Description

Allows youtube videos to be opened in a popup (without changing pages)

Makes browsing YouTube quicker by opening videos in a popup when their thumbnails are clicked. InstantView also helps reduce the amount of YouTube tabs opened at a given time by allowing you to watch videos on the current page without the fear of losing your place.

Features
• Popup to quickly view videos, playlists, comments, and descriptions
• 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
- Removed the ratings bar now that YouTube now longer provides access to the dislikes count

The full version history can be found on GitHub.

MOTHER OF GOD YOU'VE DONE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been asking YouTube for almost a YEAR now to PLEASE allow for me to view videos just like this without having to leave my homepage! Sometimes I just need to see a snippet or a clip without being bounced around the internet. When I stopped doing that, I had over 200 tabs open with nothing but YOUTUBE! Needless to say, Chrome was crashing left and right. This is an absolute LIFESAVER!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so very, very much!!!!!!!!!! Can we please get rounded corners on the screen? Edit: One thing: Please Please LET US COMMENT on the video with the box! It's so helpful! Also, I'd like to be able to set a custom color so I can choose the level and opacity of the grey that I'm looking for. Thank you again for this! Edit #2: I'm noticing that the Main YouTube page doesn't load videos the same way. Must be something to do with their coding. :-( Real bummer. But still, if I click one video and want to see more in the related section, they come right up. Hoping we can get either an official fix or have this working on the main page. Thank you so, so much again for your hard work! Really loving this!!
