Hey Product Hunt 🙏🏻, I have build a lot of software. But solving this feels real. I have faced this problem a lot of time. Going deep into as to how i will be able to solve this has been a great experience. Understanding the technical depth. I also searched on reddit for a potential solution.
If you are a chrome user you would have faced the same issues as well. I hope this chrome extension works for you. Here is the launch website link - https://storlite.coolhead.in. Your donation is highly appreciated :)

Finally something that actually lightens my tab weight without breaking embeds. The side panel pop-out is a nice touch, and the one-time "View here" gets out of your way when you need it.
How does the placeholder behave on sites that dynamically load YouTube embeds after the initial page load, like a comments section or infinite scroll feed?
Does the side panel player still count against YouTube's view counts, or is it using some kind of stripped-down embed that the site owner might not want?
Love how it keeps videos collapsed until you actually want them, opens in the side panel for free. The "View here" one-time option is a really thoughtful touch for those rare moments you don't want the side panel route.
