Hide YouTube Progress Bar and Time

Has the YouTube progress bar ever spoiled game results for you?

Imagine this. You’ve been looking forward to an epic battle between your favorite players all week but you didn’t have the time to watch it on the live stream. You get back home and fire up YouTube and start watching the match in full screen, avoiding looking at the video length so that you don’t know whether the match will be short or long.

Just after the first game ends, you accidentally move your mouse and the progress bar shows that the video is already 75% done! Oh no! The match has just been spoiled for you, since clearly the player who won the 1st game is going to also win the 2nd game. Just by knowing how much time is left in the video is enough to know the result of the match.

Introducing…the Hide YouTube Progress Bar bookmarklet! It’s a browser bookmark that you can click which will hide the progress bar and time length of the video! With this, you can enjoy the match without having to worry about any spoilers from the time length of the video. Simply load the YouTube video and click on the bookmarklet.

Check the screenshots of before and after pictures of what the experience will be like.
