YouTube Highlight Player

Skips YouTube videos straight to the most-replayed or chapter-selected parts. No downloading or re-uploading.

**Stop scrubbing through YouTube videos looking for the good part. Let the video tell you where it is.** YouTube Highlight Player reads the "most replayed" data YouTube already collects for every popular video — the same curve you see under the seek bar — and uses it to play back only the sections other viewers actually watched the most. No AI guessing, no manual editing: just the video's own audience data, put to work. **How it works** Turn on "Play Selection Only" and the video jumps straight to its highest-engagement moments, skipping the rest automatically as you watch. Turn it off anytime to go back to the full video — nothing is downloaded, edited, or re-uploaded. It's your normal YouTube player, just smarter about where it spends your time. **No heatmap? No problem.** Plenty of videos don't have "most replayed" data yet — new uploads, smaller channels, lower view counts. For those, YouTube Highlight Player falls back to the video's own chapters (creator-added or auto-generated), so you can pick exactly which sections to watch. Videos with both get a simple tab switcher to flip between the two. **Built to stay out of your way** - A compact, glassmorphic control panel appears right next to the player — collapses to a small pill when you don't need it front and center. - See exactly how much time you're saving, updated live. - Works the moment you land on a video — no setup, no account, no configuration required. - A native toggle button lives right in YouTube's own player controls too, if you'd rather not glance at the panel at all. **Privacy, plainly** This extension has no backend server of its own. It doesn't sell data, and it never sends anything about what you watch — no video ID, title, or history — to anyone.
