Chrome Extensions for YouTube
Sunday, November 14, 2010
I’m a movie buff, and love getting excited for upcoming releases by checking out
trailers on YouTube
. It’s easy and convenient to watch the trailers online, but I’ve often wished I could get closer to the theater experience in my browser. So I did some research, and found a few really handy
Chrome extensions
that can make your YouTube viewing experience bigger and better.
For example,
Window Expander for YouTube
maximizes YouTube videos to fill your entire browser. With
Turn Off the Lights
, you can make the entire page outside the video fade to dark like you’re in a movie theater. Not sure whether a video is worth viewing? The
OpinionCloud
extension summarizes comments on YouTube (and Flickr!), so you can quickly get the crowd’s overall opinion.
And just recently the Google team released
YouTube Feed
, which notifies you whenever new videos are available in your YouTube homepage feed. You can directly access videos that your friends upload, rate and like right in your browser.
There are many other useful extensions in the
gallery
to make your YouTube experience more customized. Find out more about Google Chrome extensions
here
, or by checking out the video below.

Instantly zap YouTube videos to your Android phone with Chrome to Phone
Thursday, August 12, 2010
Ever wanted a way to quickly and easily send YouTube videos and other information from your desktop or laptop to your phone to view on the go? The new
Chrome to Phone extension
adds a button to your Google Chrome browser that instantly sends the current YouTube video, web page, map, or selected phone number or text to your Android device running
Froyo
(or Android 2.2).
Suppose you're mid-way through a scintillating
15-minute video
and you have to run to an appointment. Simply click the extension icon in your browser to send the video’s link to your phone and the device's browser will automatically open the link, ready for you to view on the go.
The Chrome to Phone extension is available in English for now, but we hope to expand to other languages soon. Check out the
help center
if you have further questions.
To get Chrome to Phone, install the
Chrome to Phone extension
in your Google Chrome browser and the Android application on your phone, and you’re ready to go.
