 stars from me, I legit made this account to review this add-on. Not only does it load videos uber-fast, but it has a vast amount of settings you can change, so it's exactly to your liking. I love all of the hot-key options. I have only just got this, so there are likely more wonderful additions to this add-on, but I simply haven't discovered them yet.
There is literally no reason not to get this as far as my logic goes, no more stagnant buffering on anime streaming websites, it's now a thing of the past. Of course, I'll update this review if anything changes.
The stagnant buffering was especially awful today, hence why I searched for something just like this.I saw "6x streaming speed" and took it with a grain of salt, but it exceeded my expectations. Truly a wonderful add-on. Kudos to the developers, and thank you for enhancing my straming experience online! :) 10/10!!! I must make a post and share this with others!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 10238867, 6 days agoCool add-on for enhance online video playback. I'd love to see "process video frame-by-frame (both forward & previous ways)" feature implemented in the future.

- Rated 5 out of 5by StellaNova, a month agoPERFECT addon! THANK YOU Andrew!!! Note to the author: I noticed today that FS no longer works on YT.
But on the FS website I discovered your reply to a user (who discovered the same problem): "Google changed some code. a fix is underway."
SUPER, if you solve the current problem, THANK YOU!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13115151, 2 months agoIt is a great add-on to optimize the visualization of YouTube videos but for several weeks it gives error 'error when loading the video' and it is not possible to visualize them, I hope that an update will solve the problem.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18164338, 3 months agoGenius app!
I was just looking for some solution against loading a small buffer when watching movies, because due to the overloaded network sometimes the buffer does not have time to load enough video, and there are constantly slowdowns, but this player makes just an amazing move, loading the entire movie at once! Perfect! - Rated 5 out of 5by manux, 3 months agoFantastic work! It does everything it says it does. It works on all kinds of sites, and it definitely makes the videos load faster most of the time. The subtitles work well. It has the option to search in open subtitles; I've only used it once, but it did work. I honestly only have good things to say; no complaints here.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Wolf, 4 months agoI was so happy to have found an add-on that would let me stream videos, but for whatever reason, no buffering is happening, and no amount of reading through instructions is solving the problem. In short, it doesn't work.
