About

YouTube quietly removed the Add to Queue and Watch Later hover buttons from video thumbnails. YT Restore brings them back — exactly where you'd expect them.

**What it adds:**

- A Queue button and a Watch Later button appear on every video thumbnail when you hover over it, positioned at the top-right corner
- Works on the YouTube home feed, search results, sidebar recommendations, and channel pages
- Shorts get a Queue button only (Watch Later is not supported by YouTube for Shorts)

**How it works:**

The buttons use YouTube's own native actions — the same ones triggered when you use the three-dot context menu. There's no custom API, no workarounds, and no risk of your queue or Watch Later list behaving differently than it would normally.

**Please note**
You will need to reload your YouTube tabs if you had them open when you installed this extension in order for it to work.
