Browser extension for YouTube (including embedded videos), YouTube Music, and Google Drive videos

100+ features available! Features are turned off by default - explore the extension's Popup and Options page and enable the ones you need. After installation, reload all YouTube pages!

Fast forward, rewind, navigate chapters, control volume, speed, and more (50+ actions) with an unlimited number of custom mouse controls (hover over different areas of the video and use mouse wheels or buttons) and keyboard shortcuts. Use global keyboard shortcuts to control active video from any app.

Turn on the "Auto Gain" feature to balance sound levels across different videos by making quieter videos louder. One of the audio channels is quieter or missing? Just turn on the "Mono Mix". Use the "High Pass Filter" to make muddy audio with too much bass clearer. If the volume is still too low, there is a "Boost Volume" feature.

Make player controls always visible, hidden, visible only on mouse hover, or show only a minimalist progress bar. Auto-hide them in less than the default 3 seconds. Customize volume and time display and base time on the current playback rate.

Giving even 5 out of 5 is a crime when it wouldn't even begin how great this is. Wish every application was like this add-on.

Wish there was a more direct way of submitting feedback to know if an issue has been identified or sent before. Only support is email, and I haven't gotten back to yet after a few weeks. Apparently general support is a perk of the paid Patreon tiers, that's... weird. All this to say the Playlist Duration is hidden on YouTube's playlist pages after a recent UI update. Sucks to have to request a fix like this in an extension review, but I legit don't know where else to take this. (Not spending $1 just to say "feature broke, plz fix") My qualms with lack of support and the code not being open-source aside, this works much better than "Improve YouTube!" imo. (Better not let the dev for that hear this, or they'll get real mad)
