Reviews of ambient light for youtube™:
Makes YouTube feel a whole lot more fun and fresh, especially if you tweak the settings to your likings, amazing!
I just love for the amoled dark mode
This is my second must have extension on a browser after adblock. Not only is the ambient light much better than youtubes, but it also completely declutters youtube when watching in theatre mode. I can never go back to normal youtube. This extension needs much more exposure!
