About Permanent Progress Bar for YouTube
Always display a tiny progress bar with buffer loading on YouTube's player even in the fullscreen mode
This extension brings a small, persistent progress bar to the YouTube player, enhancing your viewing experience. You can customize the extension to adjust the bar's height and color on the options page.
The beauty of this feature lies in its adaptability ? it remains hidden until the default YouTube progress bar disappears, even in fullscreen mode!
The primary goal is to offer a constant visual cue of the player's progress status. If the bar appears too slim for your screen, head to the options page and tweak the height setting.
Exciting Features:
- Keep track of the loaded percentage (buffered video progress).
- Monitor the current position of the player.
- Updates of these percentages every 2 seconds (adaptive).
- Almost all features are fully customizable through the options page.
- Compatible with the YouTube website and embedded YouTube players on any website.
- Hides the permanent progress bar on live streams
Recent Changes: Version 0.2.0:
- The extension has been upgraded to manifest v3, ensuring improved functionality and performance.

Data source
Covers every Chrome Web Store extension with at least 100 users, found through the store's public sitemap. User counts are read from public listing pages. The 10% most-used extensions are refreshed daily, the next 40% weekly and the next 40% monthly; the least-used 10% are not refreshed. Google displays rounded user counts (and caps the display at 10,000,000+), so small changes may not be visible. Rating counts above 1,000 are rounded (e.g. 1.6K).
