  • Mini player (picture in picture)
  • Visualizations
  • Many different options to customize look and behavior
  • Open Source (https://github.com/afrmtbl/InstantView)

Latest Update: v4.7.0
    FIXES
    - Allowing InstantView access to your YouTube account is now possible again through the sign in button in the options page

    CHANGES
