I'm trying to watch YouTube videos on my PC while dragging the progress bar back and forth. The issue is that every time I do this, the video dims, and I can't see the details clearly. I've been experimenting with Stylus on the Brave browser, but I haven't found a solution yet. Can someone help me figure out how to prevent the YouTube display from dimming while I'm seeking through the video? It would be awesome if I could just watch normally without this annoying overlay.

Ah, the dimming and thumbnails can really mess with scrubbing arrangements! I would suggest focusing on modifying that overlay class through CSS as mentioned. Just make sure to adjust it for the right elements when you’re interacting with the player to avoid those pesky dark overlays. It's a bit tricky, but with the right tweaks, you can definitely make it happen!
That dim overlay can be quite annoying! You're right that YouTube's player has complicated features. If you can’t get the CSS to work, another option might be to look into using third-party sites to download the videos and watch them in a different player where you wouldn't have this issue. Just keep in mind that it might not be a permanent fix since YouTube constantly updates their player, but it's worth a shot!
You can tackle that dimming issue with a little CSS magic! I found that by using Stylus to apply this code, you can get rid of the dimming effect:
```css
.ytp-gradient-top,
.ytp-gradient-bottom,
.ytp-chrome-top,
.ytp-chrome-bottom {
display: none !important;
opacity: 0 !important;
background: none !important;
}
.ytp-hover-progress,
.ytp-tooltip {
opacity: 1 !important;
}
```
Additionally, if you find that a specific overlay is causing the dimming, try this snippet as well:
```css
.video-stream::after {
background: none !important;
opacity: 1 !important;
}
```
Just make sure to save your changes and refresh the YouTube page after applying them! This should help you view the video more clearly while scrubbing through.
Thank you so much for sharing your CSS code! It worked perfectly, and now I can drag the progress bar without the dimming effect!
What if the thumbnail overlay still appears while dragging? Any tips on getting rid of that too?
