Feeds
Every new video from the channels you follow, in one list, newest first. Groups narrow it to one topic, and the same groups show as chips on YouTube's own Subscriptions page.

01 What it does
Watchlist
Add a channel by link or @handle, press Follow on a channel you are watching, or import all your subscriptions from your signed-in YouTube tab. Star favourites, mute the noisy ones.
Audio mode
Pins the player to 144p and covers the video, so you keep the sound for about an eighth of the data. A popup player with seek, speed, volume and a sleep timer.
Alerts and Up next
One notification per channel, with Listen and Add to Up next buttons. Up next is a listen-later list that plays itself in one tab, even with the popup closed.
