YouTube has become one of the most popular video-viewing and sharing platforms in the world. Every month, there are hundreds of millions of unique users who view videos on YouTube. A limitation associated with YouTube is that it normally does not allow users to customize its look and feel, functionality and features. But the true power of a platform like YouTube can only be experienced when you are able to completely customize it to suit your personal needs and preferences.There is a very useful browser app called YouTube Options, which is available as a free download for both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.
Once you have installed the YouTube Options app in your browser, the YTO icon will appear in the URL address bar each time you go to Youtube. When you click on the YTO icon, a console interface will show up on the screen that will allow you to control just about everything related to your YouTube video-watching experience, including:
1. Size and resolution of videos
YouTube Options allows you to completely customize the size and resolution of any video that you are watching
2. Advertisements
If you don't like to watch the annoying ads before the start of YouTube videos, then you can choose to disable them using YouTube Options.
3. Look and feel of the YouTube screen
You can also control everything that gets displayed on the YouTube screen along with your video. You can get rid of anything that you don't like. For example, you can get rid of YouTube comments and suggested videos vertical column.
