A Chrome extension that adds a set of quality-of-life fixes and tweaks to YouTube, toggleable from a single popup — no need to install and manage a pile of separate userscripts.
Toggle any of these on or off from the extension popup:
- Clean UI — strips out ads and clutter from the page for a cleaner viewing experience.
- Redirect Shorts — automatically redirects Shorts links to the regular watch page.
- Suppress Live Chat — keeps live chat running while preventing it from slowing down the page during high-traffic streams.
- Allow Custom Loop — loop any custom start/end time range on a video, not just the whole thing.
- Player Auto Minimize — automatically pops the video into Picture-in-Picture when scrolled away, and restores it when scrolled back.
- Take Video Snapshot — capture and download the current video frame as a PNG with one click.
- Disable Auto Translation — (coming soon).
- Download the latest release zip from the Releases page.
- Unzip it somewhere on your computer.
- Open
chrome://extensionsin Chrome (or any Chromium-based browser). - Enable Developer mode (top right).
- Click Load unpacked and select the unzipped folder.
The extension icon will appear in your toolbar — click it to open the popup and toggle features on YouTube.
If you'd rather build the release zip yourself instead of downloading one:
# Windows (PowerShell)
./build.ps1
# Windows (Command Prompt)
build.bat
# macOS/Linux
./build.shAny of these produce a CustomYTools_v{VersionNumber}.zip containing just what's needed to load the extension, ready to be loaded as described above.
The extension checks for updates automatically and will notify you in the popup (and on-page) when a newer version is available.
