Description
Customize, shuffle and play random videos from any YouTube channel. Do you have a favourite YouTube channel, but don't know what to watch? This extension is for you! The "Random YouTube Video" extension adds a "Shuffle" button to YouTube channel, video and shorts pages, which will play a truly random video from the current channel. Use the extension's popup to customize your experience even further! Level up your YouTube experience with these features: ✔ A new shuffle button that uses the native look and feel of YouTube - including dark mode - so it fits right in with the YouTube interface you're used to! ✔ Utilize a wide range of options to individualize your experience, such as ignoring shorts, only shuffling from the most recent videos or shuffling multiple videos into a playlist! ✔ A smart, 100% anonymous backend technology ensures that popular channels shuffle as fast as possible, no matter how many video uploads they have! ✔ ...and much more!

Feel free to open an issue on the project's GitHub page: https://github.com/NikkelM/Random-YouTube-Video Latest changes: v3.2.1 - Fixed the "Shuffle from" filters not being saved, which made them reset to "all videos on this channel". v3.2.0 - Fixed the shuffle button not being added to shorts pages. - Fixed buttons on the bottom right of videos on the video page being shifted right into the "More Videos" section if a shuffle button is present. - Fixed an issue where private or deleted videos could be chosen when shuffling. - Fixed videos being removed from the extension's saved channel data if a connection problem prevented the extension from checking whether they can still be watched. - Fixed videos that other users had added to the database being lost when the extension removed a video that is not available any more. - Fixed the extension assuming that channel data was saved to the database even if sending it had failed. - Fixed shuffling in multiple tabs at once discarding channel data that was saved by the other tab. - Fixed the daily YouTube API quota being used up by errors that never made a request to the YouTube API. - Fixed the saved custom API key being removed if a newly submitted key was invalid. - Fixed shuffling never finishing if the extension's database could not be reached. - Fixed the weekly check for API keys discarding the already saved keys if the database could not be reached. - Fixed some versions being listed twice in the version selection on the changelog page. - Reduced how often settings are written to the browser's synced storage, which could previously lead to errors when shuffling or browsing a lot. - Channel data is now only downloaded again if it actually changed, which makes shuffling faster and reduces the amount of data the extension transfers. - The shuffle button on shorts pages now matches the spacing and styling of YouTube's own buttons. - Shuffled shorts are now opened on the shorts page instead of in the normal video player, unless they are opened as part of a playlist. - The extension will now show a notice if the availability of multiple videos in a row cannot be checked. v3.1.14 - Added "before" filter options: You can now shuffle from videos uploaded before a given date or video ID, in addition to the existing "after" filters. - Fixed the shuffle button missing styling after a recent YouTube UI update. v3.1.13 - Added accessibility options: Under "Advanced Settings", choose to not show shuffle buttons on video or channel pages. - Added some smoothed animations to the popup when expanding and collapsing the advanced settings. v3.1.12 - Removed "tabs" permission from the extension, enhancing privacy. v3.1.11 - Changed the default settings to not open shuffled videos in a new tab. - Moved the informative text about remaining YouTube API quota to the advanced settings menu. - Updated the welcome page for a better experience.
