YouTube Enhancer browser extension
Manifest V3 browser extension with 30+ individually toggleable features: ad blocking, SponsorBlock, dislike restoration, playback controls, UI cleanup.
What
A browser extension that layers ~30 features onto YouTube, each independently togglable via a popup settings panel. No single opinionated preset — the user enables exactly what they want.
Feature categories
- Ad blocking — auto-skip ads, remove banner overlays
- Playback — volume normalisation, speed control, background playback
- UI — cinema mode, mini player, hide Shorts/comments/chat
- Integrations — Return YouTube Dislike API (free), SponsorBlock
- Utilities — screenshot, custom keyboard shortcuts, visual filters
Architecture
Manifest V3: content.js runs in the page context, background.js is a service worker, popup/ handles the settings UI. Icon generation requires Node.js but the extension itself has no build step.
Notes
Not on the Chrome Web Store — manual unpacking required. Built as a personal tool first; the repo is the artefact.
