Magic Actions for YouTube

Magic Actions for YouTube also shows up as a bar under all videos on YouTube, so you can easily access its settings and see what percentage of the current video has buffered so far. It lets you hide page sections, too, so if you don't like the comment threads on YouTube you can simply make them all go away.

YouTube is still one of the top video-sharing Web sites in the world. If you're a Google Chrome user who spends time on the popular site, Mixesoft has released Magic Actions, a free add-on for your browser that is designed to enhance the experience of watching YouTube videos.

Magic Actions provides a number of functionalities that are easy to use and help streamline and customize your video viewing. These include such features as automatic high resolution and pre-defined color themes. Adjusting the settings to your desired preference will provide a default resolution for all videos to be played. Other cool features include the ability to hide player controls as well as video annotations. We also liked the ability to adjust volume by simply scrolling the mouse. The only thing Magic Actions can't correct is bad resolution, since the screen is enlarged and the resolution will only get worse.

With Magic Actions for YouTube, you can customize just about any aspect of the YouTube experience. Stop videos from automatically playing as you load the page; automatically pick the highest resolution available, or a resolution of your choice; automatically use a wide player, and more. You can pick and choose customizations using a simple interface that consists mainly of checkboxes.

If you're a YouTube junkie who uses Google Chrome, Magic Actions is a free extension that can help you view videos exactly the way you want to. We found no issues with software installation and uninstallation during the review.
