Using this extension you can also control page layout as well as the player behaviours like: 1. Stop player from buffering media 2. Change quality to HD (HD2160p, HD1440p, HD1080p, HD720p) 3. Prevent the player from displaying annotations 4. Prevent the player from starting the next track when the current one is finished For more info please visit: http://add0n.com/control-center.html Logs: 0.5.1: adds a new feature: Buffer video without starting it 0.5.2: the popup is now displayed when there is an open YouTube page. No buffering functionality is improved. 0.5.3: Supports YouTube history

(2023-10-29) Игорь Орлов: no working
(2023-06-13) Mark: When playing any YouTube video in MS Edge 114.0.1823.43 (Official Build) (64-bit) this application "YouTube Control Center" creates, when you hover the mouse over the image, half black appears on the video screen at the bottom of the video. When "YouTube Control Center" is disabled, this bug disappears. Request to the developers of "YouTube Control Center" to solve the compatibility issue with the MS Edge browser. In the Google Chrome browser, this application works without problems.
(2023-03-20) Rafael Zuhe Molina Rondon: you can't buffer whole videos with this
(2023-02-15) Eleanor U: Did what I wanted to initially but caused chrome to crash eventually when watching youtube videos or immediately every time i opened the extension options from the toolbar.
(2023-02-05) Yash Tamakuwala: Doesnt work. I wanted it to fully buffer a video.
(2023-01-13) K. W.: not working at all on 2023/01/13 with latest chrome
(2022-12-21) Wat Joe: I installed it for loading the whole video and it doesn't work.
(2022-10-10) Matthew Kowal: This is a extension on the store for greater control over auto play and other annoyances on YouTube when not signed in. Everything works fine but I have found a few issues: 1. » The buffering of the video without starting it does not actually do anything 2. » The playback quality when set to Highest still chooses Auto instead of the highest quality 3. » The display video suggestions sidebar remains when unchecked. (This was not a major issue for me, personally, because I have all the displays enabled) Clicking the extension opens up a mini player with no playlist information. There is also a history side pane which appears to be broken as well. The preferences menu is a slick mobile style menu with a 3 stacked line burgaesa. Minor annoyance: The settings pane is not a persistent window and if you click off it you will have to reopen and click the 3 line menu again. The author could improve the app by fixing these issues.
(2022-09-25) Makintosh Ion: Zaznaczyłem aby video ładowało się podczas pauzy gdy wrócę. Wracam i buforowanie zatrzymało się na 120 sekundzie tak jak jest to oryginalnie. Rozszerzenie nie buforuje filmu !!! klapa totalna wirus jakiś.
(2022-07-06) Mrj T: 06 -July - 2022; Doesn't work, Removing ...
(2022-02-20) zyfi: This extension did not do the one thing I wanted it for, buffering the entire video instead of just a few minutes. One star for false advertising.
(2021-11-20) Luke Bassham: My videos will now open paused rather than just run immediately without actually loading at all or allowing me to pause for 20 seconds while its at a horrificly low quality that jumps around cos my internet and my computer are trash, this extension is exactly what I wanted. That said, I can't set the quality to be 480, it only starts at 720 and doesn't seem to work anyway, it just defaults to auto, so that does need to be fixed I guess. I don't care though, I just hate that chrome makes youtube automatically start playing while firefox is sane and doesn't. 5 stars edit: Actually, incognito isn't working, despite being turned on in all the settings. 4 stars
(2021-06-13) ENDTASK: it worked 1 time ant then never worked again
(2021-02-07) Jaime Orlando “D474” Cazares Valdez: Update Below Original Review I have been through all of the YouTube extensions, and this is the one that does not come with bugs, glitches, and/or otherwise, horrid details that ruin the interface.
(2020-09-19) Benjamin Niskala: Not buffering more than original.
(2020-08-19) Лапшинов Вячеслав: It's great.
(2020-01-24) Jim Jang: youtube still keeps buffering
(2019-10-26) Max Triet: Buffering is still the same. Not working.
(2019-07-26) Johny Why: Could be the best YouTube control center. Because SMALL. But, Quality setting doesn't work. Also, doesn't work on embeds.
(2019-06-14) Tukoz “Kuddos South Africa” Aki: I still have to manually set the video resolution after I set quality to 1080HD (or Best resolution) in the extension's pop-up. And repeat after each page reload (eg after a break) and for each 'Next episode' in playlists. Chrome OS here so I can't even try the extension on Firefox unfortunately :( Nice extension beside this.
(2019-05-09) Ghost: Im having trouble locating the youtube center settings, there should be a gear beside my user but its not there. all my other settings are just regular settings for my account. can you please help me.
(2019-04-05) Streisand Effect: Wants to read my browsing history. No thanks.
(2019-02-13) Chris W: Horrible. Doesn't buffer videos further. Made it so that I couldn't see any comments or suggested videos, as everything but the video was just grey blocks. How is this even an extension? Literally does NOTHING that it claims to do.
(2019-01-29) Rodrigo Rodrigues: zuado
(2019-01-28) Muhammad Abubakar: So far good. I don't have to move to youtube tab to play pause in office.
(2018-12-16) madrabbitwoman: I appears to not do anything it says it should - not worth it
(2018-10-17) Cumpre o que promete. A melhor extensão de controle do Youtube.
(2018-10-07) AndersoN FariaS: Não esta funcionando.
(2018-09-28) COtyFIKASZ FIK: nie dziala
(2018-09-13) TiK3v: Ça marche!
(2018-08-14) Marie G: Some of the controls have stopped working. F.eks: I cannot turn the video suggestions sidebar off anymore. Deleting and reinstalling did not fix the problems. I'll still keep the extension for turning off video comments which was my reason to get it in the first place.
(2018-06-27) Mike F.: No es tan buena, busquen Youtube playback control
(2018-05-17) Manas P: Love it to bits. it is so useful
(2018-05-02) AXEL 3000: aun no la exploro bien pero si es funcionl
(2018-03-19) Alex D: Just what I need for constant music stream at work! EDIT: Unfortunately, memory consumption of the addon is even higher than that of YouTube tabs I control. My work computer is not up to task of running it smoothly without compromising my workflow. Therefore, I have to disable it. Hoping for the update to temper memory consumption.
(2018-03-18) Farhaan Akhtar: wow nice control
(2018-03-14) THE STYLISH TRAVELLER 2: 现在不知道一个星期后在看看
(2018-02-05) Alexandre Blanc: This is the best extension for manager youtube tracking
(2018-01-06) Mellow Fellow: At the time of writing, the option to buffer video without starting buffers only about 30 secs of video before stopping. Won't buffer whole video.
(2017-12-30) Danilo Santos: Resolution recommendation is not working
(2017-12-13) Rommel Lizondo: no va muy bien
(2017-12-10) Hammad Farooq: Love it. This addon is featured on firefox. Much better than all other popular youtube addons!
