Extension summary

Analyze keywords

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.

User reviews

I had this installed and planned to write a review but was busy and had not gotten around to it. Today, I was about ready to give up on making space bar not do scroll on youtube becasue every option I tried failed and that was when I thought about trying to see if this could do it (I had seen keybind options earlier while doing other stuff and figured it would not hurt). After setting this up to have space bar bound to pause it stopped the scrolling and I decided to finally take the time to review. I also gave the review an extra star (was gonna give it 4 stars since it works but did not have a way to resize or move the shorts from the subscription page (I want them either the same size thumbnails as the other vids or to have them at the top instead of in the middle of the page). Stopping the scroll issue is more than worth the extra star IMO and I will be putting word out that this has that feature.
