InstantView is a Chrome extension that opens YouTube videos in a popup on the same page when a thumbnail is clicked, allowing you to check out videos without creating tons of tabs or losing your place.
I started working on InstantView years ago responding to someone on Reddit asking if there was an alternative to the Chrome extension "FasTube". Since then it's gone through several redesigns, rewrites, and feature changes. I also began using it to test out some fun audio visualizations that can be used on any YouTube video (that doesn't disable embedding).
