Runs flawlessly and I've noticed an average CPU fall from 20% to 5% (tested Youtube video was in 1080p). There's a similar add-on for Firefox but I always opt for a script when available. Once installed you can check at www.youtube.com/html5 that indeed 'WebM VP8' and 'MSE & WebM VP9' have been disabled (I'm running Firefox 42 and all encoders are supported natively).
My system runs fine without this script but : 1- Why use more CPU when less is possible? 2- Not being a techie I wonder why Youtube encodes in VP8/VP9 when H.264 is so much better : thanks if you have the answer :)
CPU divided by 4!
