Maybe you are already using multiple YouTube extensions to replay videos in a loop, hide advertisements, and display them in separate always-on-top windows but this new YouTube Options extension features a packed single shotgun that replaces all other YouTube extensions and has tons of options that you will ever need.
The reason we are calling it an Ultimate YouTube Extension is because of its numerous feature-rich options. It even lets you customize the design in a way you have never thought of before. In fact, after serious customization, it becomes difficult to even recognize YouTube except for that URL. Can you identify the below snapshot as a YouTube video?
Some of the options that we really like are –
#. Ability to hide in-video ads, annotations, closed captions, and sidebar ads on YouTube.
#. Resizing video when you scroll the page. This way you can simultaneously read comments and watch videos.
#. Extended keyboard shortcuts for YouTube.
#. Option to replay in the loop indefinitely.
#. Controlling mouse scroll to resize, forward, or rewind or to change video volume.
#. Hide page elements like header, title, comments, description, footer, video suggestions, and many more.
#. Favicons to show player status – playing, pausing, stopping, and buffering. Very useful if you have multiple videos open in multiple tabs.
#. Download the links below videos.
Our favorite feature is the ability to implement Wadworth’s constant. If you ever thought that the first few seconds were completely unnecessary (because they repeat the title or show an introduction) then this feature is for you. It lets you skip the introduction and watch the rest of the video that matters.
This concept’s discovery was made by a Reddit user Wadworth who noted that the first 30% of any video is unnecessary and you can safely skip it. The remaining 70% video has all that you are looking for. Somebody at YouTube then implemented this feature so that appending URLs with &wadsworth=1 automatically skips the first 30% of the video.
We found YouTube Options a customization powerhouse. It will change the way you experience videos. Let us know if you like this new experience.
