Qommandr of YouTube by CZONDI

Tired of wrestling with YouTube's defaults? Qommandr of YouTube gives you granular control over how YouTube and YouTube Music look and behave.

Every enhancement is a separate toggle. Turn on only what you want. Everything else stays out of the way.

FEED & LAYOUT
• Set video grid columns on Home and Subscriptions — 8, 12, 20, or any count from 1 to 20
• Show more (or all) lines of video and Shorts titles on Home and Subscriptions cards
• Customize the Shorts shelf on Home — columns per row, merge multiple shelves into one
• Customize the Shorts shelf on Subscriptions — columns per row, expand by default, optionally hide the expand button
• Hide Shorts, Live streams, and Mixes — per page or everywhere at once
• Hide sponsored cards, masthead ads, and companion ads beside the player
• Hide algorithmic clutter: "Most relevant" shelves, surveys, feed nudges, and more
• Fix section order when using a custom column count so feeds don't look broken
• Jump to the top or bottom of any feed with one click; scroll-to-bottom loads more content

PLAYER
• Set your preferred max quality — Auto, 720p, 1080p, 4K, up to 8K — on every watch and Shorts video
• Optionally remember quality picks from YouTube’s player settings menu
• See how long a video actually takes at 1.25×, 1.5×, 1.75×, and 2× before you press play
• Remember your preferred playback speed across every video and session
• Glance at current speed and time remaining without opening the settings panel
• Keep a progress bar, elapsed time, and remaining time visible when controls autohide
• Pop video into Picture-in-Picture with one click, or auto-activate PiP when you switch tabs
• Hide live chat for a full-width player on live streams
• Skip pre-roll and mid-roll video ads inside the player (refresh the tab after enabling)

PLAYLISTS
• Search playlists by name in the Save dialog — no more scrolling through hundreds of rows
• Sort your playlists by video length, title, or channel using YouTube's own API
• Click a playlist thumbnail to open the playlist page instead of autoplaying the first video
• Always see video position numbers, even when drag handles are visible
• Cap playlist sidebar width so it doesn't stretch across your screen

NAVIGATION
• Hide sidebar sections or individual links you never use — Shorts, Gaming, History, and more
• Keep Explore and Your Library expanded by default
• Unify sidebar link styles and strip separators and section titles for a cleaner look

YOUTUBE MUSIC
• Widen home carousels to fill your screen
• Open the track you're listening to on YouTube in one click — Music pauses automatically
• Picture-in-Picture for music videos
• Same scroll-to-top and scroll-to-bottom shortcuts as on YouTube
• Search playlists by name in the Save to playlist dialog
• Filter playlists in the left sidebar; Enter opens, plays, or opens and plays the first match
• Stop the mini-player bar from opening the player page by accident — only the expand button toggles it

PRIVACY & TRUST
• Runs only on youtube.com and music.youtube.com — nowhere else
• Works on Chrome, Edge, and Firefox

Open the extension popup from your toolbar, pick the features you want, and browse as usual. Most changes apply instantly — no page reload needed.

Made for power users, playlist curators, students, and anyone who spends serious time on YouTube and wants the interface to work their way.
