alternatives to enhancer for youtube?

what are some good alternatives for enhancer for youtube since it's not available in firefox addons anymore?

the only features about it that i care about are

  • the volume booster
  • disable autoplay
  • prevent videos loaded in background tabs from automatically playing
  • prevent videos loaded in the foreground tab from automatically playing as well
  • completely stop videos instead of only preventing autoplay
  • pause videos playing in background tabs when a video starts playing in the foreground tab
  • automatically enable youtube's ‘theater mode’
  • automatically expand the video player
  • use the available space based on the viewport dimensions to expand the video player
  • convert shorts

the adblocker i just use ublock origin for anyway and the dark mode i just use dark reader

I hadn't noticed. Why has it gone, do you know?

officially the developer mentioned that the changes the youtube devs broke it completely in firefox and slightly broke it in chrome so he stopped it temporarily.

I hope @MaximeRF find the time/motivation to fix it. I just was reminded it'd gone when I went to use the boost volume feature.

I hope ad-blocking isn't the blocker, because uBlock Origin handles that (although I suppose uBO doesn't cover things like channel whitelisting).

but you can also get youtube channel whitelist for ublock origin to do that! https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-channel-whitelist/

I thought you were talking about the volume boost thing at first and was really surprised.

FYI: I keep using it, it kind-of-works for me if I open the tab in the background and let it load (< 1min) before focusing on it. It also works if I'm not logged in (e.g.: in incognito mode).
