Tweaks for YouTube

Browser extension for YouTube (including embedded videos), YouTube Music, and Google Drive videos. Fast forward, rewind, navigate chapters, control volume, speed, and more with an unlimited number of custom mouse and keyboard shortcuts. Turn on the "Auto Gain" feature to balance sound levels across different videos by making quieter videos louder. One of the audio channels is quieter or missing? Just turn on the "Mono Mix". Use the "High Pass Filter" for muddy audio with too much bass. Make player controls always visible, hidden, or visible only on mouse hover. Replace player controls with minimalist progress bar instead. Show playlist duration, full-size thumbnails and avatars, get video download URL, take video snapshot, set initial volume, speed, resolution, default channel page tab, subtitles position, and more. Most features and keyboard shortcuts are off by default, so explore the options and enable ones you need. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Features: YouTube ---------------------------------------------------------------- Mouse Control -
