Buffer First, Watch Video Later

It wasn't as automated as I thought it would be. Before I searched for this, I was looking for something that can do everything this can, plus the ability to extrapolate an approximate amount of time it would take for an entire video to load, then once it calculates that it will take less time to finish loading the video than to play through to the end, it will automatically play it, possibly even slowing down, within limits, during unexpected connection drops for a more streamlined experience, although, ideally, it would take an average of the entire experience, not excluding outliers and not "rolling", so that deep connection losses will still be taken into account and will be balanced out by the faster periods of connection, or maybe it should use a completely different system of averages entirely, favoring higher connection speeds, but still taking into account the much lower speeds, but a simple and not "rolling" average will probably be better anyway; although, due to RAM limitations, I now see that this would only really work for very short videos, as, even if a computer has like 70 gigabytes of RAM, no web browser would possibly let all of that go to a single browser tab for concerns of malicious intent, even for trusted websites such as YouTube, as browser extensions would still be able to utilize that, although, I guess maybe you could set a desired buffer length, where it'll do all I said for only that buffer, which will still result in more pauses than ideal, but will still be better than leaving YouTube to do its YouTube thing. Despite my initial, but brief very disappointment, and steep, if short, learning curve for those that have not thought ahead as much as I have, this product has immense value to me, so I will continue using it, until my usually great internet connection resolves itself. Also, it's free. Edit: After further use, it seems like the extension completely brakes down on videos that use chapters; it only works for the first chapter and not for the others, and the playhead following the current end buffer point is very annoying, and it seems to snap to the end buffer point at random intervals, although further testing is required to validate this hypothesis.

It does not work.
