Quickview for YouTube Extension

Watch videos without leaving your YouTube subscriptions feed page, and possibly without ever clicking.

Hover over thumbnails in your feed page to view that video. How about thumbnails at the side of a video page? That works too!

Q: What's better than a nice subscriptions feed page that you can scroll forever?
A: A page where you can scroll forever AND watch videos.

P.S. This is open-source at https://github.com/ngzhian/quickview

FairySlash (ID: 000000598f4d588a) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/10/2023 it works great, but the delay option doesn't actually delay the video showing up like I think was the intention? I set it to the equivalent of a minute of delay and it still shows up in a couple of seconds. I set it to all 9s, up until the max, and got the same result.

Miguel Garza (ID: 000000226052b14b) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 03/02/2023 Works quite well but because it works on so many pages now, it's unintentionally annoying...because I forget that it exists and then suddenly videos start playing simply because my mouse cursor stopped moving while over a thumbnail. Would be nice if we could set which pages it works on. Also, it'd be really nice if maybe it only worked while you held down a certain key, such as one of the modifier keys (Ctrl, Alt, Shift, etc). If this were configurable, that would be amazing.
