Overview
Product summary
Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.
Anticipation hides the video time and progress bar on Youtube and Twitch VODs, along with the times of related videos on the page, so the user does not know how much time is left in a video.
Anticipation is useful when watching sports, esports, or other types of competitions when the amount of time left might give away the result of the sport, match, or competition.
Examples of sports and esports where Anticipation is useful: Tennis, Boxing, League of Legends, Super Smash Brothers, Counter-Strike, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, DOTA
The screenshots shown show Anticipation being used with LoL, CS:GO, and Super Smash Bros videos.

At first, the app feels pretty useful, but it has a couple of bugs and areas that could be improved. 1. When I first open a tab, the extension seems to take a while to load completely, and sometimes the duration of YouTube videos is visible for just a couple of seconds (I’m not sure if it’s because my computer is old and I need to buy a new one, but that issue is still there). 2.- When I’m searching for videos using the search bar, hovering over a video thumbnail clearly shows the video’s duration... In that sense, the extension feels outdated/useless. I hope you can update the extension, please, taking these details into account and considering cybersecurity. Thank you.
is there any chance to disable the estimated time of the video when browsing the video list? i remember long time ago, when i use anticipation, the time of each video on the list is hidden.. but recently when i activate again, the time on video list is not hidden
Easy to use and great feature. Allows me to watch sports games like badminton without knowing the overall length of the matches ( which would tell you who is the winner after the first match)
This app is incredible and has improved my YouTube experience a ton. No more spoilers for my favorite FGC fights. Thank you!
Works but causes a massive amount of dropped frames Brave browser 2023
Doesn't seem to work with Twitch anymore. Youtube works fine
It is almost perfect, the only issue is that i have to remove the extension for it to go back to normal and then add it again later. Can you maybe add a on/off switch?
why does it show suggestion videos? is it only me or there is a setting that I am not using correctly?
A little restricted that it has no customisation options or no option to temporarily disable, but it works.
It's amazing on YouTube, but it's almost useless on Twitch, as you can see the progress bar, meaning you can roughly guess how much time is remaining. Is this fixable?
