Ambient light for YouTube™

I really really really loved this extention, it is so lightweight and gets the work doen without a hickup, and if you tweak it enough, your whole screen virtually gets extended like a big video while the original video being the same. Totally recomended.

Brings Back the YouTube Ambient Mode – Amazing Extension! I love this extension! For some reason, YouTube removed the ambient lighting feature from my account, but this extension brings it back perfectly. It makes the viewing experience so much better, especially when watching videos in windowed or cinema mode. If you're using an ultrawide monitor, it even adds ambient light on the sides in fullscreen where black bars would normally be, making it feel much more immersive! Plus, it works sea... Show more

works great, even in cinema mode!

This is such an amazing extension to YouTube's orignal Ambient Lighting, I think it deserves more praise than this.... I request you can you develop this type of ambient lignting for more video streaming platform(s) like Disney+ and Prime Video.... That would be really amazing...

this need more downloads, suggestion: make the text so its white when ambient is black and it black when ambient is white

Everything is working perfectly fine. Please just fix the search bar. It remains black while playing videos.

Actually amazing, definitely comes in clutch on an OLED monitor.

It makes all background pure black rgb(0,0,0) which makes it uncomfortable to read comments.

You can change the background to any black/grey/white color you like via the "Background greyness" setting under the "Page content" category
