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
- (2025-07-11) Meep Meep: Can't find the scroll to increase/decrease volume.
- (2025-07-05) chrome book: The extension is the best in its category. However, I experience a small inconsistency. I have set a Ctrl + combo to speed up the video. In firefox, it works correctly, but in Chrome, the website gets zoomed instead of the video speeding up (Chrome perhaps doesn't allow TweaksForYT to intercept that hotkey).
- (2025-07-02) Songib akuratz: Atm, works as intended. I wish the subtitle could be improve like a "normal movie subs"
- (2025-06-18) TOP TECH: can you make me able to highlight and copy subtitle text and make second subtitle and make video preview on suggestion videos when i hover over the thumbnail by mouse
- (2025-06-15) Brandon: Incredible!!! Everything you could ever want and works so well and so easily and extensively configurable, I love it.
- (2025-05-08) Ilkka Kodisoja: This is the best extension to customize youtube with the most features compared to other extensions. The only thing I would love to see, a grid view for the search results and related videos in the watch page, would that be doable?
- (2025-05-08) WoeIsLee: Is there an option to make the youtube logo redirect to the subscription feed instead of home? If there isnt, can you make one? A previous extension had this feature and it makes navigating youtube a lot easier for me. Edit: Thank you that did it, and I dont have to disable this if I do want to look at the home feed.
- (2025-05-05) Maib Hassin: Works great. Other than a small issue with the grid layout on the home page there are no other issues so far.
- (2025-05-05) Telstra Roenssel: can show only progress bar option is the best
- (2025-05-04) Vova: So helpful
- (2025-05-02) Donnie Darsshan: I found a Bug , Next Chapter Shorcut Ket is Not Working ............. Previous Chapter Key is Working ......
- (2025-05-02) Max Miller: Works absolutely fantastically. My only inquiry would be about the rich grid layout. When using this to make more videos appear on the homepage, rather than adding videos it simply lines up the current six youtube loaded and leaves empty space remaining on the page. I'm not sure if this is a youtube related issue or something with the extension.
- (2025-05-01) Temp User: Really, really nice! I was just looking through the list of extensions, and -- for the heck of it -- typed in "tweaks"... not knowing that there were [such] things... then, came across *this*! I wish that I had found it yeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrsss ago! My favorite features are the "hide progress bar" [and controls underneath], whenever I'm capturing video [with that GameBar thing in Windows]; also, the fact that whenever I click Play/Pause (shortcut K), the annoying arrow and/or pause animation doesn't show up on the recording... and that "cycling" animation (the turning arrow) whenever something is loading, etc. Truly, a really nice extension -- one of my favorites! So many other features -- too many to list -- that I like about this extension! I have well over a thousand videos that I have to edit -- and this (the above features, as well as others not mentioned) have probably saved me weeks of editing time! Oh, yes -- and one other thing... the ability to hide those, what I call "preview tags" (the Next Up videos at the end of a clip); especially, when they would block part of the video [playing in the background] background before the clip has finished playing.
- (2025-04-25) White Paws: Any option to force youtube plays original audio instead AI auto-dubbed?
- (2025-04-23) Matthew Wilson: Just about everything. It's almost overwhelming with the options, so it'd be nice if the UI was a little more "clear" in the options. I noticed also that the option to hide watched videos from "related" (side bar next to active video) doesn't seem to work. But hiding content on home seems to work great.
- (2025-04-22) iahklu: Awesome app. Would be five star if there were options to tweak buffering.
- (2025-04-21) Bryan T: You can't really ask for anything more. Even more relevant now that youtube decided to blow up thumbnails so huge they only fit 3 to a row.
- (2025-04-15) iTheCoin: the extension is great, but i would love if the hide sidebar and hide related videos in sidebar would get fixed as they really screw up the video size and make a huge black screen on the bottom and right of the video. and it also screws up the seeking as it appears way above the actual seek bar because of the black screen thing.
- (2025-04-14) James leon: It's awesome. It makes everything run smoother and gives you some cool customization options. Only thing I’d suggest is fixing the bug where the queue won’t open when the first video in the queue is a short. Reply: Sorry, I meant to suggest a fix that bug from youtube. I know it's a bug on youtube, not from this extension. Many thanks for your reply.
- (2025-04-07) Cobie Khali: Please can you add a feature to make the progress bar thicker? Or not thicker but sensitive to show the video preview in a much wider area above and below?
- (2025-03-31) sambhav jain: Loved it but it freezes chrome after scrolling few short videos. Please fix the issue.
- (2025-03-28) Dan G.: Worked great for a long time, but with latest Chrome updates it now has major issues. Video size will not render correctly, sidebar won't show, controls aren't visible. Sometimes when you reload the page it will work, but then the problems come back. I've disabled it for now. Hopefully the developer can fix it.
- (2025-03-25) CrimsonReD: lightweight, works!
- (2025-03-22) Jack Piere: Hey I am just wondering whether it is possible to Turn off the screen of the video playing and just listening to the audio. That would be a great option! 😄🙂
- (2025-03-16) Nathan LaPoint: Gives you the control that you wish you had with your YouTube experience.
- (2025-03-12) Franck: cannot be used to block autoplay of videos opened in a new tab when you open the tab. For this you can use: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/enhancer-for-youtube/ponfpcnoihfmfllpaingbgckeeldkhle
- (2025-03-01) Sam: probably the best Youtube extension i have ever gotten and i have gotten a lot.
