Tweaks for YouTube

Description

Browser extension for YouTube and YouTube Music

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 missing, quieter, or louder? Just turn on the "Mono Mix". For the muddy audio with too much bass use the "High Pass Filter".

Make the player controls always visible, hidden, or show the minimalist progress bar instead.

Set subtitles position, show playlist duration, get video download URL, take video snapshot, set initial volume, speed, resolution, channel page tab, and more.
