ETA HUD on player • end-time badges on thumbnails • auto highest quality • playlist autoplay
Requires Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey. A lightweight, client-side script with no external dependencies, no network calls, and no telemetry — combining six quality-of-life improvements for YouTube.
Shows the clock time when the current video will end, displayed next to the duration counter in the player (• 21:37). Updates in real time as you seek. Accounts for playback speed — accurate at 1.5x, 2x, etc. Skips live streams automatically.
Single click on the time counter opens the session stats overlay. Double click opens the full viewing history dashboard.
Every video thumbnail gets a • HH:MM badge showing when the video would finish if you started watching it right now. Parsed directly from the existing duration label — no API calls. Refreshes on hover to stay accurate on long-open tabs. Works on the home page, search results, recommendations, and playlist views.
Forces the best available resolution on every video automatically. Uses YouTube's internal getAvailableQualityData API — more reliable than the legacy quality methods used by most scripts. Prefers Premium (higher-bitrate) streams when your account has access. Retries automatically if quality data isn't ready at page load.
Advances to the next playlist item when a video ends. Respects the loop button — single-video loop mode blocks auto-advance. Skips videos that cannot start due to region blocks or paywalls.
Forces 5 columns on the home page and subscriptions feed for a denser browsing experience.
Shows a summary overlay when a video ends — started at, ended at, wall time, actual watch time, number of pauses, and number of seeks. Not shown during playlist playback. Stats persist across page refreshes.
The bar chart icon in the top bar (before the Create button) opens the full viewing history dashboard with weekly, monthly, and yearly breakdowns of watch time, video count, and session behaviour. Data is stored locally in your browser using IndexedDB.
