Annoying auto-playing videos that slow down web browsing, consume bandwidth/data, and drain battery life
1. Extension installs and auto-pauses are enabled by default. 2. User browses websites normally. 3. Content script detects video elements via MutationObserver and pauses auto-playing videos. 4. Background script intercepts video media requests and blocks them. 5. A 'Paused by McAfee Web Boost' banner appears over stopped videos. 6. User can click banner to play specific videos. 7. Popup shows stats (videos stopped, data saved) and allows managing whitelist. 8. User can whitelist specific sites or toggle the feature globally.

- 目标用户
- General web users who want faster browsing and reduced data consumption / Users on limited data plans or metered connections / Users annoyed by auto-playing videos on news/content sites / Battery-conscious laptop/mobile users
- Code is minified/webpack-bundled making exact line-by-line analysis harder, but core logic is clearly visible
- Could not verify if McAfee's external security products (WebAdvisor) affect login status via externally_connectable, though no login flow is apparent

No premium, subscription, payment, billing, upgrade, or purchase references found in the codebase. The extension is completely free with all features available. 'License' hits refer to the EULA (End User License Agreement), not paid licensing. 'Pro' keyword hits are false positives from Czech locale where 'pro' means 'for'.

- The extension has no login, account creation, or authentication functionality. All data is stored locally using chrome.storage.local. The extension works immediately after installation without requiring any credentials. The only external communication is EULA acceptance tracking to home.mcafee.com, which does not require user login.
For some reason, it doesn't work on nationalgeographic.com. Everywhere else, but not there.
It just modifies your default search engine. When you are browsing the web an annoying bar appears below the adressbar and is gone in a few seconds. What is fricking annoying if you want to press an button on an website and the button shifts down.
when i am using microsoft team This program freezes my picture while in a meeting.
is this a virus?
tHIS APP PLACED AN AD FOR THEIR SOFTWARE ON MY SCREEN. THERE WAS NO X OR CLOSE BUTTON. USING TASK MANAGER TO KILL THIS APP CAUSED IT TO REBOOT THE SAME AD. THIS IS 100% UNDENIABLY ADWARE, WHICH IS IRONIC GIVEN IT'S MCAFEE. DELETE THIS FROM YOUR APP STORE, AND STOP SUPPORTING MCAFEE PRODUCTS. THAT'S THE ONLY THING T0 DO. ALTHOUGH I KNOW GOOGLE IS MORE GREEDY THAN SENSIBLE -_-
Tenho uma sugestão: poderia permitir inserir exceções que eu não desejo que sejam interrompidas. Por exemplo: participo de reuniões no google meet e toda hora tenho que ficar liberando o vídeo dos participantes.
По моему лично мнению до 5 звёзд ещё далеко сам по себе McAfee не плохой а вот расширение McAfee® Web Boost так себе да и до совершенство самого McAfee далеко !
Останавливает видео, идеально)
lado positivo: pausa los videos de anuncios. no hay que pausar los anuncios. me ahorra internet. lado negativo: te pausa videos inocente, no pausa los anuncios que tiene anuncios, cuando voy a escuhar algo, lo pausa. hay videos que desearía que pausara, pero no los pausa. conclusión: si lo recomiendo, pero si trabajo como no es, o si te pausa videos inocentes, no la uses
Never stopped video from loading just pauses them, usually after the video has started a few seconds Now today websights are constantly switching it off so basically it has become worthless.
