You can deactivate the extension by clicking the βQuitβ button: the extension remains installed and keeps local data, but no longer interferes with YouTube. βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ π΅ WHOβS LINKALOOP FOR? βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ Linkaloop was primarily developed for musicians and performing artists. As a hobbyist musician myself, I felt the need to share mixes of multiple performances from different channels without having to create a brand-new video or download videos I donβt own. Feel free to express your creativity, make remixes of any kind, and share them with the world! βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ ποΈ INTERFACE βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ The control bar A fixed bar appears at the bottom of the YouTube page, featuring: βΆοΈ Playback β prev / play-pause / stop / next to navigate the current playlist. π Loop β enables or disables looping back to the start of the playlist at the end. π€ Sleep timer β stops playback after a delay in minutes. π Sidebar β opens and closes the management panel. β Quit β disables the extension on the page (the bar disappears).
