  YouTube is bloated. Loud ads, auto-playing videos you didn't ask for, no volume control with your scroll wheel, and 480p when your screen can do 4K. Helping Actions For YouTube™ fixes all of it — one lightweight extension, zero tracking, completely free. 🎬✨
  It's the YouTube upgrade Google should've shipped years ago. Every feature works instantly — no accounts, no setup, no data leaving your browser. 🔒
  🎥 Auto HD — Every video starts in your preferred quality. 4K, 1080p, 720p — you pick once, it remembers forever.
  🔊 Volume Scroll — Mouse wheel over the player adjusts volume instantly. Supports touch drag and right-click drag too. Beautiful on-screen display.
  🎬 Cinema Mode + 🌈 Ambient Glow — Dims the entire page and projects real-time colors from the video edges behind the player. Like Ambilight, but free.
  ⚡ Better Ads — One-click "Skip Ad" button + auto-mute during ads. No more blasted eardrums.
  🧘 Focus Mode + 🍅 Pomodoro — Hides Shorts, recommendations, comments, and homepage feed in one toggle. Built-in Pomodoro timer pauses your video on break.
  ↪️ Shorts Redirect — Automatically sends every /shorts/ URL to the full video player with real controls.
  📜 Transcript Search — Opens a searchable transcript panel. Click any line to jump to that moment. Perfect for studying, research, or finding that one quote.
  📷 Screenshot Gallery — Capture any frame as PNG/JPEG/WebP. Saved to a local gallery you can browse and export anytime.
  📊 Watch Statistics — Track your daily and weekly watch time, top channels, and viewing history — all stored locally on your device.
  🔇 Volume Normalization — Auto-adjusts loudness across videos so switching from a quiet podcast to a loud music video doesn't destroy your ears.
  🎯 Precise A-B Loop — Set exact start/end points with frame-step controls. Built for musicians, language learners, and anyone who replays sections.
  🔀 Playlist Actions — Shuffle, reverse, or sort any playlist by duration or date. Right on the page.
  💾 Per-Channel Settings — Save speed, quality, filter, and cinema preferences for individual channels. They apply automatically.
  🎨 11 Video Filters — Grayscale, sepia, vintage, warm, cool, and more. Change the vibe.
  🌓 Light / Dark Mode — Force YouTube into light or dark theme with one click. Or let it use its own.
  ⌨️ Full Keyboard Shortcuts — Shift+C (cinema), Shift+S (snapshot), Shift+F (focus), Shift+T (transcript), frame-step with comma/period, and more.
  100% free. No account needed. No data collected. No remote servers. Everything stays on your device. 🛡️
