Extension Usage Instructions

                        PlayerTube is a free browser extension that is used for editing and changing up the style of the current YouTube player, to a more older (and better) look. PlayerTube has a good amount of features that can be either enabled or disabled from its menu. More than that, users can customize the style of their player and share it across the web for others to use.

Latest update (v1.7):
This update took too long to make... But I can say that this extension is now 90% stable & finished.
* Fix #20 -- "narrow video is stretched (zoomed) to fit".
* Fix #24 -- "[ Bug ] Embed Fixes & Resize Issues | [ 3rd-party ] YouTube Redux messes with PlayerTube".
* Volume icon now changes when the user set the volume below 75% & 25% using current volume detection.
* Added "no-left-button" & "no-right-button" detection for themes that need it (like 2006).
* Remade the Watch Later button used in 2012 & 2011 due to issues.
* Allow "Alternate Theme" to be used when "Custom Themes" are enabled, allowing users to use the alternate buttons from that alternate theme.
* Fix the clip icon by the time display for clips on the 2006 theme (using this clip lol).
* Fix past update logs.
* Fixed multiple other small details CSS-wide.
* Update GitHub issue templates.
