Extension summary

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.

Pretty good extension, though I'd recommend a change, when you click the extension while being on Youtube, it gives you a bunch of features, but it doesn't display the option to 'Autoplay Next Short' which I think should be visible after you first click the extension logo extension. As a lot of people like me who don't generally check the comments of Youtube Shorts when we're eating and just scroll one short after another. So it would be really great if the option to autoplay shorts comes up when you click the extension rather than going deep into the settings and finding it.

Świetne rozszerzenie, jest praktycznie wszystko w nadmiarze, jedyna opcja która by się czasami przydała, a nie ma to audio only.
