TubeWizard on a YouTube watch page

Auto HD + Buffer / Speed HUD on a watch page

TubeWizard options panel

One-click settings popup

Features

  • Single Playback — Only one YouTube video plays across all your tabs. A video takes over only when you actively click play; opening videos in background tabs won't interrupt what you're watching, and switching to a non-YouTube tab keeps your current video going.
  • Auto HD + FPS — Automatically set your preferred resolution (up to 4K/2160p) and frame rate on every video, with optional fallback to the next best quality.
  • Disable Picture-in-Picture — Block the PiP button and the PiP API.
  • Theater Mode — Always start videos in the wide theater layout.
  • Autoplay control — Mirror YouTube's "autoplay next" toggle to your preference.
  • Buffer + Speed HUD — Optional live buffer health and download speed in the player control bar, with zero extra network usage.
