Description from store
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.

Latest reviews
- (2024-07-16) Adam VanOort: As of 7/26/2024: the ad "mute" function doesn't seem to be working for me anymore. As of 6/7/2024 YouTube flags this extension as an ad-blocker and doesn't play any videos unless the extension is disabled. Will change back to a 5-star review once this is resolved, because this was working wonderfully for me until today.
- (2024-04-10) Kevin Lavoie: Nic,e just do yourself a favor download it
- (2024-04-02) Илья: feature ideas: hide end screen when cursor is not on player; automatically disable annotations;
- (2024-03-26) Nika Nakaidze: Hi buddy i just installed ur cool tweak on my chromium version 122 i was on chromium 86 but its engine is long time outdated so i use new chromium. Bro can u hide shadow around player-bar? also can u make option to hide scrollbar without turning on Expanded Cinema Mode
- (2024-03-21) Usuario Común: NICE
- (2024-03-19) Shelby “Faranae” Phillips: A wonderful tool, but unfortunately the one feature I wanted it for (disable the "Video paused. Continue watching?" auto-pause) doesn't currently work on my system. I've disabled other addons that may be conflicting just in case, to no avail.
- (2024-03-03) Warrior: Top-notch, well-coded, doesn't slow things down, great features that just work
- (2024-01-18) R. Daneel Olivaw: Top-notch, well-coded, doesn't slow things down, great features that just work. Please support good authors like this, as always, so they're incentivized to keep maintaining and creating thoughtfully-considered and -crafted software. As usual, just looking over negative reviews with zero useful feedback you can tell people are trying to use the cudgel of bad reviews as tech support, too often for problems they caused or which are the result of learned helplessness instead of doing a little digging/work. They never go back to improve their rating whether they figure it out themselves or the plugin author helps them, both of which merit making it right. Maybe the system needs to be improved to follow up with users given some are so self-focused they ruin things for other, but the responsibility should still be on the users to do that at the end of the day. At least you can still mark it as unhelpful to derate those who put no effort in and expect everyone else to meet them 100%. Grumble grumble...
- (2023-12-31) L. Maria: incrível, oferece diversas possibilidades de personalização.
- (2023-12-29) Amine Rassam: thank you so much
- (2023-12-27) Ale Kuz: Really good extension, but it DOES NOT work in popup floating window. PLEASE FIX
- (2023-12-15) Juraj Michalička: I most like audio compressor. On linux I use pulseefect, but on mac isn't any this, only hijack by 70euro. This solve my problem with too silent or too loud videos.
- (2023-12-11) Nya “Lilith”: So many options you didn't know you need until you installed it. Going back to default Youtube is impossible now.
- (2023-12-05) Sorawut Lertplangsanti: The best YouTube customization so far.
- (2023-11-27) MNI S: I set a keyboard shortcut to copy the video URL but it keeps adding [yt-dlp] before the URL for some reason, I don't know why or how to remove it, if someone know plz tell me :D
- (2023-11-24) Aaron G: Outrageous. One of the best utilities of any type I've seen!
- (2023-11-24) Paul sir Duke: I cant believe I've found you, I've been looking for an extension like this for ages. 1 000 000 / 10
- (2023-11-13) Nicemann: Finally! I am super glad.
- (2023-11-04) Asim Ali: Good extension with lots of options working properly, Thumbs Up Developer, Need extension ui improvement. Please add youtube themes color changer like enhancer for youtube. you can use below github project https://github.com/RaitaroH/YouTube-DeepDark
- (2023-11-03) Apurba Haldar: I'm using this to take clean screenshots, and hiding player controls just works great! Thank you
- (2023-10-31) Lucinda Ireson: The function to automatically click the 'skip ad' button is no longer working. You have to click it manually or wait. These sponsored messages (they're not even ads) just stay there until I click the button or the standard time elapses. However, since YouTube has got tough on adblocking, it's better than nothing. At least some features (such as muting ads) still work. I hope the makers of this extension carry on working to circumvent these measures imposed by Youtube.
- (2023-10-24) André Versluis: Inderdaad een juweel. Onmisbaar voor YouTube kijkers. Alles in een!! Tweaks en uitbreidingen van de YouTube player. Alle andere extensies voor YouTube kunnen de prullenbak in. A gem indeed. Indispensable for YouTube viewers. Everything in one extension!!! Tweaks and extras for the YouTube player. All other extensions for YouTube can go in the trash.
- (2023-10-21) Дакфолз: Everything is fine, but I lack the ability to add a device for normal page scrolling up and down in the interaction zones section, please add this. (I seem to have looked at all the settings and it’s not there)
- (2023-10-18) Metazoxan Dexall: Interesting extension. One thing I think is really missing is being able to see the dislikes on a video. Be nice to have that in a single extension than needing a seperate one just for that.
- (2023-10-14) Abdullah Yazbahar: It's not choosing the Enhanced bitrate quality on youtube. I have to go everytime to do it. Can you fix it?
- (2023-10-11) Za'id Ryalto: This is a great app, thanks to the Devs involved.
- (2023-10-09) Long Tran: Masterpiece...
