## Better YouTube Subtitles

### What is this?

This is a browser addon written in TypeScript which adds more customization options to YouTube subtitles. It is fully compatible with existing YouTube subtitles, as it merely changes their appearance using CSS and does not replace them. Uses [vite-plugin-web-extension](https://github.com/aklinker1/vite-plugin-web-extension).

Access the options as you normally would in the browser, or you can set up hotkeys to trigger certain options in your browser's keyboard shortcuts menu.

More details and screenshots available [in the AMO listing](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/better-youtube-subtitles/).

### What is this written in?

- TypeScript,

- WebExtensions API.

### What's the point?

I wrote this addon over a span of a few days as I was not satisfied with the amount of options available in terms of customizing the subtitles on YouTube videos, mainly the inability to choose your own font and text stroke thickness.
