## Description

**Random YouTube Video** adds a native-looking **Shuffle** button to YouTube channel, video, and Shorts pages, letting you discover and play a truly random video from the current channel. YouTube dark mode is supported for a seamless experience.

Customize shuffling with options to ignore Shorts, filter videos by upload date or ID, choose recent content, open videos in new tabs, or create playlists from multiple random selections. Anonymous backend technology helps popular channels shuffle quickly, while accessibility settings and ongoing performance, privacy, and reliability improvements make the extension easy to tailor to your viewing habits.
