About YouTube QuickBar

πŸš€ 1. Always-on-Top Floating Player Keep watching while you scroll down to the comments β€” the floating player can open automatically. It supports always-on-top display, drag to move, resize, position memory, and 6 preset positions. πŸš€ 2. Jump to Timestamps Instantly While the floating player is open, clicking a timestamp link in the comments seeks the video right inside the mini window β€” no need to scroll back up to the main player and then return to the comments. πŸš€ 3. Playback Speed Works on YouTube & Shorts. Build your own speed list, cycle through it with hotkeys ( [ and ] ), and set a default playback speed for every video. πŸš€ 4. Fast-Forward / Rewind on Shorts Works on YouTube & Shorts: press ← to rewind and β†’ to fast-forward, with a customizable number of seconds. πŸš€ 5. A–B Loop Three-step setup with the A hotkey: 1st press sets point A β†’ 2nd press sets point B and starts looping β†’ 3rd press clears the loop. Great for repeating a passage when learning languages or practicing an instrument. πŸš€ 6. Quick Live Chat & Comments Toggle Instantly collapse or expand live chat or the comments section on YouTube & Shorts. Hotkey: backslash ( \ ). πŸš€ 7. Auto-Translate Subtitles Automatically translate subtitles into your chosen language; press again to restore the original. Hotkey: V. πŸš€ 8. Zoom to Fill Fill the whole screen on ultrawide displays such as 21:9, or set your own zoom factor. Hotkey: G. πŸš€ 9. Auto Skip Ads (Skip AD) πŸš€ 10. Open Videos in a New Tab Left-click any video to open it in a new tab (Shorts included). Choose whether to switch to the new tab or stay on the current page. πŸš€ 11. Automatic Fallback When YouTube's Hold-to-Speed Fails When YouTube's native "hold for 2Γ— speed" doesn't kick in, this extension takes over and applies the speed-up for you. πŸš€ 12. Hold Left-Click & Drag Down to Lock Playback Speed Hold the left mouse button, drag downward, then release to lock the current video at that speed. Repeat the same gesture to unlock. πŸš€ 13. Persistent Progress Bar at the Bottom Customizable color and thickness. ⭐️ 14. Never-Pause Playback: automatically clicks "Yes" when "Video paused. Continue watching?" appears. ⭐️ 15. Default Video Quality: applies your preferred quality to every video (falls back to the closest available option). ⭐️ 16. Copy Link at Current Time: copy the video URL with the current timestamp in one click β€” perfect for sharing an exact moment. ⭐️ 17. Theater Mode: set videos to open in theater mode by default. Hotkey: T. ⭐️ 18. Picture-in-Picture (PiP): pop out a PiP window instantly. Hotkey: P. ⭐️ 19. Highly Customizable: remap every hotkey and choose which buttons appear in the player. ⭐️ 20. Rotate Video: 0Β° β†’ 90Β° β†’ 180Β° β†’ 270Β° β†’ 0Β° ⭐️ 21. Multilingual UI: Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean. ⭐️ 22.
