2.1.0 update Because of the feedback about the add-on requesting permission to access data for all websites. Instead of setting up scripts for all pages, in this update the add-on inject the script into pages when needed. Anyway, the add-on still have to inject scripts into pages in order to change the output device.

If you still have any concern, I suggest using this add-on as a bookmarklet. This way you don't need to install any add-on to do the output changing.

big fan of this addon but now needs an update. no longer retains selected output in tab when moving to the next youtube video. requires a refresh of the tab and then reselection of the desired output to continue working. 5 stars if this gets fixed
