Indeed, that one was an insta-add for me, this one however I will pass on until it is similarly restricted to youtube domains.

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.
I'm genuinely curious - where did you get this idea from? It's definitely not the case, so I'm wondering how you arrived at it.
Now that I look, it's probably a misunderstanding most of us have because of the lack of granularity in Chrome extension permissions: http://lifehacker.com/5990769/why-do-chrome-extensions-need-...
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).
This is my personal experience as a YouTube user: - There are these weirdly looking fixed (Googleish) bars for no other reason than to steal my screen space. - Recommendations are mostly awful (10 things that will shock you!) or videos I have already watched. - The subscription to a whole channel is a dumb concept. I usually care only about specific series of videos, not the whole channel. Example: New movie reviews,…
Great extension! I added it to ProductHunt for you: https://www.producthunt.com/tech/youtube-stay Good luck!
I really would love to know why this gets downvoted. I gave the author additional exposure for his work. I've been on HN for years and this is the first time I've seen something like this.

Recommendations are mostly awful Yup, it's amazingly bad. 'Related' videos are mostly OK, but reccomendations seem to be just a 'related' video based on something you watched ages ago. I guess most youtube viewers are browsing omnivores and don't really care how bad the stuff is as long as it makes the time pass. At least Amazon let you fix their reccomendations.
> At least Amazon let you fix their reccomendations You can on youtube as well. From the homepage, mouse over a recommended video and the three vertical dots appear. From there you can say "Not interested" and provide a reason.
Amazon will also show you "I'm reccomending X because you bought Y", and let you say "don't use Y to reccomend me things". Youtube doesn't.
And the three dots don't appear for the one reccomended video that lurks among the related videos on the right of a video you're watching.

I'll add: - Keyboard shortcuts to increase/decrease the speed (shortcuts for all controls, really)
Also, shortcuts that work without focussing the video. Press space to pause the video, it scrolls down instead. So you learn about "k" which pauses without focus, great. Then you want to skip forward/backward with the arrow keys. Again, doesn't work without focus...

Knowing nothing about the situation, it looks like
1. You work for ProductHunt.
2. This is a veiled promotion of "your" site.
3. In any case, the comment adds nothing to the conversation for HN readers. It's merely a personal message to the OP.
As someone who has also been on Hacker News for years, that's my take.
Edit: You'll notice that other, similar "low-value" top-level comments have also been downvoted: "Love it! Thanks!" and "good job".
Although such comments are polite to OP, they add nothing but noise for all the other readers of the thread.
