The strongest Youtube Extension
90 proven features - the only one of a kind

Since 2012 we have gradually been adding lightweight features & keeping up with Youtube changes. (throughout the years we witnessed the birth & fall of other promising & open YouTube Extensions 1, 2, ... ) Today adding something is easier & so motivating as there are 500 000 users. [👪Join us].

Spread the word `📣`

- Why arent there millions of users yet? We didn't write a guide or manual, let alone ads. This project can still fly much higher through your word of mouth & eventually enable us to work on all wishes & more immediate updates around the clock 🌱

📜Old Introduction:

ImprovedTube, is an extension we built to refine 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. And there was so much left to build and are many clever features to come still. ImprovedTube is designed with our own 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
