My previous issue with this app was that it didn't allow selective scrobbling to account for music on Youtube that gets missed. The devs solution to this is basically a button that turns on "scrobble everything" mode, which can only be turned off if you close the tab. Not exactly ideal.
On the other hand, some of attempts at reading metadata are baffling (ie: ignoring dashes or including (official music video) in the title.) This wouldn't be a big deal if not for the autolocking when the song is scrobbled, not giving one a chance whatsoever at correcting the incorrect title. This is compounded by the lagging the extension seems to experience and the fact that pausing the video seems to cause the currently scrobbled song to disappear.
I don't know how bad are other people at using software, but for me this works perfectly. I have a feeling others aren't checking the settings of the extension to enable/disable features.
