A browser extension for Chrome and Firefox
Stop hovering thumbnails one at a time.
Wallreel is a browser extension that turns a page of thumbnails into a wall of video, already playing.
Before
With Wallreel
Thumbnails: the gallery as the site serves it. Hover one, wait, it's wrong, move on.
Wallreel: the same page, same search, every tile playing at once and muted.
Both panels are real screen captures of the same page and the same search, recorded one after the other. On the left, the site as it serves the page. On the right, the same page with Wallreel switched on. Nothing here is a mock-up, nothing is a re-creation, and nothing is sped up.
Your system asks for reduced motion, so neither panel starts on its own. The left panel loses nothing this way: on the real page those thumbnails are still until you hover one. The right panel is a still only here. Press play on it, or open the extension, where every tile on the wall is playing and the drift can be set to zero.
The wall has two speeds, and you set both.
Set how fast the wall moves.
The wall drifts right to left on its own. Drag the slider and it changes under your hand, from a slow crawl to a fast sweep. Pull it to zero and the wall stops dead, still playing. Press the button to pause the drift without losing your place.
The drift control from the extension, enlarged. This one works — drag it.
Set how fast the videos play.
Every clip on the wall runs at the same rate, and you pick it. Drop them all to half speed when a detail matters and the wall stops outrunning you. Put them back to normal in one click. The rate applies to every tile at once, including the ones that arrive later.
The clip-speed control, same scale. Pick a rate and watch the tiles change.
Four things, and they all work today.
It's there before you are
Click the toolbar button and the first tile is decoding in about a tenth of a second. No spinner to sit through, no sweep to wait out — the wall builds in front of you and starts filling.
~132ms to first playing tile
Every tile still knows where it came from
Click any tile and you land on that video's own page on the site, ready to download it, license it, or open it properly. Found it is only half the job; getting back to it is the other half.
47/47 tiles verified on Pexels, 17/17 on XVideos — 0 wrong links over 2 laps
You drive it
The wall drifts right to left on its own. Pause it with a button or the space bar. Set the drift anywhere from 0 to 150 px/s. Grab it and drag to scrub back to something you passed. Slow every clip to ½× or ¾× when a detail matters. The controls fade out when you stop using them.

It grows while you watch
The wall doesn't stop at what was on screen when you clicked. It keeps collecting as you go — one Pexels page went from 18 tiles to 86 while it ran. When a site fights the scroll and it can't reach further, it tells you the number it got instead of pretending.
18 → 86 tiles on a single Pexels page
If you want the one-line version: it's reader mode for video grids.
Six sites, with more to come.
Three of the six are adult sites, and the table names them like everything else. Want a site added? Email support@wallreel.com with the address. I add sites one at a time, after the wall has been tested on each one and worked.
| Site | Chrome | Firefox |
|---|---|---|
| Stock footage | ||
| Pexels | Yes | Yes |
| Coverr | Yes | Yes |
| Mixkit | Yes | Yes |
| Adult | ||
| Pornhub | Yes | Yes |
| XVideos | Yes | No Slideshow, not video |
| XNXX | Yes | No Slideshow, not video |
| Chrome gets all six. Firefox gets four: XVideos and XNXX show Firefox a slideshow of images instead of video previews, so there is no video for Wallreel to collect. That's how those two sites behave, not something we can fix — so on Firefox they decline right away and tell you to use Chrome instead. | ||
Everywhere else, Wallreel declines. It says the site isn't supported yet, leaves the page exactly as it was, and invites you to email me the site you wanted.
A site gets added when the wall has been tested on it and worked — not before.
Your browsing is your business.
The extension has no analytics, no account, and no database. It never sends anywhere a page you visited, a search you typed, or a video you watched. It asks for two permissions, both for the payment library: local storage to remember your license, and access to extensionpay.com to check it.
- No analytics in the extension. Nothing measures what you open, hover, or search.
- No account. There's nothing to sign up for.
- No backend behind the extension. The wall is built in your browser out of the videos the page already loaded.
- It activates on the six sites above and nowhere else. Everywhere else it declines and leaves the page alone.
- The Firefox build declares "no data collection" to Mozilla, and passes their addons-linter with zero errors.
- This website keeps a count. The extension reaches it twice, ever: on the day you install, it opens the welcome page, and that visit is counted like any other; and once your free trial has run out, pressing the toolbar button on a supported site sends one empty request that says a trial ended and nothing else. Neither one carries anything about you. The server records that a page was opened, that a download started with which browser, and that a visitor copied the link for the other browser. No cookie, no script, no stored address, no identifier of any kind — nothing that can tell one visitor from another. The counts are held at Upstash; your browser never contacts it. The full list is in the privacy policy.
Seven days free. Then $5 a month.
The first seven days are the whole product — every site, every control. No email, no card, nothing to sign up for; it starts the moment you install it. After that it is $5 a month, paid from inside the extension, and you can cancel it any time from the same place.
Chrome gets all six. Firefox gets four: XVideos and XNXX show Firefox a slideshow of images instead of video previews, so there is no video for Wallreel to collect.

Chrome takes four steps
- Download and unzip
- Open chrome://extensions
- Turn on Developer mode
- Drag the folder onto the page
The full guide, with pictures, opens when you click.
Using Chrome too? Open this page in Chrome and follow the four steps there.
Firefox is one click
The Firefox build is signed by Mozilla, so there's no developer mode and no folder to keep — click the download, confirm the install, done. Firefox will also keep it up to date on its own. Worth knowing before you choose a browser: Firefox gets four of the six sites, not all six.

Why it's not in the Chrome Web Store
Three of the six supported sites are adult sites, which I don't believe a storefront wants to carry — so I haven't submitted the paid build. That's their call to make, and it's a reasonable one for a storefront. It means Wallreel is distributed from this page instead, which costs you the four steps above and costs me the easy install. I'd rather tell you that plainly than have you find out at the Developer-mode toggle.
