And it works on both the classic and new YouTube layout.
Requirement:
A video card with a score of at least 5000 points in the PassMark G3D Mark benchmark is recommended.
Check your video card's score here: https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu_list.php

Hi Wessel, I recently re-enabled your Ext. to check out the updates... Is the on-screen options menu meant to stay on the youtube video?? I am unable to hide it or fully collapse it. Thanks. - (2019-11-06, v:2.30) Iamasink: Why does it now want Browsing History Permissions?
