Audio Only Youtube

After being a developer for 3 years, I can say that this works. Although, it does not block 100% of the video requests, with the extension on it uses 3MB for a 10 minute video. But modifying the request handler to block all video requests it uses 350KB, almost 10x less! Plus the audio loads much faster as no video is processed. Please add the following code to save more data! Unfortunately, the first video part must load, so this does not work when loading a new video. (This does not work without the extension enabled, it needs to hook into YouTube/Video API. This method will not work for Twitch as they use a combined video/audio format, YouTube is special). Insert this in with developer tools console (F12). (function(){ var origOpen=XMLHttpRequest.prototype.open; XMLHttpRequest.prototype.open= function(){ console.log('request started!'); this.addEventListener('load', function(){ console.log('request completed!'); }); console.log(this, arguments); if(!/mime=video/.test(arguments[1])) return origOpen.apply( this, arguments); console.log("stoped"); }; })();

Awesome! Saves a lot of data if only want to listen to songs. Plus, easily button to turn on/off the extension.

Works seamlessly and lowers bandwidth and memory usage. Could be dramatically improved by removing all images on the page or providing an option to remove all images on the page.. Would give 5 stars if this feature was implemented.

EDIT: The loading time issue seems to have been fixed. It appears that this extension hasn't been updated recently so I guess YouTube changed or something on my end changed. Now it gets 5 stars. :) Old review: Very useful, but doesn't get a 5 star rating from me because on longer videos such as hour-long music mixes it can take extremely long (dozens of seconds to several minutes) for the audio to load even though with the extension disabled the videos load instantly. I still like it a lot as it saves bandwidth and computer resource usage, but I'd like to see the load time issue fixed if possible.
