best chrome extensions for youtube video download

Video Preview extension lets you see three preview images picked from a video to give you an idea of the content it offers. On top of that, it also shows you a bar on the bottom of the featured image suggesting the likes and dislikes on the video. YouTube videos usually have a single display picture to tell you what it’s about, but it can be a little hard to guess the content it features.

It can also automatically play the video when buffering is complete, or play it when it knows that the video will play smoothly afterwards (based on your internet speed).

You can configure the extensions to make sure YouTube videos start buffering as soon as the page loads, instead of waiting for the video to start.

It’s a buffer control extension that gives you full control over how the buffering of a video works. If you have a slower internet connection, which results in videos on YouTube to be forever stuck in buffering, you should give SmartVideo a try. Furthermore, these features work on all the web pages it is not just limited to YouTube. Some of its other features include, night mode for easy browsing in the dark, screensaver, password protection, camera motion detection, voice commands and more. Additionally, you can change the color of the fade to any color you like, so you are no more limited to the Black fade color. You have full control over the opacity of the faded background and you can also automate the process. The Turn Off the Lights extension offers the theater mode feature with loads of customization options.

While Magic Actions offers the cinema mode feature, where the background is dimmed and video is put in focus, it is fairly limited.
