Please join us! And let's re-define "extensions"! Why are they often unfunded & neglected?

Historic Introduction
ImprovedTube,
is an extension we built to refine your YouTube experience. A powerful one-stop-shop with many features to enhance YouTube, yet liteweight. Be it a larger player or more tidy / studious YouTube UI, hiding distractions. And there was so much left to build and are many clever features to come still. ImprovedTube is designed with our own UI library: Satus (to manage your settings efficiently & create familiar apps/'cousins easily.) Please spread the word: ImprovedTube is the only project of it's kind, because other open Youtube Extensions resigned. No other project provides so much CSS to adjust a website🦄.
Some ImprovedTube features:
- Video quality
- Themes and customisation
- Repeat-, screenshot-, rotate-buttons
- Pop-up player
- Ads management
- Hide Cards and Annotations
- Customise video page appearance (always expand description, hide related videos etc.)
- Channel page customisations
- Customisation of hotkeys/shortcuts
- Statistics
- Volume mixer Full list
