Fake. The bandwidth is the same as watching 144p video but without video. Doesn't make sense.

Working on Lenovo ThinkPad T16 with Windows 11 Enterprise 25H2. Intuitive use.

Excellent and very practical extension.
YouTube Audio Mode solves a real problem for anyone who wants to listen without wasting bandwidth on video. Audio-only mode works with one click, and the extension automatically lowers video quality without affecting audio playback.

What I liked:

Significant data savings.

Clean, modern UI with a pleasant visualizer.

Clear statistics showing saved bandwidth and listening time.

Smooth integration with YouTube, no interruptions or reloads.

The extension is lightweight, privacy-respecting, and requires minimal permissions. Perfect for Quran, lectures, and podcasts
