About this extension
YTweaks brings practical tweaks for YouTube:
- Shorts as normal video — Shorts links open in the standard
/watchplayer with correct history. - Hide Shorts — global toggle or per-location: sidebar menu, home, search, subscriptions, channels, suggestions and trending.
- Video page — hide recommended videos and/or the playlist panel.
- Playlist layout — when related videos are hidden, description and comments expand to use the playlist width.
- Player size — YouTube default, medium (fits on screen) or full width when the sidebar is hidden.
- Hold speed — disables temporary 2x speed when holding the mouse or spacebar.
- Video quality — lock to 480p/720p/1080p/1440p/4K; if the chosen quality is unavailable, the highest available is applied.
- Original language — keep titles, audio and description in the original language.
- Subtitles — automatic subtitle control and language selection.
