YouTube <\/strong>delivers hundreds of new online videos on a daily basis. Content creators use the platform to share new ideas, music videos, or marketing campaigns. Chrome extends this functionality<\/strong> by introducing extensions on the browser so you can do more with the videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve put together a list of the 15 best Chrome extensions for YouTube<\/strong>. Be sure to check out the top features for each one so you\u2019ll know how relevant it is to you or your business. You can unlock restricted content, block ads, create parties, and so much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Return YouTube Dislike<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Content creators didn\u2019t like the Dislike button on YouTube showing viewers how many people disliked the videos. YT took steps to disable showing the amount, which went into effect on December 31, 2022. Return YouTube Dislike lets you access the data<\/strong> related to Dislikes on Chrome<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also view historical data<\/strong>, both before and after YouTube disabled the feature. Since Return YouTube Dislike is still in active development, not all of the data may be accurate.<\/p>\n\n\n

Unblocker for YouTube<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If your network administrator or employer has blocked your Chrome browser from viewing YouTube videos, Unblocker for YouTube will grant you access<\/strong> again. The free version contains adverts and watermarks, which you can remove with the paid version. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll need to be careful when using this Chrome extension for YouTube. If your company or administrator discovers you\u2019re finding a way to circumvent the restrictions<\/strong>, you may find yourself in trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n

Adblock for YouTube\u2122<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many websites embed YouTube videos in their articles or online content for different reasons. Most of the time, it means dealing with the adverts that appear with them. Adblock for YouTube removes these ads<\/strong> on any site where they\u2019re found in the videos so you don\u2019t have to wait. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there\u2019s limited functionality<\/strong>. For example, it won\u2019t deal with any other banners or adverts on the sites. It only works for YouTube panels on Chrome where you can watch the videos. <\/p>\n\n\n

YT With Friends<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Are you familiar with the Netflix Teleparty extension where you can stream movies with your friends at the same time? YT with Friends takes the same principle and applies it to YouTube for Chrome. You can create or join sessions<\/strong>, enjoying online videos together while laughing or chatting about the content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There have been some issues in the past, but the developer has been keeping a steady hand on updates to fix the bugs. You can also customize some of the settings<\/strong>, such as activating dark mode.<\/p>\n\n\n

YCS – YouTube Comment Search<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Working through thousands of comments on a YouTube video can be time-consuming, especially when you\u2019re looking for something specific. YCS – YouTube Comment Search is a sophisticated extension<\/strong> for Chrome that makes this task easier for you. It doesn\u2019t simply let you search for comments; you can also select categories or filter for the types of comments you want to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the features include searching for authors, comment likes, timestamped responses, and random replies. It works for many different languages, and you can also export comments<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Enhancer for YouTube\u2122<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Recommended by Mozilla, Microsoft Edge, and Opera teams, this Chrome extension for YouTube lets you optimize various video playback settings<\/strong>. You can adjust speeds, quality, and repetitive items on the platform. It performs like a Windows video player, except it\u2019s adjusted for the YT content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s also a dark mode if the white and bright colors affect your eyes, specifically designed for YouTube on Chrome. If you don\u2019t like the current YT keyboard shortcuts<\/strong>, you can change them in the settings.<\/p>\n\n\n

YouTube Party<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Much like YT With Friends, YouTube Party lets you join friends in watching videos<\/strong> on the platform. You can also listen to music videos and sing along with others to have a ball of a time. If you want to have a conversation, there\u2019s a chat panel in the Chrome extension Window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating a YouTube party is as easy as sending the link <\/strong>to your friends. They can open it on their side and watch the video with you. Leaving the session is as easy as closing Chrome or the page. Another option is selecting \u201cLeave Session.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

YouTube<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the official YouTube extension for Chrome. It doesn\u2019t really come with any new features that aren\u2019t already available on the main YT site. All it does is provide a link <\/strong>for you to head straight to the video platform without typing the URL, which may save you some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s so much more that Google could have done with this extension. Still, it\u2019s handy if you don\u2019t want to waste time<\/strong> typing in the site\u2019s address all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n

Looper for YouTube<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

YT videos usually end by going to the next one in the playlist. If you don\u2019t have a playlist, the video platform picks one for you. That means you need to jump up and press back if you want to listen to the same song over and over again. Looper for YouTube adds a Loop button<\/strong> for situations like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also loop a video<\/strong> with the quick press of a button if you have the Chrome extension installed. It works with timestamp ranges for short sections of the video, and it lets you select how many times you want to loop it.<\/p>\n\n\n

YouTube Dark Theme<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While YouTube has a dark mode, you can\u2019t really customize the settings<\/strong> or schedule times for it to apply. There\u2019s also no easy way to toggle it on or off. YouTube Dark Theme adds a toggle as a Chrome extension button, making it easier to access. Also, it injects some script into the YT platform\u2019s CSS to make it compatible with most devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a section where you can schedule times<\/strong> when you want the system to automatically apply the dark theme. That means you can work in the normal mode during the day and the inverted colors at night.<\/p>\n\n\n

Are you feeling slightly lazy and want to control YT videos on your PC from your phone? YouTube TV on PC turns your mobile device into a remote control so you can adjust various properties or switch to a new video. It creates a TV link<\/strong> that connects both devices on Chrome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also improve the HD quality of the video<\/strong> on your PC or TV, depending on where you\u2019re streaming the content. It\u2019s specifically designed to work with YouTube.com\/TV.<\/p>\n\n\n

It can be challenging to quickly grab a screenshot of a video<\/strong> while it\u2019s playing or paused. Screenshot YouTube saves you the trouble by adding a screenshot button under videos with this Chrome extension. Just one click, and it saves the image to a designated location or to your clipboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you\u2019ll need to be careful what you use the screenshot for, as the content may have copyright protection. You can also designate a keyboard shortcut<\/strong> if you don\u2019t want to move the mouse to click at the right time.<\/p>\n\n\n

You\u2019ll find many videos on YT that don\u2019t have subtitles. It can be hard to follow what people are saying sometimes, even when you have perfect hearing. Subtitles for YouTube lets you add captions to videos<\/strong> on Chrome, no matter what the content type is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