- (2025-03-01) Christine Kim: Literally the best YouTube extension you can find for Chrome.
- (2025-02-26) LaQuan Wunderman: Great tool! I know it's very small but can you add a feature that enable a button to enable/disable the automatic transcript scrolling when the video is in play?
- (2025-02-25) Anthony Tsoumas: Great Extension have used it for over a year now, just one question. I use WatchMarker for marking my watched video and i currently have over 25000 watch videos in that, my question is does TfY keep record of my watched videos in some sort of save file, so if i wipe my pc or clear browser history and i import a backup of TfY will it import the watched youtube videos as well so it can still greyscale the thumbs or will i have to start again?
- (2025-02-23) Nitty I: Thank you. this is a relief to have. please can you make a loop for playlists. I create a playlist of videos i listen to. The loop you have only has loop repeater on each individual video. Thank you again.
- (2025-02-23) リファイ久蔵: Great extension with many customization options. I can't seem to find an option to always display Live chat instead of Top chat. Is it possible to add that in the future?
- (2025-02-12) Nick Driver: So many tweaks and features! Awesome extension for an avid YouTube viewer
- (2025-02-12) Илья: I can't make same things with live video that i setting up to regular video ( i beilve it may be due to youtube changed link to live from youtube.com/watch?= to youtube.com/live/ so now this types of video are in seperate endpoints and plugin didn't initialising on this type of links i guess ) So now i can't even fast-forward or rewind video with keyboard, change speed or anything, only with manual moves by mouse. Only fullscreen with middle mouse button works. It seems this links are also in videos that not only live streams but also premiere, so this is a very big percentage of YouTube videos.
- (2025-02-02) Severin Sieber: amazingly powerful. the interaction zones especially make it super easy to control a video with only the mouse even when futher away, without needing to click on little buttons. the only thing missing would be shortcuts to set subtitle language (writing this here because I couldn't find where to put feature requests)
- (2025-01-30) Matra Nata: JUST PERFECT. ESPECIALLY THE MOUSE WHEEL FUNCTIONALITY.
- (2025-01-27) Maine One: superb! lots of features! 😢 I just wish it worked on m.youtube.com for mobile, even with just basic features like playback speed.
- (2025-01-26) washing machine: its a pretty good but there is one issue is the progress bar ball is not color like the line one but still good
- (2025-01-24) leafbelly: UPDATE: I had to come back and bump this up from 3 to 5 stars. This extension is magnificent, and the developer is constantly working to improve it. In my original review (which I've left below), my main complaint is with how complex it is, but trust me, after you've grown accustomed to the user interface, it's quite easy to use and packed with useful features and some settings I never even knew existed on YouTube. You can even add audio compression. Very nice. My only request is that the developer add a feature to disable the ever-present, super-annoying "continue watching" mini player PiP feature that totally obscures the bottom right of your feed or search window. I've tried using content blockers and just can't get rid of that annoying pop up. Otherwise, this extensions is great and worth chipping in as a patron if you have the extra cash to spare. Extensions this polished are few and far between. ORIGINAL REVIEW ... It's nice, but a little complex for what it is. A simpler layout/more intuitive interface would be nice. Honestly, it might be helpful if the default settings weren't so detailed but had an option for "advanced" settings. There's just A LOT to do in this extension right off the bat, and all I wanted was to scroll scrub. That's it. It took me a while of going through all the different settings, menus and "interaction zones" to figure out why it was constantly muting all of my videos Then I saw that the default setting is to mute sound when you left click. Seems odd as a default setting, but anyway, once you get the gist of the settings, it's fine. Overall, it's not bad at all. It's more convenient/useful than not.

- (2025-01-21) CoolAwesomeMiners: I've enjoyed using this extension for over a few years, but just recently, when I loaded up YouTube, the videos with the thumbnails on the home page are missing, despite that the ad page, the movies, the shorts, and the playables remain there. I have turned off this extension and the videos appear again, so I was wondering if that will get fixed? Otherwise, great extension!
- (2025-01-14) Clifford Terry: 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.
- (2025-01-13) Valentina Bardier: super plugin! thanks
- (2025-01-12) saral adhikari: One of the best extensions i have used
- (2025-01-11) Bad at Study: i've tried a lot of extension for youtube but this one is the best so far
- (2024-12-30) Jack Carver: It's perfect. I have been using this extension for more than a year now and it has a GODLY amount of options to tweak your YouTube experience. I have my settings exported and backed up so that this stays with me FOREVER. As someone who is highly distractible this has saved me SO much time. I highly recommend you try it out, and check out their Patreon if you feel the same way. 🙏
- (2024-12-23) Andi Vachon: This fixes everything. Absolutely essential extension.
- (2024-12-06) Nhan Nguyen: I've tried 5 or 6 extensions that enhance YouTube experience, and this is the absolute best. Very overwhelming when you first use it but that's why it's so powerful and you can tweak it to precisely how you like it. A few times I have some issues or suggestions, and the dev was extremely responsive too.
- (2024-12-04) Michael Belew: A little complicated at first. But once you get used to it, it provides so much power to your YouTube experience. Two features I would like to see added is the addition of a custom actions, one for to thumbs up or thumb down a video and the second a search bar for the actions. With so many actions it is sometimes hard to find what you are looking for. Thanks for the great extension.
- (2024-12-02) V. Z.: Where is the download option? I'm familiar with DLP. I use it via cmd batch with params. But I don't see it anywhere on the video tab.
