Beginning with version 5.9, Adguard now allows to install various userscripts, as we have already mentioned in our Blog. Userscript is a “script” written in Javascript that extends the functionality of one or more websites.
With this post we want to start a series of detailed descriptions of the best userscripts in our opinion.
Let’s start with one of the most popular – Youtube Center.
Youtube Center is a userscript that makes it easier and more comfortable to use Youtube and adds several new functions, which this site is really missing. For example, downloading of videos.
First version of Youtube Center was released in the latter half of 2011. It is created by Danish developer Jeppe Rune Mortensen, who still continues developing and supporting the Youtube Center. At present moment it’s updated to version 2.1.5.
This post will be too long if we start to list all of its functions. Just look at the Settings screen, there are really a lot of them.
So we are going to tell you about ones that are most important in our opinion.
You can place a video on the page center and use the bigger player. Also, you can force HD quality instead of waiting until Youtube determines appropriate resolution.
A page with default settings will look like this:
There are some more interesting functions that are difficult to demonstrate on a screenshot.
This function will make it easier to focus on the video, without being distracted by unnecessary details. If you enable this option, the entire page except the player automatically will be “darkened”, creating a movie theater effect. The page of the video in this case will look like this:
Just click on this dark background and it will disappear, giving back access to comments and other functions of Youtube.
To use Lights Off, choose the Auto light off option in settings.
Right after installation of Youtube Center you will be able to download any video in any quality available.

That’s all, Youtube Center is now installed and ready to work!
Dear friends!
It’s been more than two months since the beginning of closed Adguard for Android beta testing. During this time, hundreds of bugs were found and fixed and the work of the program was greatly improved.
