Old/Long Introduction:

ImprovedTube,

      is an extension we built to refine and sweeten your YouTube experience. A one-stop-shop with many powerful features to enhance YouTube, yet liteweight. A larger player & tidy youtube UI / hiding distractions were the first loved feature. But that is not all… - there was so much left to build and there are many clever features to come still.        ImprovedTube is designed with our own pure UI library: Satus (to manage your settings efficiently & create familiar apps/'cousins easily.)       Please spread the word: ImprovedTube is the only project of it's kind, because other open Youtube Extensions resigned. No other project provides so much CSS to adjust a website🦄.

Some ImprovedTube features:

• Video quality
• Themes and customisation
• Repeat-, screenshot-, rotate-buttons
• Pop-up player
• Ads management
• Hide Cards and Annotations
• Customise video page appearance (always expand description, hide related videos etc.)
• Channel page customisations
• Customisation of hotkeys/shortcuts
• Statistics
• Volume mixer Full list
