About this extension
Force enable YouTube DVR - Community Fork is a browser extension that helps enable DVR rewind playback on YouTube live streams when YouTube’s player response marks DVR as disabled.
The extension works locally in your browser by patching YouTube player response data and changing the isLiveDvrEnabled flag from false to true where applicable. This allows the YouTube player to show DVR behavior such as seeking backward during supported live streams.
This is a community-maintained fork by arasan95, created because the original project appears to be inactive.
This extension does not collect, store, sell, share, or transmit user data.
