Replace YouTube video with blurred artwork and request 144p while audio continues playing. Audio Mode for YouTube replaces the moving video with a blurred thumbnail while keeping YouTube audio playing. Turn Audio Mode on using the headphone button in the YouTube player or the extension popup. When enabled, the extension hides the video and asks YouTube to switch to 144p, helping reduce video processing and bandwidth. Turn it off to reveal the video and restore the previous quality when available.
