About this extension

TubeForge changes how youtube.com feels: fewer distractions, sharper playback controls, and optional power tools without a TubeForge account. Settings sync with Firefox Sync where you use storage.sync; immersive Lazy UI may use local storage.

Distraction & layout

Hide Shorts and optional feed filters (live, premieres, mixes, sponsored slots where selectors match).
Dim watched thumbnails.
Focus Mode hides sidebar / comments / related panels on watch pages.

Playback

Speed memory per channel (when enabled).
Theater mode preference (when enabled).
Auto quality hints via the player API (when enabled).
Loop A–B on the player bar (when enabled).

Shorts

Lazy Mode for Shorts with configurable behavior (auto-advance, ads handling, progress UI, optional immersive chrome).

Power tools

Stats overlay on the player (when enabled).
Screenshot button + keyboard shortcuts (when enabled).
Per-video notes (stored with preferences).

Optional third-party data

When Return dislikes is enabled, the extension requests vote counts from https://returnyoutubedislikeapi.com using the current watch page video ID. Disable the toggle to stop those requests.

TubeForge is not affiliated with YouTube or Google.

Developer comments

TubeForge is a Manifest V3 extension focused on enhancing youtube.com (UI cleanup, playback helpers, optional Lazy Shorts mode, screenshots, notes, stats overlay). Manifest host/content patterns may be broad; YouTube-specific behavior is gated in the content script.

Review tip: enable/disable major toggles from the toolbar popup and verify behavior on /watch and /shorts.

Optional third-party network: when “Return dislikes” is enabled, the add-on requests vote data from returnyoutubedislikeapi.com using the current watch video ID.

If reviewers need additional listing copy, technical context, or clarification for comparison with another listing under my developer account, they may reference or contact: web-content-scraper@kiarashbashokian.com

Build (when source is supplied): from the app directory run npm ci then npm run build:firefox; output must match the packaged extension under dist/firefox before zipping.

Thank you.
