what are some good alternatives for enhancer for youtube since it's not available in firefox addons anymore?

the only features about it that i care about are

  • the volume booster
  • disable autoplay
  • prevent videos loaded in background tabs from automatically playing
  • prevent videos loaded in the foreground tab from automatically playing as well
  • completely stop videos instead of only preventing autoplay
  • pause videos playing in background tabs when a video starts playing in the foreground tab
  • automatically enable youtube's ‘theater mode’
  • automatically expand the video player
  • use the available space based on the viewport dimensions to expand the video player
  • convert shorts

the adblocker i just use ublock origin for anyway and the dark mode i just use dark reader

officially the developer mentioned that the changes the youtube devs broke it completely in firefox and slightly broke it in chrome so he stopped it temporarily.

I hope @MaximeRF find the time/motivation to fix it. I just was reminded it'd gone when I went to use the boost volume feature.

I hope ad-blocking isn't the blocker, because uBlock Origin handles that (although I suppose uBO doesn't cover things like channel whitelisting).
