Hide the YouTube progress bar so highlight videos don't give away the outcome Ever had a YouTube highlight spoiled just by glancing at the progress bar, or missed subtitles because the bottom control bar covered them? "YouTube Status Bar Hider" solves both problems at once. ① It hides the progress bar, time display, and thumbnail duration badges to prevent spoilers, and ② removes the bottom control bar so subtitles are never blocked. 🎬 Key Features 🚫 Spoiler Prevention Hides the progress bar, remaining time, scrubber, and chapter preview on the video you're watching, along with thumbnail duration badges on the home feed, search results, and related videos. No more guessing when the big moment happens just by looking at how much of the progress bar is left, or figuring out a video's content from its thumbnail duration. 💬 No More Blocked Subtitles YouTube's bottom control bar pops up every time you move your mouse, often covering or cutting off subtitles at the bottom of the screen. This extension hides the control bar itself using CSS injection, with no flicker, so subtitles stay fully visible no matter how much you move your mouse. ⌨️ Instant ON/OFF with a Shortcut Toggle instantly with the default shortcut Shift+P, or customize it to any key combination you like. 🔔 ON/OFF Status Toast Notification A small toast shows your current status whenever you use the shortcut or interact with playback. Fine-tune its position, color, opacity, and animation from the options page. 🔄 Real-time Sync Across Popup and Tabs Powered by chrome.storage, your settings always stay in sync across the popup, options page, and multiple YouTube tabs. 👤 Who It's For - Sports highlight viewers who don't want to guess the scoring moment just from how much progress bar is left in a match recap - Drama/variety binge-watchers who don't want a review video's remaining time to hint at how the story ends - Anyone bothered by thumbnail spoilers, where just seeing the duration badge gives away what kind of video it is - Viewers of foreign-language content with subtitles, tired of the control bar covering captions every time the mouse moves 💬 Reviews "I used to guess the score just from the progress bar during match highlights — now it actually feels like watching live." — sports fan "Subtitles kept getting cut off by the control bar on foreign videos. With this on, I can read every line without interruption." — subtitle viewer "Being able to toggle it instantly with a shortcut means my viewing flow never gets interrupted." — daily YouTube user 🔒 Privacy This extension does not collect or transmit any user data. All settings (ON/OFF state, custom shortcut, toast customization) are stored locally in your browser via chrome.storage only. ℹ️ App Info Price: Free Supported languages: Korean, English, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified), German, Spanish, French, Portuguese (Brazil) Contact: devyjy@gmail.com Privacy Policy: https://yoonjiyong.github.io/youtube-statusbar-hider/privacy-policy.html
