ImprovedTube,       is an extension we built to refine your YouTube experience. A powerful one-stop-shop with many features to enhance YouTube, yet liteweight. Be it a larger player or more tidy / studious YouTube UI, hiding distractions. And there was so much left to build and are many clever features to come still.        ImprovedTube is designed with our own UI library: Satus (to manage your settings efficiently & create familiar apps/'cousins easily.)       Please spread the word: ImprovedTube is the only project of it's kind, because other open Youtube Extensions resigned. No other project provides so much CSS to adjust a website🦄.
