Radio Mode for YouTube™: Remove Video and Focus on Audio

Radio Mode for YouTube™ is a free Chrome add-on developed by stanton119. It falls under the category of Browsers and specifically belongs to the subcategory of Add-ons & Tools. This program allows users to replace background YouTube™ videos with more efficient audio, reducing distractions.

With Radio Mode for YouTube™, users can easily remove the video from the YouTube™ page and focus solely on the audio. This is particularly useful when listening to music on YouTube™ in the background. By removing the video, users can experience fewer distractions and enjoy a smoother browsing experience.

To activate Radio Mode, simply click on the radio icon in the YouTube™ player. If you are playing a playlist, every video will be automatically blanked out, allowing you to solely focus on the audio.

It’s important to note that this add-on only works with the HTML5 YouTube™ player. Videos that are forced to play in Flash, such as VEVO, will not be affected by the plugin. Additionally, while Radio Mode for YouTube™ reduces CPU usage and potential distractions, it does not save on bandwidth.

Based on usage with a single video playing, Radio Mode for YouTube™ reduces CPU usage by approximately 50%. It’s worth mentioning that YouTube™ is a trademark of Google Inc. and the use of this trademark is subject to Google Permissions.
