The M3U8 Video Player Chrome extension enables seamless playback of M3U8 format videos directly in your browser. Since most browsers lack native support for M3U8 streaming—a format widely used in live and on-demand video services—this extension bridges the gap by allowing users to watch M3U8 media without downloading additional software.

Designed for stability and compatibility across mainstream browsers, the extension enhances your online viewing experience for study, work, or entertainment. Recent updates include automatic navigation to the player when opening an M3U8 video URL, streamlining access to your streamed content.
