Full summary

Edit: This project has been abandoned as I no longer use the extension, and it probably won't work in the future. Please see my new extension that can close the tabs of any annoying extension or website: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tab-blacklist/dfjdhhihkdalipjoalkcalgecddabend?hl=en

The very popular Youtube extension Magic Actions is great, but it also opens many tabs every single time it updates. There is no option to disable this, so I made this extension to fight it.
It simply waits for the url 'https://www.chromeactions.com/index.html' to open, and closes the tab. It will work in the incognito window that Magic Actions opens as well, as long as you give it incognito permissions.

Update: Now also closes 'http://www.hotcleaner.com/clickclean_chrome.html'

With Mouse Controls for YouTube™ you can change the volume and seek with your mouse.

NOTE: I had to change the permissions for this extension to run on every website. Mostly because I want to have this controls on other websites that use the same video player as YouTube. If you don't want that, you can change the permissions in the extension settings in the extensions section and only allow youtube.com or whatever.

=== HOW TO USE ===

  • !!!IMPORTANT!!! Make sure to go to the settings page and setup the extension first thing.
  • After installing the app, refresh your YouTube™ page. The controls should be active now.
  • Hover over the player and use your mouse scroll to change the volume.
  • To seek click the middle button once, then scroll. this will move your seek forward or backward in time.
