# MyYouTubeQ
MyYouTubeQ is a Google Chrome Extension that allows you to save YouTube videos and watch them later. Build your personal video queue while browsing YouTube, and manage it easily from a convenient popup interface. Perfect for organizing videos you want to watch without cluttering your YouTube playlists.
## Features
- **Quick Save**: Add videos to your queue with one click while browsing YouTube
- **Manual Entry**: Add videos by URL and title manually
- **Full Management**: Edit, delete, or visit videos in your queue
- **Sync Across Devices**: Your queue syncs across all Chrome browsers where you're signed in
- **Clean Interface**: Simple, YouTube-inspired design
## Installing

4. Move these three PNG files to the extension folder (same location as `manifest.json`)
### Step 3: Load Extension in Chrome
1. Open Google Chrome
2. Navigate to the Extensions page:
- Type `chrome://extensions` in the address bar and press Enter
- **OR** click the three-dot menu (⋮) → More Tools → Extensions
3. Enable **Developer mode** by toggling the switch in the top-right corner
4. Click the **"Load unpacked"** button
5. Navigate to and select the MyYouTubeQ folder (where you extracted/cloned the extension)
6. Click **"Select"** (or "Open")
7. The MyYouTubeQ extension should now appear in your extensions list
### Step 4: Restart Chrome (Optional but Recommended)
For best results, restart Chrome after installing the extension.
