Features & Capabilities

YouTube, but better. BetterYT adds the small features YouTube should have had all along. Like a mini player that floats while you scroll, dislike counts that actually show up, and a theater mode that doesn't hide chat.

Features: 🎬 Mini Player – Scroll down and keep watching 👎 Dislike Counter – See what YouTube hides (via Return YouTube Dislike API) 💬 Twitch-style Theater – Chat stays pinned during livestreams 📝 Side Comments – Comments beside the video, not buried below

All features are optional, enable only what you want!

User Reviews

Cool features. Works great. Could you possibly restore the Next button functionality that has recently been removed? That would be amazing.

Really great, however, recently it shows the mini player but it is now blank with no video.
