It seems pretty good. I just can't figure out if you can remove the keyboard shortcuts. I really need them to go away. I use video speed controller as well, and "G" is used there. But now every time I press "G" the ambient light stops... Is there really not a way to disable to keyboard shortcuts?

It gives an immersive experience 🤩

In full screen there's a loss in contrast and saturation, otherwise I like the extension.

AI product read

Adds ambient light effects around YouTube videos directly in the browser, simulating TV ambient lighting (like Philips Ambilight) without external hardware

Users want immersive ambient lighting effects around YouTube videos but lack dedicated hardware (LED strips, smart lights, or Ambilight TVs). This extension replicates that effect entirely in the browser.

User installs extension, navigates to YouTube, and the extension automatically applies ambient light effects around the video player. Settings are configurable via the extension popup (options.html). Effects apply on any YouTube video page including embeds.

Target users: YouTube viewers seeking immersive video experience / Users with widescreen or ultrawide monitors / Fans of ambient lighting effects without hardware investment

Login required: No
Reason: The extension operates entirely locally on YouTube pages via content scripts. It only requests the 'storage' permission for saving user preferences. No login UI, authentication endpoints, or account-related code paths are indicated in the manifest or store description. The extension modifies YouTube's DOM directly without needing any user account.
