This addons makes me remember the slow internet era where Speedbit Video Accelerator like software use to be used for smooth buffering. Thanks a lot. great addon. my first comment for a only solution to this buffering problem

It's great, we hope to add a quick option to change the quality.❤️🔥

The Audio Equalizer is the best i used from a Addon.

But the information from the individual switching regulator on the Audio Master Equalizer blocks the view of the master, a transparent window would be good.

I 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!

If you are having buffer issues , you should try this excellent extension

I usually never comment on add-ons but had to come here to say this is THE GREATEST ADD-ON I EVER USED! Thank you so much for this it's incredible and saved me frustration. My connection is great and I watch a lot of youtube and it's been acting out constantly buffering and pusing even at 720p for months now. With this add-on it's lightning fast.. 2k video loads so fast and completely it's amazing. I also love all the additional features built in.

NOTE to people. you have to actually enable it once you open the video you want to watch. at first I didn't think it's working at first cuz nothing was different, I didn't realize you have to go into add-ons extensions icon in top right corner and turn it on once you're on video page for new player to load. thank you works like charm

PERFECT

Surprised at how much faster this actually makes streaming videos. It is night and day difference and the fact that it is open source is icing on the cake. Thank you for making this!!

Tremenda joya. Lo unico que no me agrada es que no haya deblocking, es molesto en videos viejos. Estaria buenisimo una opcion para poder habilitar este filtro.

Damn this is an gamechanger, TY for you hard work!

Absolutely blew me away! I am still shocked by how much of a difference it makes. I was about to ditch my beloved Firefox because NOTHING could fix Youtube, but this saved my life. Thank you!!!!

Works great!

Really saved my life and made streaming videos so much easier. No more buffering issues and the feature to search up subtitles on the fly through the video player makes looking for subtitled videos a breeze. So far works on streaming sites outside of YouTube as well.

finally made an account just to write this, 100% recommend this extension! I tried it after reaching my breaking point of frustration with Youtube in general, and it's been absolutely wonderful. I was astonished when I turned the extension on for the first time and watched how fast it buffered, ever since I was little I thought buffering was simply perpetually locked at that snail speed youtube normally forces on you. Having it all buffer in one go is so much nicer on my sad potato of a PC. So far my only hurdles are that I would love to use the audio menu, but it's a little too overwhelming for me and I don't really know what to do with it; and that it makes using theatre mode on youtube a bit difficult. It's the way I watch all youtube videos, as it's almost fullscreen but without being too overstimulating, and allowing me to escape to the comments if a phobia comes up or there's just too much going on, but there's not a theatre mode option in the FastStream player UI, and I can't access the youtube player ui or use its hotkeys (as far as I'm aware, but I am a bit dumb), so it's a bit janky getting it to work when youtube just decides every now and then that it wants to go back to standard viewing mode. But that's just for a specific website, and this extension is still being developed and cared for. so please if you come across this in the extension store, give it a try! <3
P.S. sorry for the ramblings, my mental issues can make it a bit hard for me to come across clearly or in an organized manner

This has improved my streaming experience so much. No more stuttering, or videos playing for a minute before buffering restarts or crashes and requires a refresh. There are so many options for subtitles, resolution, playback settings (brightness slider is a personal favourite for dark videos) etc., to make your viewing experience best suited for you. Highly recommend this add-on, and thank you developer.
