Extension summary

Analyze keywords

As the summary above states, this is a simple open-source chrome extension written in vanilla JavaScript, CSS and of course, HTML, using the Chrome Extension format, although shortly there should be an extension for Firefox as well. I noticed a number of other Chrome Extensions that were similar but they all only worked on the homepage, so I decided to make one that worked all over the site, and didn't need the mouse to scroll before it would activate.

I spent a few days looking into how YouTube sets up the front-end of their website, so if anyone has any questions, feel free to shoot me a message. Also, if anyone would like to check out the source-code, or contribute to make it ever better (or fix bugs), check out the github page for this chrome extension : https://github.com/robertfrosty/shift-yt-optimizer .

Does what It says it does

En mi Opinion esta muy buena y cumple con lo que promete, Pero tengo problemas ya que al querer buscar una cancion que ya escuche no me saldria, entonces me tocaria apagar la extencion en esos casos. Pienso que podria ser mas util si cuando estuviera viendo un video ocultara todos los videos que salen en la parte derecha pienso que eso haria que youtube consumiera menos ram, no se pero gran extension.
