About this extension
Reverse Playlist on YouTube adds a single order-toggle button to the playlist panel on the YouTube watch page, right next to the native Loop and Shuffle buttons.
  • ↓ (default) — native downward order. The extension does nothing.
  • ↑ — reverse order. When a video ends, playback moves to the item ABOVE it in the panel.

At the top of the playlist, playback simply stops. There is no wrap-around.

Manual controls follow the direction too: in reverse mode the player's Next control, Shift+N, and the OS media keys hop to the item above; Previous and Shift+P hop to the item below.

The extension navigates YouTube's own playlist panel — it does not build or manage its own queue. The panel item above the current one is literally the hop target, so the list context is always preserved.

Options page: two hop mechanisms are selectable.
- "spa" (default) — steers YouTube's own in-page router for a smooth transition.
- "native-queue" — converts the remaining items into a reversed temporary playlist once, then lets YouTube handle every transition natively.

Privacy: this extension collects no data whatsoever. It makes no network requests. The only permission it requests is "storage", used solely to remember your direction setting (↓ / ↑) and hop-mode preference across tabs.

This is a personal project, built first of all for my own daily use. If something is broken for you, or almost works but not quite, I'd like to improve it. Feedback is welcome (anonymous, no account needed): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe0VN9ENGcRTgKjPdldg6VmeNlDMNeZDHR_m9-9J3xP6Jgd6g/viewform?usp=pp_url&entry.286324476=Reverse+Playlist+on+YouTube
