Hide YouTube™ Fullscreen Controls Extension

Does YouTube™ leave the video controls visible for longer than you like? Do you want to have a hotkey that toggles the controls?

This add-on let's you:
- Hide the video controls when you move the cursor to any border
- Hide the video controls and only show them when you want.
- Toggle the controls when you press a hotkey
- Hide some video overlays
- Hide the play/pause animation

In the add-on settings you can configure the individual sides as well as the hotkey.

If you experience any issues, please let me know at https://github.com/nralbrecht/youtube-hide-controls/issues

Note: The add-on currently does not work with embedded YouTube™ players.

이건한 (ID: 0000007750555d40) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/08/2023 Works perfectly, no annoying buggy behaviors like other extensions do. Also very easy to use

Drive 0001 (ID: 00000042a02c2dd1) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/17/2023 Does the Job perfectly. Whether its hiding the progress bas and the controls, or be it be the video overlays at the end of a video it works perfectly. You can also add your custom hotkey to hide controls. Bonus: even hides the play pause animation, thus giving us a clear screen with no interrupts in the video.
