AlwaysVisible Extension

This Chrome extension enhances your YouTube viewing experience by allowing you to position the video controls outside of the video player screen, making them always visible and easily accessible. With this extension, you can toggle between the default YouTube control settings and the 'always visible' mode, ensuring that you never have to hover over the video to access the playback controls. This feature provides a more convenient and uninterrupted viewing experience, especially useful for those who frequently adjust video settings.
