YT Originalizer - Original Only

About

Make YouTube play the original audio—automatically.
No dubs. No settings hunting. No data collection.

What it does

Forces the original audio track when multiple tracks exist (e.g., “English (Original)”).

Works locally in your browser—no data collected, no external requests.

Keeps your UI language unchanged (menus stay in your language).

Why it’s useful

Avoid auto-dubbed audio that can be confusing or low quality.

Set it once; it just works in the background.

Lightweight by design—no heavy menus, no trackers.

How to use

Install the extension.

Open a YouTube video on youtube.com.

If multiple audio tracks are available, it picks the Original automatically.

Privacy

The extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data.

All logic runs on your device only.

Permissions

Runs as a content script on youtube.com.

No additional permissions. No remote code.

Notes & limitations

Only affects videos that actually provide more than one audio track.

Does not change subtitles/closed captions.

Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or produced by Google/YouTube.
