YouTube HDR Switch

The Ultimate Solution to washed-out or blinding YouTube HDR videos! YouTube HDR Switch is a beautifully designed Chrome extension created to enhance your viewing experience. Many users experience blindingly bright screens or washed-out, faded, gray colors when watching HDR videos on YouTube due to display or OS color-mapping conflicts. This extension provides a clean, elegant toggle to control exactly when to allow HDR content. Key Features: 1. One-Click HDR Toggle: Intuitive toggle switch. When turned ON, videos play in original HDR; when turned OFF, it blocks the HDR stream and seamlessly falls back to color-accurate SDR to protect your eyes. 2. Preserve Playback Progress (Seconds): Toggling the switch automatically reloads the YouTube tab and continues playing exactly where you left off — no manual scrubbing required! 3. Multi-Language Support: The interface fully supports English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, with a manual selector built right in. 4. Default ON (Non-intrusive): Defaults to HDR Enabled on initial installation, letting you control when to filter out HDR without unsolicited blocking. 5. Lightweight & Fast: Built using modern Chrome Extension MV3 specifications with dynamic script registration, ensuring zero impact on browser performance. How to Use: 1. Click the extension icon in the toolbar to open the control panel. 2. Toggle the switch to enable or disable HDR. 3. The extension will automatically reload active YouTube tabs and resume playback from the exact second with the new color mode applied!
