Description from store

Anticipation hides the video time and progress bar on Youtube and Twitch VODs, along with the times of related videos on the page, so the user does not know how much time is left in a video.

Anticipation is useful when watching sports, esports, or other types of competitions when the amount of time left might give away the result of the sport, match, or competition.

Examples of sports and esports where Anticipation is useful: Tennis, Boxing, League of Legends, Super Smash Brothers, Counter-Strike, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, DOTA

The screenshots shown show Anticipation being used with LoL, CS:GO, and Super Smash Bros videos.

littlek4za 2025-09-13: is there any chance to disable the estimated time of the video when browsing the video list? i remember long time ago, when i use anticipation, the time of each video on the list is hidden.. but recently when i activate again, the time on video list is not hidden
F A 2024-01-04: Easy to use and great feature. Allows me to watch sports games like badminton without knowing the overall length of the matches ( which would tell you who is the winner after the first match)
Alastair Scheuermann 2023-04-17: This app is incredible and has improved my YouTube experience a ton. No more spoilers for my favorite FGC fights. Thank you!

Remy 2020-04-04: It is almost perfect, the only issue is that i have to remove the extension for it to go back to normal and then add it again later. Can you maybe add a on/off switch?

Roadhog360 2019-10-25: A little restricted that it has no customisation options or no option to temporarily disable, but it works.

Tessie 2019-08-11: It's amazing on YouTube, but it's almost useless on Twitch, as you can see the progress bar, meaning you can roughly guess how much time is remaining. Is this fixable?
