Reviews & Comments of Hola Video Accelerator chrome extension

doesn't do anything still buffers forever

I hate this VPN. I used paid version to use one website, which is not opening. It will open only after 20th or more try.

I think this extension works well, I watch a lot of streaming movies as well as youtube videos and it seems to download at least 3-4 min of movie to cut the buffering.

It is a good extension, but there's just one problem: It didn't work on Internet Archive videos! I couldn't stand the constant buffering in those videos! I used to enjoy those videos on the Internet Archive with very little to no buffering problems, but now I have to deal with it every single time! Aside from that flaw, I think it's OK and it can do better. :) EDIT: I take back what I said. It surprisingly works! I'm grateful! I watched something from the Internet Archive again and there was no sign of constant buffering!

Tried it on kaotic.com as I was having trouble watching some videos. Made no difference

i dont know if its luck or whatever but it loaded my video that was buffering really bad by a looooot i think it just depends on what kind of buffering you have

I recently started using and I am buffering less often as before.

didn't work for me

helps very well can be turned on and off and doesn't steal your info pretty good and its FREE!

I've tested it on a video which was streaming and it was streaming very badly and installing this extension made no change to that.

Makes no difference at all

worked to increase amount of video that will pre-buffer and got rid of all intermittent buffering issues I was having on various video sites.

Works good fro me.

I thought there would be no change but in fact the speed in the video increased I have a somewhat weak Internet Thank you very much

Very helpfull

I've tested video after video and its buffering system, turning it on a off. I've found that at minimum it's not doing anything and at worst it's actively throttling the buffering, making it go slower.

Sometimes it works

NO USE !!! IT might look over your Footprints when you surf the net. Just Don't download it to waste your net surf the net its usefull.

Loved it

Works well on me, wow!

It works Well. I like it.

kool

have it a few days now bin on movie sites that usually lag and guess what, they still do i find it no different to not having it at all. i have other extentions from hola that work great so maybe this 1 just a bad 1..cant win them all.

If you have problem with some specific website this WILL work. This extension is basically a VPN. With Net Neutrality gone, if you think your net provider is throttling you, then this app will work like a charm. Otherwise it doesn't do anything. It will NOT increase your bandwith.

works everytime

Don't waste your time with this! It doesn't do ANYTHING!!! The videos are still slow to buffer, no matter what website I'm on or how strong my signal is!

does what it says make loads go faster nice work guys

This thing is voodoo. Had a lot of issues with buffering although I had a good connection. Installed this and somehow the buffering's gone!

dosen't work

just wow....no buffer in YouTube ...i'm Satisfied

Hey guys. I actually figured out that this extension disables the DASH protocols for Chrome and allows a lot more of video to be buffered. Seems to work pretty well with several online streaming sites, video quality seems to be about the same as well, though I'm always capping at 720.

it actually works! don't know why some people gave it 1 stars

i think this extensions just giving suggestions to your brain if this will make you videos buffer faster.. haha

I was skeptical but thought I would try it and surprisingly it performed exceedingly well. Videos started straight away when they sometimes took quite a few seconds to load previously and playback had no issues at all. Big thumbs up for this one.

i liked

in my oppionion 4g fixed internet 30mbps download streaming is flawless with this app...work wonderfull

does not work

I saw a big difference

Works amazingly well! Mind blown.

doesnt work...

I can't really 100% tell if it even works or not.

no use

thx

worked grate and its free this is amazing

Can't say whether it works or not but Hola is doing a good job with all it's extensions.

There needs to be some actual information on how this extension works to truly evaluate

this extension is a complete hoax don't even bother

AWESOME!!

Great, very helpful

Great

Best :D

Its nice, But how does works?

Cool app but i wana know how it works.

wow just wow, its super cool

Well, how do i know if it is working? Might be effective on low speed networks, i believe. The team should explain a bit about their app.

loved it

it isn't working for any site accept youtube

This is only a placebo until someone can prove otherwise ! Be aware !

good

Another Great App from Hola! Works great on my Chromebook, Thanks Guys :D
