BetterYTM-Mirror

BetterYTM

Lots of configurable layout and UX improvements for YouTube Music

Features:

All of these can be toggled and configured in the configuration menu.

• Layout:
  • Open any song's lyrics on genius.com which generally has higher quality than YouTube's providers
  • Quick actions on songs in a queue, to quickly open their lyrics or remove them from the queue
  • Set a custom size and step resolution for the volume slider and show a percentage label next to it
  • Improvements to clickability of song titles and thumbnails when wanting to open them in a new tab
  • Quickly scroll to the currently active song in the queue by clicking a button
  • Remove the tracking parameter from URLs in the share menu
  • Automatically close permanent notifications
  • Remove the premium tab in the sidebar
• Input:
  • Use arrow keys to skip forward or backward by 10 seconds
  • Press number keys to skip to a percentage of the currently playing song
  • Switch between YouTube and YouTube Music on a video by pressing the hotkey F9
  • Prevent the "unsaved data" popup that sometimes appears before leaving the site
    

... and more!

Installation:

Requires a userscript manager browser extension.
I really recommend ViolentMonkey: Firefox • Chrome • Edge

Once you have the extension, click the install button above!

Note: the unsafeWindow grant is required due to limitations in some browsers, see this issue for more info.

Development:

This project is based on my extensive template for making a userscript with TypeScript and many modern language and convenience features.
