PROBLEM:
I have no use for Ambient mode and believe it uses more power and memory when enabled. I'm on a old mac, so I want to preserve power and memory usage as much as possible.

SOLUTION:

  • A toggle for turning amient mode off as default.
  • An entry for setting a keyboard shortcut for Ambient mode

ALTERNATIVES:

  • An entry for setting a keyboard shortcut for Ambient mode, so it's at least easy to turn off.

RELEVANCE / SCOPE:
Yes. 50% - everyone with older hardware and users who default to theater mode/have closed sidebar, as it doesn't work with that anyway (but might in the future).

"SIDE EFFECTS":
Less power and memory usage.

CONTEXT:
Thank you for providing a great extension!
Thank you!

SHORT Table (Summary)
Problem No way to set ambient mode to off as default
Solution A setting for this
Alternatives Ability to add a keyboard shortcut for Ambient mode
Scope People who don't like or need ambient mode
Side effects None
Context Thank you for a great extension!

I'm sadly not a programmer, else I would jump on it myself. I just wanted to add the idea. :)

BTW, you can also try disabling it with our themes, like "black" or custom: primary color.

Other solution;

uBlock Origin custom rule that allows you to get rid of Ambient Mode:

youtube.com###cinematics :empty

Thanks to AchernarB for the rule syntax.
