Description

YouTube Audio Mode: Audio-First, Data-Light Love listening to YouTube but hate the data drain? This extension creates a seamless audio-focused experience by automatically forcing YouTube to its lowest technical video setting (144p), saving you the maximum amount of data possible while keeping your music playing. Key Features: Maximum Data Efficiency: Automatically switches video to the lowest resolution to ensure your data is spent on high-quality audio, not pixels. The Visualizer Overlay: Don't want to see a blurry 144p video? Our stunning visualizer covers the player, giving you a beautiful "Music Player" interface. One-Click Toggle: Switch between "Audio-First" and "Standard Video" instantly with a shortcut or a click. Privacy Centric: No data leaves your browser. Your stats and settings are yours alone. Note on Data Saving: Since YouTube requires a video stream to function, this extension optimizes it to the absolute minimum (144p). This provides the best balance of data savings and playback stability.

Edit: I know very well that this is the only way to reduce bandwidth usage, but your extensions' claims are totally misleading and I wonder how Chrome Web Store allows this. I saw that you have updated now your extension's description, describing exactly what it does. This extension claims to keep only the audio, but all it actually does is hide the video and lower the quality. On top of that, there are several other issues, like not being able to use YouTube video settings while the extension is enabled, and the extension failing to detect new tabs with songs playing unless the page is refreshed. It makes me wonder whether the other reviews and users are even real...
