...from Firefox.

So what do I need? I've got all the obvious; Adblock Plus, Pushbullet etc. that I've been using on Firefox but is there anything else? I quite like the security of NoScript on FF, is there anything similar needed on Chrome?

Thanks.

Remove Adblock Plus and use uBlock instead.

I changed to uBlock on FF as well, and get a good chunk lower RAM usage.

Pushbullet (which works much better on Chrome vs FF), Tampermonkey (Chrome version of Greasemonkey), and Smoothscroll as linked above. I have it set to IE9 as I found that to be the most FFy (well old FF before they slowed it down) feel.

EDIT: Oh and if you have a Chromecast or Android TV, then Google cast will allow you to stream HTML5 videos from the browser to it.

You might want Smoothscroll too since the scrolling in Chrome is beyond awful.

Didn't know that existed, pretty nice :)


Can anyone recommend any themes? Pretty much everything I have tried so far doesn't work correctly on my 2k monitor :/

100% better youtube experience with:

https://github.com/YePpHa/YouTubeCenter/raw/master/dist/YouTubeCenter.user.js (Fill width and max quality and other bits).

I use youtubeHD along with Ad blockers, it lets you set the quality/annotaions etc.. Is what you linked too essentially the same? Looks a lot more involed haha.

The script has a lot more features, main reason why I use is there is a setting to change the player to fill the width of the page in addition to auto hd. I wouldn't say its too involved tbh, its pretty user friendly.
