Allows you to quickly view videos from your subscriptions feed page

Description from store
Watch videos without leaving your YouTube subscriptions feed page, and possibly without ever clicking.
Hover over thumbnails in your feed page to view that video. How about thumbnails at the side of a video page? That works too!
Q: What's better than a nice subscriptions feed page that you can scroll forever?
A: A page where you can scroll forever AND watch videos.
P.S. This is open-source at https://github.com/ngzhian/quickview

- Nicole Sung
- Stopped working on related videos under videos and Home page thumbnails, but still works on subscriptions page.
- FairySlash
- EDIT: it stopped working all together :( I just get error code 0 or 4 and it says the video is unavailable old review: it works great, but the delay option doesn't actually delay the video showing up like I think was the intention? I set it to the equivalent of a minute of delay and it still shows up in a couple of seconds. I set it to all 9s, up until the max, and got the same result.
- John Martin (Sciocore)
- Needs a lot of work and more options; like... - ability to hide the side info - resize the video popup - get the hover timer to work - choose hover or a click option -etc... You know, the kind of options that would be a bit obvious to the average developer.
- Maxwell Wilson
- Timer doesn't seem to work (always defaults to ~10ms), popping up constantly, unintentionally
- Riaz Ali
- current requirement to get this addon to work: YouTube > Settings > Playback and performance > Browsing > Video previews (toggle this off)

- Miguel Garza
- Works quite well but because it works on so many pages now, it's unintentionally annoying...because I forget that it exists and then suddenly videos start playing simply because my mouse cursor stopped moving while over a thumbnail. Would be nice if we could set which pages it works on. Also, it'd be really nice if maybe it only worked while you held down a certain key, such as one of the modifier keys (Ctrl, Alt, Shift, etc). If this were configurable, that would be amazing.

- Cool, but the hover delay option didn't change anything for me. It's always the default time (yes, I refreshed youtube)

- Great! But there are some suggestions. 1. If I hover outside of the preview window, I wish I could close the preview automatically. 2. Also, please make "close the window" icon on the top right corner like a normal window. 2. I want to select the default preview size. (small/ big) 3. I don't want to see the video info. It would be great if you make it an option.

- good but needs a customizable delay timer for popping up the window. Whizzing over a few thumbnails for fractions of a second might be enough topop up the player. A lot more options would be good.

- I love the functionality but hate the weird UI. Please improve the UI to fit modern YouTube. Also please add option to show only if you hover for extended number of seconds.
