- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18440407, 25 days agoWas nice when it was free. $5 is unjustifiable, not even a dollar. For greater good shit must be free.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14609268, a month agoSadly it doesn't work. Keeps showing "Unable to summarize this video. Error is: NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource." My recommendation is to just simply copy the transcript over to your ChatGPT tab. Also it requests access to some "Allizom.org" even if you were already signed in to everything.

- Rated 1 out of 5by nols, 5 months agoRequests to log in via Google only and asks to provide data to a site called allizom.org, which doesn't exist. Very sketchy, would not recommend.

posted 5 months agoSorry you felt it's sketchy but we don't use your credentials for anything sketchy. The login is to save your summaries for you if you re-summarize the same video and if you use the premium features like GPT-4.
allizom.org is Mozilla which is basically the creator of Firefox. This is because the login redirect back to the extension which is a Mozilla url. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18244647, 5 months ago

posted 5 months agoIt's working for a couple of weeks now. Sorry for the inconvenience!- Rated 1 out of 5by John Doe, 6 months agoLooks like this add-on got snatched up by some ad agency. Just peeked into the new version's source code, and surprise! They've thrown in a bunch of analytics, data collection, forced logins, and even slapped on some "premium features". Oh, and did I mention it doesn't even work? Save yourself the trouble and skip this one.

posted 5 months agoIt's not used or bought by any ad agency and the data is not sold to anyone or used for ads.
Login is to be able to save your summaries, stop malicious attacks and enable premium features like GPT-4 if needed.
Analytics is for tracking app usage across all users to be able to improve the plugin and provide better experience for users. - Rated 1 out of 5by Gregory108, 8 months agoAdd-on does not do what is expected. Returns zero-value timecodes or technical notation like "title", "timecode" and, at best, in one of the settings regime, returns a transcript.
PS: maybe a malfunction if YT changed something - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12795816, 8 months agoDoesn't seem to work. Either it has empty lines with time stamps or it doesn't do anything. Tried on many videos with clear English, where other plugins (on other browsers) were able to get the summary. This one was a hope it will work on Firefox but it doesn't.

- Rated 1 out of 5by PatrikZudel, 10 months ago// THIS APP Recently changed, it stopped working.
Hey! Really great app, well designed as well!
I only have one problem I'd say, from my experience everything works well except "Summarize video as a set of bullet points", it usually picks most bullet points at the beginning of the video so it doesn't do a good job of actually covering the full video. I suspect that this is due to ChatGPT being really poor at counting, dividing arbitrary lengths and similar tasks.
I expect that at the moment this is done through prompt engineering, I'd like to propose a different way that I feel like would be more effective.
Algorithm (Setting: 5 bullet points) :
1. Grab the whole transcript (example video length 10 minutes)
2. Divide transcript into (10 minutes / 5 bullet points) 5 chunks each 2 minutes long.
3. Provide the chunk to ChatGPT to summarize, in theory we could also add previous chunks for context but specify that we only want to summarize a chunk that is in quotation marks ("").
I think this would provide a more consistent summary of the whole video. Also, it would be great to be able to do one custom prompt without logging in, because google login doesn't work for me atm. Anyways, I really appreciate your work, good job! - Rated 1 out of 5by BillyCool, a year ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by jay, a year agoit needs access to a lot of data
doesn't even work
don't trust this.Developer response
posted a year agoI'm sorry you feel that way!
It only needs access to youtube website to add the button and execute the summarization and openAI website to use the active session to execute the summary.
It doesn't collect any data about the user.
For the second comment, was there a specific error ? Note that the addon won't work if chatgpt is down.
