Quick answer

If you re-dial the same speed, volume boost, and caption style every time you open a video, you are doing work the extension can remember. VidBar lets you bundle your settings into a named preset and pin it so the right setup loads the moment a page opens.

  1. 1
    Step 1

    Install VidBar

    Presets and per-site defaults are built in. Add VidBar from the Chrome Web Store.

Frequently asked questions

  • Are presets stored in my account?

    No — VidBar stores presets locally in the browser, so no sign-in is required.

  • Can different sites have different defaults?

    Yes — that is the point of per-site pinning: lectures on Udemy, cinematic on Netflix, and so on.
