Features & Capabilities

This extension modifies the behavior of YouTube's auto-generated captions to improve readability. By default, YouTube displays auto-generated captions one word at a time as they are spoken. Better YouTube Subtitles intercepts the data stream and reformats the text to display full, complete lines instead.

Features:

Line-by-Line Rendering: Accumulates words into full lines before displaying them, removing the default scrolling/typing effect. Native Integration: Injects formatted subtitles directly into the YouTube player's text track system. Customizable: Supports all standard YouTube caption settings (font size, color, background, opacity) accessible via the player's settings menu. Privacy: Requires no external permissions or data collection; performs all processing locally within the browser.

Is Superior YouTube Captions Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Superior YouTube Captions requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
