About YT Overclocked - YouTube Ad Blocker, PiP, Volume Booster & Show Dislikes
Stop juggling a speed controller, a volume booster, a dislike counter, an ad blocker and a Picture-in-Picture helper. YT Overclocked puts the YouTube upgrades you actually use into one fast, lightweight extension, with one clean popup to control them all.
⚡ PLAYBACK SPEED
• Any speed from 0.1× to 16×, with one-click presets (1×, 1.5×, 2×, 3×)
• Fine +/− steps you choose, plus a default and a preferred speed
• Remembers your speed across videos and browser sessions
• Optional speed controller right on the player
🔊 SOUND OVERCLOCK
• Volume boost up to 500% for quiet videos
• Bass and treble controls (±12 dB)
• Voice boost for lectures, podcasts and dialogue
• Normalize quiet videos, with a peak limiter for loud moments
• Stereo, mono, left-only or right-only output
👎 DISLIKES ARE BACK
• Estimated dislike counts shown inside YouTube's dislike button
• Optional like ratio and ratio bar
• Powered by the Return YouTube Dislike API
🧹 AD & PROMOTION CLEANUP
• Hides ad slots, sponsored cards, promotions and the homepage masthead
• Clicks "Skip" for you when a skip button appears
• Blocks known video-ad requests
• Turn each cleanup category on or off
🖼 AUTOMATIC PICTURE-IN-PICTURE
• Auto mode moves your video into a floating window when you switch tabs
• Closes it again when you come back
• A PiP button and an "Auto" switch sit right in the player controls
⌨️ 22 KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS
• Speed, seek, play/pause, volume, fullscreen, PiP, markers, frame-by-frame, A–B loops and audio boost
• Remap any action to any key or Ctrl/Alt/Shift combination
• Ready-to-go defaults: S/D speed, Z/X skip 10 seconds, R reset, G preferred speed, M/J markers, Alt+P PiP
• Shortcuts stay out of the way while you type
⚙️ FEELS BUILT IN
• Minimal dark popup for everyday controls, plus a full settings page
• Changes apply instantly, no page reloads
• Settings sync across your Chrome browsers; import and export as JSON
• Every feature can be switched off on its own
🔒 PRIVACY
• No account, no analytics, no tracking
• Speed, audio, shortcuts and ad cleanup all run locally in your browser
• Audio is never recorded or sent anywhere
• The only outside request: with dislike counts on, the current video's ID is sent to returnyoutubedislikeapi.com. Turn dislikes off to stop it.
GOOD TO KNOW
• Dislike counts are estimates, not official YouTube data.
• YouTube changes often, so some ad formats may still get through.
• Automatic Picture-in-Picture works when Chrome allows it; the player's PiP button always works.
