The best YouTube tricks to get the most out of it

Surely, for some time now, in your experience with YouTube you will notice that very little has changed. It may be even tedious each time and with powers that are not excessively striking. To solve this, we are going to present you with a series of tools so that managing YouTube is much better.

There have always been developers who have made sites, extensions and even applications to make YouTube different, more dynamic or to solve errors or inconveniences of Google’s social network.

There are many places or applications where the improvement over what YouTube offers natively is significant, something that Google developers should pay attention to, since the social network would gain several integers.

But hey, we already know that YouTube is not a website very given to radical changes and that certain parts, algorithms and policies are so extremely secret that it borders on paranoia on many occasions.

In short, what concerns us today is the opposite, that is, options that we are going to have within our reach so that the platform works better and is more manageable, attractive and fun.

Tools we are going to use:

YouTube caption

Many YouTube videos come with subtitles, either because they have been added by the person who uploaded it or because YouTube itself has that power active. But there are many others who do not have this ability and if you do not know the language you will not understand it.

Well, we have at our disposal YouTube caption What is it able to extract the text from a video and even with integrated timestamps.

we should only copy and paste the video url in the box, then press the search icon. After a few seconds, we will see the preview of the video with all its subtitles listed below.

It is the ideal way to be able to watch a movie in another language or even a YouTube conference, since it gives you the opportunity to see the full text and everything that has been said.

Tell you that this tool only works with videos that already have subtitles.

SponsorBlock

If you don’t want me to skip advertising on a video before you start, you can choose to go YouTube Premium and pay what that means or you can get an ad blocker.

The problem is that neither of these solutions is able to block advertising within the video that the creator of the same has put, to give you an example.

That’s why it’s so necessary SponsorBlock, since it can skip all the advertising that the rest cannot. It is extremely powerful, as well as being an open source plugin.

It uses a combination of algorithms and a system of upvotes and downvotes to identify sponsored content. At the moment we are watching the video we will receive an alert when the extension misses a sponsorship. It gives us the options to see the ad, report it or do nothing.

Rabbit Hole for YouTube

Surely more than once they have been done to you hours on YouTube unintentionally.

For example, a friend has sent you a video, you have seen it, but the social network itself advises you of another and you see it, and then on the sides you see another one that looks good and you also see it, until you realize that you were going to see only one and you carry many more.

Rabbit Hole for YouTube is a extension created so that this does not happen. It is capable of leaving suggested content blank, hides comments and chats that might be active, and even disables suggestion videos. In return, what you are going to see are bunnies.

It is not only valid for YouTube, but also can be used on normal websites, although it was generated explicitly for this social network. Block everything that can distract us from the main part.

YT Cutter

This tool has several different purposes. With YT Cutter we will can download a part of a youtube videothe one we like so much, forgetting the rest.

If there is something this tool has, it is its ease of use, tremendously simple and also extremely fluid.

We just need to copy and paste YouTube-URLs and it will immediately start playing.

At that time we must use the Start field for when we want the clip to start and the end field for the end. You will be able to see how many seconds the clip that we have created lasts and we will have at our disposal a preview button to check it before downloading it definitively.

It can be downloaded at MP4 video formatin a gif-file or as a MP3 audio file.

If we decide on an MP4, it will be downloaded with the resolution in which we watch the video, so if we want high resolution, the video must be like that before opening it.

Enhancer for YouTube

Enhancer for YouTube It is a extension that manages to encompass different functions that can help us to get more out of YouTube

For example, it allows us to control the sound volume with the mouse wheel, remove the automatic playback of the videos, also the preloading of these, automatically play the videos in a predefined format, manage ads, control the playback speed and even delete ads automatically or as directed by us.

It is an extension with many possibilities and all of them different so that we can give a different touch to the management of YouTube and that our experience with the social network is much more fluid and with many more possibilities,

With everything you’ve just seen, you already have a good number of new and different options, so that YouTube stops being the monotony that it has been for many years, since, except for some fairly slight modifications, the design, handling, interface and fluency is the same thing we have been seeing in recent years.

We understand that Google could get a good grade from some of these tools and extensions, to improve its service and resemble what many users expect from the most important video social network in the world.

If you have tried everything that we have presented to you, you can tell us which one you liked the most on our social networks. We are waiting.
