2023-01-04 F Only works correctly when it wants too. On various different websites videos play even though I have it set with access to all websites. It's frustrating because I have to pause the videos and sometimes multiple vids on single site.
2023-01-02 dennis Web Boost installed automatically. It also prevented iHeart radio from playing, even when I selected the play button for audio! I turned off web boost and now I can listen to music again! I hope turning it off doesn't create other problems as I am not very computer savvy.
2022-04-16 Corbin I have just installed the addon. it has performed the install well with no errors. More stars or less as I evaluate its performance.
2022-03-21 Justin I haven't had any issues with this app/extension. Its blocked trackers, websites that were trying to "allow access" or "give permission" as well as pop-ups. So far, it's done its job in my opinion.

2021-12-15 David Does not work on MS Edge. Web Boost is a MS extension. Why would this not work in MS browser? Vids play even B4 I scroll over the vid window.

2020-10-17 Mark The AutoPlay feature is easy to use and is intuitive.
2020-10-09 RalphAnthony-tony Works well when it works. For some reason, certain news related websites seem to disable autoplay. Will be looking for a better alternative.
