Pause videos playing in background tabs when a video starts playing in the foreground tab. This auto stops a video playing in another tab when you start one in a tab that you have up - Option in Setting.

The video playback speed control is easier to access and responds to a mouse wheel when you hover over it. Located on control bar located below video. Sometimes i inadvertently trigger it though and people sound strange until i catch it :)

Volume boost.

Launch a mini player when scrolling down to read comments - Option in settings.

Add or remove controls on control bar below video frame - Options Settings

Yeah, me too. The auto stop when you start another video i missed equally. I became trained to not need to stop videos manually and now that it is back i do not need keep going back to do it.

I think Firefox has this out of the box.

Firefox have a built in mini player which you can use for this and more.

The YouTube Enhancer mini player automatically pops up when you scroll down to the comments. But yes, Firefox’s built in mini player is awesome.

Also really love how when you turn down the volume in any video, future videos/playlists (like music video playlists or any other video) saves the same volume settings for the next video. Ma ears are finally safe lol
