Show HN: Eliminate video buffering with a Chrome extension

5 points

2 years ago

This extension will replace videos on websites with a custom one that use download acceleration to prebuffer as you watch.

It works on most websites, including Youtube. Fortuitously, it is also able to bypass Youtube's anti-adblock shenanigans.

I started this project in high school to fix the terrible video players used on most websites. Since then, I've received a lot of feedback from my users and FastStream has improved significantly. Now that most bugs have been ironed out, I think I am ready to share it here on HN.

It is still undergoing rapid development (multiple releases every week), so let me know if you see any bugs or have feature suggestions. I usually address such requests on Github within 2-3 days.
