About

# Feature Suite for YouTube™

Feature Suite is a powerful, lightweight browser extension designed to fix annoyances and add "Power User" tools to YouTube. It focuses on restoring missing data, improving the player experience, and giving you precise control over playback.

## 🚀 Key Features

### 📅 Metadata Restored
* **Exact Dates & Times:** Replaces vague "2 years ago" text with the exact upload timestamp (e.g., `Jan 8, 2026 • 8:47 PM`).
* **Show Dislikes:** Restores the dislike count on all videos using the Return YouTube Dislike API.

### 🎬 Video Player Upgrades
* **Windowed Fullscreen:** Fills your browser window completely without going into full-screen mode. Perfect for Multitasking or Ultrawide monitors.
* **A-B Looping:** Set precise "Start" and "End" points to loop specific sections of a video.
* **Scroll Wheel Volume:** Hover over the video player and scroll to adjust volume.
* **Default Quality:** Force videos to always load in your preferred quality (e.g., 4K or 1080p).
* **Auto-Resume:** Remembers exactly where you left off, even if you close the tab.

### 🧹 Interface Cleanup
* **Hide Status Overlays:** Removes the intrusive "Theater Mode" and "Captions look like this" popups.
* **Hide End Cards:** Prevents "Watch Next" boxes from blocking the last 20 seconds of a video.
* **Hide Watermarks:** Removes channel branding logos.
* **Feed Filters:** Option to hide Shorts, Comments, or the Sidebar recommendations.
* **Comments in Sidebar:** Moves the comments section to the right sidebar so you can read while watching.
