About this extension

Automatically refreshes YouTube video pages once to fix the player looping/stuck issue.

Read the publisher’s full description

Tired of YouTube videos not playing, getting stuck on a black screen, or endlessly buffering? This extension automatically fixes the issue – especially common when using an ad blocker. Many users experience YouTube refusing to load videos properly: the player spins forever, freezes on the first frame, or shows a blank screen. The usual workaround is to manually refresh the page every time. YouTube Instant Refresh does it for you – instantly and automatically. 🚀 How It Works Whenever you open a YouTube video, the extension performs a single automatic refresh in the background. This simple action resolves most playback issues caused by ad blockers, autoplay bugs, or page load errors. After that, it stays completely out of your way: No repeated refreshes No interruptions No performance impact 🔧 Works Everywhere on YouTube The extension detects and fixes videos regardless of how you open them: Direct links (pasted or typed URLs) Clicking videos from homepage or search Playlist autoplay Suggested/related videos ⚙️ Key Features Automatic fix – no clicks, no setup One-time refresh per video – no loops or reload spam Adblock-friendly – helps restore playback issues caused by blockers On/Off toggle – control it anytime from the toolbar Lightweight & private – no tracking, no analytics, no external requests 💡 Why Use It? If you use an ad blocker, you’ve likely seen YouTube videos fail to load properly. Refreshing the page fixes it – but doing it manually every time is frustrating. This extension removes that friction completely. Watch videos, playlists, and music without interruptions – no more refreshing, no more broken playback.
