Jaden (ID: 000000ffbc143329) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/20/2023 Great features that I use everyday. Biggest ones for me are re-sizing video so it fills the whole screen without being fullscreen, forcing a specific resolution instead of whatever YouTube chooses (usually 480p), hiding the top bar, and built-in ad blocker. Devs seem pretty responsive and quick to solve issues, so that's great too.
