Its an ok player, but its not designed well:

- No stop button

- No way to easily stop buffering

- Auto pops open the mini player when you navigate away from the page

- Autoplay being agressively enabled by default.

All of these make it like an nightmare ex-spouse situation where all you want to do is have it stop draining your bandwidth to play videos but it won't let you go.

It may be designed well for Google, but not for users:

- need to right-click twice to get picture-in-picture on macOS

- obnoxious (and often unskippable) pre-roll and embedded advertisements

- no download button

- no audio play feature

- background play is unreliable on iOS

- unstable back end API that keeps breaking playback in VLC
