Motivation:

The 'Enhancer for Youtube' extension is very useful and powerful, which is why it is all the more tragic that it is proprietary. So, I want to implement all the features (that I think are useful) from that extension in libre code.

List of features:

  • Videos start in theater mode by default
  • Videos in Theater mode take up the entire viewport
  • Scrolling down beyond the video playback area shows a mini player that follows you

List of planned features from Enhancer:

  • Prevent autoplay on videos in the background

List of planned features not from Enhancer:

  • Keyboard navigation for comments, like RES
  • Have a way to show only comments below a video, only the description, or only recommendations; like NewPipe

List of features that will not be added:

  • Ad-blocker: Use uBlock Origin
  • Speed controls: Use Video Speed Controller
  • Theming: Install Stylus
  • Cinema Mode: Use a dark theme
