Why does it need permission to Read and Change the data on _all_ of the websites that a user visits? There are so many cool extensions but most of them need access to every single domain - even if its functionality doesn't need it. Which is what keeps me (and probably a lot many other people) away from installing them.

I opened a PR to limit permissions to youtube.com; hopefully it will get merged: https://github.com/darajava/youtube-smooth/pull/24

I don't think you have the option to say "this app needs Read and Change for just this one domain," it's pretty much an all or nothing sort of deal. This one uses it to edit the page on YouTube, so it has to require it for all.
You do have that option. WikiTube, mentioned elsewhere in this thread, only requires read & change permissions for "all wikipedia.org sites".
I mean YouTube UI is a disgrace really, what is it about big companies that stop them from being able to do design properly (even Apple post Jobs is starting to experience this).
Probably because it becomes design by committee at a certain point, and some functionality interrupts or excludes other design intents by nature. For example, in the linked extension, it overlays (replaces?) the youtube recommended videos once you submit a search query - as part of the recommendation stuff seems to be driving high-traffic related vids to the viewer, many of which are ad-monetized, this has a marginal…
It looks like all your comments since your very first one have been pretty reasonable. Not sure if this is something that can be fixed, so you may want to consider creating a new account?

@smaudet - you are hellbanned. It looks like all your comments since your very first one have been pretty reasonable. Not sure if this is something that can be fixed, so you may want to consider creating a new account?
This is fantastic, it's always been a pain to move between Youtube videos at social happenings. Out of curiosity, are there any plans to make this a collaborative feature, perhaps just over the local network by integrating with Chromecast?
Well, there always is (slightly nsfwish url) http://twoyoutubevideosandamotherfuckingcrossfader.com/
Now that Firefox (at least Dev Edition) is almost WebExtensions ready I wonder if... Does it work in Firefox 48? http://arewewebextensionsyet.com/
It doesn't appear to ... you can change the "Add to Chrome" button in the Google Play Store to "Add to Firefox" using the "Chrome Store Foxified" add-on in Firefox [1]. Now the button on the "YouTube Stay" page let's me add the add-on to Firefox (temporarily as it's not signed). I'm running Firefox Developer Edition 48.0a2.

On the subject of YouTube related chrome extensions, I created one called WikiTube a couple of years ago. Its super simple, and just adds relevant YouTube videos to the top of Wikipedia pages. I'm quite happy with it https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/wikitube/aneddidib...
