Summary

IMPORTANT: The "Read and change your data on all the websites your visit" permission is misleading. This permission is used to fetch your cookie information so mpv is able to open private/paywalled videos. If you don't believe me, look at the source code.

Watch with MPV is a chrome extension that allows you to open your current tab in MPV, assuming you have it installed. This extension works with every URL that is supported by youtube-dl.

This extension makes use of a native host. The native host is required to be installed in order for the extension to work properly. This is because of Chrome's extension restrictions.

Use it with Chrome on Linux. It works great. It needs some setup though. Read the description carefully.

Fantastic extension. Works fine in windows without install python or other dependencies. You can configure a shortcut to open it without clicking in 'chrome://extensions/shortcuts' Is there a way to map (for example) ctrl +alt + click to open a link with this ext?
