Bookmark this page if you don't have time to read it now or if you want to retrieve the instructions it contains later!
What's new
This version brings improvements and is compatible with the upcoming Material Design version of YouTube.
Chrome has started blocking Flash® content!
If you use Chrome version 53 or later you have probably noticed that Flash® content has become click-to-play on a multitude of websites.

Here are a few samples of what you can write if you're not inspired:

Amount: Currency: Improve your user experience on YouTube
My other extension, Enhancer for YouTube, has all the features you need to improve your user experience on YouTube. It is used by hundreds of thousands users who have rated it 4.74/5 and who have posted hundreds of positive reviews. It is really easy to use and allows you to control volume level and playback speed with the mouse wheel, remove ads from videos (automatically or on-demand), remove annotations, disable autoplay and preloading for videos loaded in background tabs, automatically play videos in HD or any other format, loop videos (in part or in whole), and much more... So take a few seconds to try it, it's really worth it!

Note: The Material Design version is still in development. If you don't see the new version after having followed these instructions it means that YouTube refuses to let you try it out.
