Speed hotkeys for every video on the web, quality that sticks, and a feed without Shorts, reruns and clutter. One small extension, everything switchable.
Turn on only what you need. Every feature has its own switch, and the popup keeps the most used ones one click away.
Not only YouTube: any video on any website. Your last speed is remembered browser-wide, pitch is preserved, and a small badge shows the new speed. Keys and step size are yours to change.
Pick 4K, 1080p or anything else once. If it isn't available, the next best one is chosen — and the high-bitrate version when there is one.
Shorts everywhere, Mixes, surveys, Playables, “Explore new topics”, live streams on Subscriptions, watched videos — each one separately.
Recommendations you've already scrolled past three times quietly disappear, so your home page finally shows something new.
Empty Watch Later or any playlist you own with one click, instead of removing hundreds of videos by hand.
Block channels and title keywords (regex too), hide videos by length, members-only and premieres. Dim instead of hide if you prefer.
Default volume, captions on or off, no autoplay, theater mode, pause when the tab is hidden or another video starts.
Hide comments, sidebar, end cards, live chat or promo strips. Set videos per row and your own progress bar color.
Fine-tune thresholds, shortcuts and filters. Back up all settings to a JSON file and restore them on another computer.
Kolay for YouTube has no server, no analytics and no account. It never sends anything anywhere — settings live in your browser's own storage. Read the privacy policy.
Works on Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi and Firefox.
Chrome Web Store for Chrome, Edge, Brave and other Chromium browsers; Firefox Add-ons for Firefox.
Click the puzzle icon in the toolbar and pin Kolay for YouTube. The popup holds the most used switches.
Open “All settings…” to tune hiding rules, shortcuts and the player. Changes apply instantly.
Only because the speed hotkeys work on videos on every site. That part of the extension does nothing but listen for your shortcut keys and change the playback speed of <video> elements. It reads nothing else and sends nothing anywhere. If you don't need that, you can limit site access from your browser's extension settings.
Free, with no ads, no premium tier and no tracking. The full source code is on GitHub.
Yes. With Premium, the quality setting can even pick the “enhanced bitrate” version automatically.
YouTube changes its layout often. Please open an issue on GitHub; turning on Settings → General → Debug log helps a lot.
Yes. Settings are kept across updates, and you can export them to a file at any time.
Free for Chrome and Firefox. Takes a few seconds.