- (2023-10-06) Huang Guan: this is a greate extension for all of youtubers thanks developer create this amazing tool:)
- (2023-10-03) Stuw R: Very good, but I'm having a problem with subtitles sometimes being forced onto 4 lines with the last word of each line having its own line. Seems like the width you are allowing the subtitles is slightly too small
- (2023-09-25) Nishant Goswami: over useful than i thought just outstanding
- (2023-09-24) Yoga Brian: great extension with the cinema mode feature and lightweight too
- (2023-09-22) Skyzi: i literally only installed this just to remove those stupid yoodles trying to recommend me random things i dont care about does its purpose 100/10.
- (2023-09-14) Ryan: Would love to be able to use this on Youtube TV too. Would be cool to use this on any videos in browswer like crunchyroll, whatever that's playing on a site.
- (2023-09-13) Improved Tube: hey again! won't you join us? :D ( Whole different dimensions of questions arise then in favor of the users. In other words, why do people opt to work lonely 'on their own', while never reaching the best? Better to help one project, that already covers a half of potential uses, than making another that might also reach far and cover unique usecases, yet hardly farther, because it might just take more than the limits of a single developer (many hours & years) (nor do users wish to learn different GUIs. The "pain" of combining GUI's is actually vital - more of a challenge and meaning than what each develeoper does alone otherwise)
- (2023-09-13) Djonatan Derrington: Пожалуй, это единственное расширение, в котором не требуется перезагружать страницу, чтобы заработала функция "отключения автовоспроизведения в плейлисте". Хотелось бы, чтобы добавили кнопки в видеопроигрыватель и в область плейлиста (рядом с дефолтными ютубовскими кнопками "включать повтор плейлиста" и "воспроизведение в случайном порядке") для включения зацикливания видео и для отключения автовоспроизведения плейлиста соответственно.
- (2023-09-07) Matt Stilwell: This program doesn't work whatsoever. I got it to get rid of the play button in the middle of a youtube video, but the program doesn't do that.
- (2023-09-07) Cena Bale: Thank you
- (2023-09-05) Егор Кларк: This is the best youtube extension for me so far. Unlike 'Enhancer' has more flexible adjustments have to do with speed, volume, rewinding broken into sections of the screen.
- (2023-09-04) Fuji Lives: I've used a TON of addons over the years, over a plethora of browsers, and most just plain get it wrong. This add-on gets it RIGHT! The menus, the options, everything is really pretty and quick to setup and run with. Clearer text on the initial main menu buttons could help (Player Controls & Video was one of the last things I clicked when toying with the addon for the first time!), but other than that, I have ZERO complaints as of yet. Great addon and glad to have it available! (I found this looking for a keyboard shortcut remapper, I'm currently using the experimental keyboard features and they are working great!)
- (2023-09-01) Ves Saphia: I've no idea how this extension has five stars. Automatic full screen works the one time ... for videos or as long as you keep clicking videos on the sidebar under the video rather than using the homepage, after that, YouTube's video full screen ... (I kid you not) only works ... on the YouTube homepage, not on videos themselves. Oh no, it will (dys)function as if it's in full screen but it won't be in it i.e. you may still have to click the middle X or press escape as if you're in full screen while watching a video but not because you are in full screen (video). Tried in incognito, so no, it's not caused by another extension. This is besides the fact that it, by default, makes the user go into settings to e.g. get the mouse wheel to stop fast forwarding videos and changing playback speed rather than having a way to disable all features and select the ones you want, I mean because who knows what else is wrong and needs to be disabled? Oh, and instant full screen can and will cause all of the video thumbnails on the homepage to disappear. Thanks for getting my hopes up about an automatic YouTube full screen that actually works ... for a moment before it immediately breaks.

- (2023-08-28) Sasha Guryev: had a lot of issues with Improve Youtube and this is much better alternative
- (2023-08-26) oTheCendaCZo: Can't imagine using yt without it nowadays
- (2023-08-23) Yusuf Pırıldar: I love both of your extensions, thank you!
- (2023-08-22) Narendra V: Cinema Mode having issues on edge, It is not aligned properly at the bottom which is not allowing to click the seekbar or volume. It is getting fixed if we zoom at least to 125% but anything below that is causing issues. Otherwise, a great extension. Just that the cinema mode is having issues every other week. Hope this gets fixed. Edit: The custom CSS fixed it. Thanks :)
- (2023-08-22) 심기동: Expanded Cinema Mode ► Hidden Header error!!!
- (2023-08-22) Narendra V: The Expanded Cinema mode suddenly stopped working today, it is not covering the entire screen instead it just the default YouTube cinema mode. This is the single most important feature for me. I'm on the Microsoft edge if that helps. Otherwise, amazing extension loaded with features.
- (2023-08-19) Konrad Stobierski: thank you for this fantastic extension!
- (2023-08-19) Volkan Yılmaz: harika bir eklenti. tavsiye ederim.
- (2023-08-19) Stranger: Плеер на Ютуб в режиме кино больше не разворачивается в полное окно браузера, вчера всё работало, пробовал переустанавливать расширение не помогло
