In this case, you can use the FastStream extension, which replaces the video player on YouTube and other HTML-5 resources with a more customizable solution. And in addition to the load, you will get improved buffering and much more.
The player is available for Chrome and Firefox browsers. After installing it and activating it, when watching a video, you will immediately notice many interesting settings. For example, you can adjust the color parameters for the video, activate full preloading of the video into the buffer taking into account your connection speed, free up unnecessary channels from the buffer, remember where the video stopped, and much more.
In addition, an equalizer with several profiles is available for fine-tuning. If you have direct hands, you can adjust the sound in the video, taking into account your preferences and audio output device.
There are other interesting possibilities. For example, adding and searching your own subtitles, advanced sharing settings, fine control of video speed and quality, fast downloading of videos to a file.
