Audio Only for YouTube™
Listen to audio (no video) in YouTube and all embedded videos.
Audio Only for YouTube™ - Firefox Add-on
Audio Only for YouTube™ is a handy Firefox add-on that enables users to load and listen to only the audio content of YouTube videos. It operates by loading the audio source alone while preventing the video content from loading. This feature results in considerable internet bandwidth savings, as video content often occupies a larger size than audio. The state of the add-on is indicated by the toolbar button; red signifies active, and lite grey denotes inactive. Note: This is an independent, unofficial extension not affiliated with Google Inc. or YouTube.
