Radio Mode for YouTube™
Replace background YouTube™ videos with more efficient audio, for less distractions.
Radio Mode for YouTube™ removes the video from the page, leaving just the audio, for less distractions.
Ever listen to music on YouTube in the background? Ever see your computer slow down or hear the fans start spinning?
Simply click the Radio icon in the YouTube player to remove the video. If you are playing a playlist, every video will be blanked out automatically.
* This only works with the HTML5 YouTube player. Videos that are forced to play in Flash, such as VEVO, will not work with the plugin.
* This does not save on bandwidth, just CPU usage and potential distractions.
Usage based on a single video playing. CPU usage reduced by ~50%.

Do not install this extension, it runs random YT videos in the background, it took me two weeks and a bunch of anti-virus scans to find the culprit. It watches random YT videos from your account in the background making it impossible to identify where the account jeoprdacy is coming from.

Still loaded in the video in the background, doesnt save any bandwidth, totally defeats the purpose.

This extension was just what I needed. It helps me stay focused by not getting distracted from videos while looking for something to listen to. As of the last windows 10 update it doesn't seem to be working anymore :( I'll give it 5 stars once fixed.

lo único que hace es ocultar la imagen, pero el flujo de datos es el mismo, te consume igual y te demora lo mismo en cargar.

It works! YouTube is clunky and heavy, and when I only want to listen to the audio anyway, Radio Mode keeps the video from playing and using up more CPU and memory than is needed. Thank you very much for this simple, effective, and highly convenient extension 8)
This a simple, yet excellent plugin. I would agree it would be nice to silence the annotations (even a $('.ytp-button ytp-segmented-control-selected').click() or something would be a quick fix and increase your quality even more.) However, it still rocks and saved me time from writing my own. :)

Me encanto, exactamente lo que buscaba
Works just as advertised, but it would be even better if it would automatically block annotations while in "Radio Mode." If the awesome developer added that it would be 5 star material.
