About

YouTube, but better. BetterYT adds the small features YouTube should have had all along. Like a mini player that floats while you scroll, dislike counts that actually show up, and a theater mode that doesn't hide chat.

Features:
🎬 Mini Player – Scroll down and keep watching
👎 Dislike Counter – See what YouTube hides (via Return YouTube Dislike API)
💬 Twitch-style Theater – Chat stays pinned during livestreams
🖼️ Picture-in-Picture – Pop the video out with one click
📝 Side Comments – Comments beside the video, not buried below

All features are optional, enable only what you want!
