Overview

Product summary

Review the store description, core capabilities, and common use cases.

YouTube Control Center is a browser extension to control YouTube pages from a toolbar popup. You can pause, resume, stop, move to the next or previous tracks right from the popup without the need to switch to the YouTube tab. Note that if there is no open YouTube tab, by pressing the toolbar button, a new YouTube page is opened. When the player starts to playing the video, popup is ready.

Using this extension you can also control page layout as well as the player behaviours like:

1. Stop player from buffering media

2. Change quality to HD (HD2160p, HD1440p, HD1080p, HD720p)

3. Prevent the player from displaying annotations

4. Prevent the player from starting the next track when the current one is finished

I installed it for loading the whole video and it doesn't work.

This is a extension on the store for greater control over auto play and other annoyances on YouTube when not signed in. Everything works fine but I have found a few issues: 1. » The buffering of the video without starting it does not actually do anything 2. » The playback quality when set to Highest still chooses Auto instead of the highest quality 3. » The display video suggestions sidebar remains when unchecked. (This was not a major issue for me, personally, because I have all the displays enabled) Clicking the extension opens up a mini player with no playlist information. There is also a history side pane which appears to be broken as well. The preferences menu is a slick mobile style menu with a 3 stacked line burgaesa. Minor annoyance: The settings pane is not a persistent window and if you click off it you will have to reopen and click the 3 line menu again. The author could improve the app by fixing these issues.

Zaznaczyłem aby video ładowało się podczas pauzy gdy wrócę. Wracam i buforowanie zatrzymało się na 120 sekundzie tak jak jest to oryginalnie. Rozszerzenie nie buforuje filmu !!! klapa totalna wirus jakiś.

This extension did not do the one thing I wanted it for, buffering the entire video instead of just a few minutes. One star for false advertising.

My videos will now open paused rather than just run immediately without actually loading at all or allowing me to pause for 20 seconds while its at a horrificly low quality that jumps around cos my internet and my computer are trash, this extension is exactly what I wanted. That said, I can't set the quality to be 480, it only starts at 720 and doesn't seem to work anyway, it just defaults to auto, so that does need to be fixed I guess. I don't care though, I just hate that chrome makes youtube automatically start playing while firefox is sane and doesn't. 5 stars edit: Actually, incognito isn't working, despite being turned on in all the settings. 4 stars

Update Below Original Review I have been through all of the YouTube extensions, and this is the one that does not come with bugs, glitches, and/or otherwise, horrid details that ruin the interface.
