  • Added features:
    • Keep the volume synced between tabs
    • Set an initial volume level once per tab
    • Hide the cursor after a set amount of inactivity while hovering over the video
    • Show a thumbnail overlay over the video element (or open the thumbnail in a new tab) automatically and/or manually, depending on configuration
    • ?si parameter is removed in YT's share menu too now
    • Added an "above-queue" button to clear the currently playing queue / playlist
    • Fix rendering issues when using HDR
    • Disable the Dark Reader extension on both pages (because it messes up the layout)
  • Changes / Fixes:
    • Improved the config menu
      • Created new toggle input (because checkboxes don't come close to looking as good)
      • Added an advanced mode option that reveals a set of hidden settings, and lots of new settings that were previously not configurable
      • Improved styling and layout of menu substantially, especially when using different languages
      • Now an option to open the config menu is shown on YT too
      • Made a bunch of features not require a page reload anymore
    • Fixed tooltip that is set on the wrong element
    • Fixed queue buttons not being shown when navigating with tab key
    • Tons of accessibility improvements for screenreader users (feedback regarding this is strongly welcome!)
  • Internal Changes:
    • Improved script performance
      • Implemented new SelectorObserver instances to improve overall performance by quite a lot
        • Implemented rising-edge debounce for SelectorObserver instances to massively improve responsiveness
      • Added a cache to save lyrics in. Up to 1000 of the most listened to songs are saved throughout sessions for 30 days to save time and reduce server load.
    • Implemented new class BytmDialog for less duplicate code, better maintainability, the ability to make more menus easier and for them to have better accessibility
    • Expanded plugin interface
    • Added an experimental fuzzy filtering algorithm when fetching lyrics to eventually yield more accurate results (hidden behind advanced mode because it's far from perfect)


This version is almost finished but may still contain a few tiny bugs.
It is highly recommended you fully remove the script and reinstall it manually once the update is released.
