Always display a tiny progress bar with buffer loading on YouTube's player even in the fullscreen mode
This extension brings a small, persistent progress bar to the YouTube player, enhancing your viewing experience. You can customize the extension to adjust the bar's height and color on the options page.
The beauty of this feature lies in its adaptability ? it remains hidden until the default YouTube progress bar disappears, even in fullscreen mode!
The primary goal is to offer a constant visual cue of the player's progress status. If the bar appears too slim for your screen, head to the options page and tweak the height setting.
Exciting Features:
1. Keep track of the loaded percentage (buffered video progress).
2. Monitor the current position of the player.
3. Updates of these percentages every 2 seconds (adaptive).
4. Almost all features are fully customizable through the options page.
5. Compatible with the YouTube website and embedded YouTube players on any website.
6. Hides the permanent progress bar on live streams
Recent Changes:
Version 0.2.0:
1. The extension has been upgraded to manifest v3, ensuring improved functionality and performance.

- (2019-07-02) Stefan B. Christensen: Love it! Simple as that... Just wish it worked globally for all HTML5 video objects in Chrome
- (2019-06-25) Yep . it works 25/june/2019 . thx!
- (2019-06-22) Jawhar Aslan: Nice idea! Works like a charm. You can also adjust the size. Would be nice to add other options like opacity and color but it's nice at it this too :)
- (2019-03-06) Leo Staley: One of my most cherished extensions. I wish the bar could be below the video instead of covering the bottom pixels, like an old script I used, before youtube broke it, but it might not be possible anymore. I also wish the color could be changed, but this is secondary, and also might not be posssible anymore.
- (2019-02-01) douglas carley: so far so good. it would be nice to customize the color though. red is a little distracting.
- (2019-01-22) Simon Andersson: Its does what it says and i like it
- (2019-01-03) Gabi Koonings: It's simple, it looks good, the only problem is that after a reboot, no matter if you saved it, it only saves for that session, so you will have to set it to what you want again yourself. They should fix that. Minor gripe, the width of the bar is just a tad wider then the active seeker bar, i have no idea why, make it either full screen width, or the same as the normal seeker bar, the same size makes most sense. Extra option i would like, which may not be as easy, is to move the standard YT bar to the bottom, so it will ALWAYS be at the bottom, and maybe on mouse over be thicker, preferably to a thickness you can also set, for easier control.
