• Added features:
  • Added a feature to like songs and videos of certain channels (on both sites) automatically.

  • Made song/video time remembering enabled by default on YT too

  • Added Shift and Ctrl modifier keys to the above-queue buttons that will skip prompts or customize their behavior in other ways
  • Arrow key and number key skipping works more reliably and now also in the config menu
  • Changed default settings for some features.
    After updating, if the values were unchanged from their previous default, they will automatically have the new default value:
  • Remember Song Time Sites: if set to YTM only, it changes to both sites
  • Volume Slider Scroll Sensitivity: if set to 10%, it changes to 4%
  • Made some settings require advanced mode that didn't before:
  • Fix spacing/layout issues
  • Fix HDR issues
  • Disable Dark Reader sites
  • Remove share tracking parameter sites
  • Placement of list/queue buttons
  • Removed broken feature "remove upgrade tab"
  • Removed unnecessary experimental feature "advancedLyricsFilter" as the API's native search improved a lot
  • Made all integration features configurable and gave them their own config category
  • Created a prompt dialog to replace the browser's native dialogs, which could accidentally be turned off by the user and would softlock the script
  • Made all <code> tags use the Cascadia Code font
• Fixes:
  • Fixed major bug that threw "This document requires 'TrustedHTML' assignment" errors on Chromium browsers
  • Adjusted script to UI redesign of playlists
  • Fixed song list buttons disappearing when dragging the row around
  • Fixed song list buttons not always appearing immediately
  • Fixed escape closing all open dialogs instead of one at a time
  • Fixed "added to liked songs" toast not being consistently closed
  • Fixed messed up time restoration feature on YT because of the &t param
  • Fixed broken autoplay queue delete button after a redesign
  • Fixed transparent player bar background in fullscreen being barely readable with thumbnail overlay active
  • Fixed thumbnail overlay not updating in fullscreen mode and in the mini player
  • Fixed video time restoring breaking after pausing for a longer time
  • Fixed toasts being shown with a 1000x higher duration than intended
  • Fixed volume slider features not working anymore when display width shrinks to below 1150px

• Added features:
  • Keep the volume synced between tabs
  • Set an initial volume level once per tab
  • Hide the cursor after a set amount of inactivity while hovering over the video
  • Show a thumbnail overlay over the video element (or open the thumbnail in a new tab) automatically and/or manually, depending on configuration
  • ?si parameter is removed in YT's share menu too now
  • Added an "above-queue" button to clear the currently playing queue / playlist
  • Fix rendering issues when using HDR
  • Disable the Dark Reader extension on both pages (because it messes up the layout)
• Changes / Fixes:
  • Improved the config menu
  • Created new toggle input (because checkboxes don't come close to looking as good)
  • Added an advanced mode option that reveals a set of hidden settings, and lots of new settings that were previously not configurable
  • Improved styling and layout of menu substantially, especially when using different languages
  • Now an option to open the config menu is shown on YT too
  • Made a bunch of features not require a page reload anymore
  • Fixed tooltip that is set on the wrong element
  • Fixed queue buttons not being shown when navigating with tab key
  • Tons of accessibility improvements for screenreader users (feedback regarding this is strongly welcome!)
• Internal Changes:
  • Improved script performance
  • Implemented new SelectorObserver instances to improve overall performance by quite a lot
    • Implemented rising-edge debounce for SelectorObserver instances to massively improve responsiveness
  • Added a cache to save lyrics in. Up to 1000 of the most listened to songs are saved throughout sessions for 30 days to save time and reduce server load.
  • Implemented new class BytmDialog for less duplicate code, better maintainability, the ability to make more menus easier and for them to have better accessibility
  • Expanded plugin interface
  • Added function to register plugins (see contributing guide)
    All plugins that are not registered will have restricted access to the BetterYTM API (subject to change in the future).
  • Plugins are now given access to more functions and classes - see contributing guide
  • Added an experimental fuzzy filtering algorithm when fetching lyrics to eventually yield more accurate results (hidden behind advanced mode because it's far from perfect)
  • Resource URL versioning was improved, so all versions from now on will still work in the future when the URLs could change
