- Rated 4 out of 5by M P, a month agoThis rating would be 5 stars off the bat but I feel like this extension takes too many liberties with its default options that are both unnecessary and intrusive.
I did not realize the popup summary, for instance, was coming from this extension. It pops up instantly and blocks your view from the main page, the hover feature really needs a minimum hover time of at least ~50ms before blocking half the page with an intrusive preview.
Similarly the floating menu bar is something that makes Nexus far more annoying to navigate.
Also, why is there no option to either disable "this mod hasn't been updated in 5 months!" or at least an option to change the time frame. It's stuff like this that should be a no-brainer yet are conspicuously absent in the options.
I'm still going to continue using this extension now that I've disabled these annoying features but IMHO they should not be on by default, or at least, make it more transparent that they are coming from this extension.Developer response
posted a month agoHello, and thank you for the rating. The Image Pop-Up is instantaneous because it was designed that way, and I've kept it like this since it's proven very useful when browsing many mods or images. That said, you're right that an accidental hover shouldn't trigger it — I'll add a configurable delay in a future version.
About the outdated mod warning: this is a new feature, and I hadn't considered adding an option to disable it until now. I'll add that in the next update.
In general, most functions are active by default because many users install the extension without knowing how it works (or that it can be configured), and end up thinking something is broken when a feature is actually just disabled. Defaulting everything on makes the extension's value visible on first use. That said, you raise a fair point that some features might be intrusive enough that they should start off, and I'll reconsider this for a future release.
If you have more feedback, feel free to reach out on the extension's NexusMods page — I read everything there. Thanks again! - Rated 5 out of 5by HellPhantom, a month ago

Finally, a Nexus extension that feels like it was made by someone who actually uses Nexus every day.
NexusMods Advance is one of those extensions I installed for a few features and ended up keeping because it just makes browsing the site so much better. The mod tracking, faster downloads, image previews, shortcuts and all the small quality-of-life stuff add up quickly. Nothing feels unnecessary, it just removes a lot of the little annoyances you normally put up with on Nexus.
There is one thing that really needs fixing though. The infinite scrolling currently seems to forget the time filter you selected. For example, I can be browsing Most Downloaded This Week or This Month, reach the bottom, and when it loads more results it suddenly switches to Most Downloaded All Time. That completely throws off the list and makes infinite scrolling pretty frustrating when you're specifically looking at recent downloads.
Fix that one thing and this extension is pretty much perfect for me.
Seriously great work. This has become one of those extensions that makes the normal Nexus experience feel unfinished without it.Developer response
posted 2 months agoHello! And thanks for the 5 stars! I'm aware of those bugs with the infinite scroll—I actually found another one yesterday related to a very specific spot—and they will be fixed in the next update, 0.27.2. Thanks again. - Rated 5 out of 5by trav1295, 3 months agoBetter than using Nexus' tracking system for sure as it notifies you anywhere. Lots of great features to make the website look better as well
