YouTube Original Audio

YouTube auto-dubs into your interface language. This flips it back to the original when that language is one you actually speak.

The problem

A Hindi video starts in English. A Telugu video too. You open settings, pick Hindi original, and the next video it’s back. There is no real off switch for auto-dub — only a hunt through Audio track on every video.

The fix

Pick the languages you understand. When a video’s original track matches, it switches. When it doesn’t, YouTube is left alone.

Install

Grab the zip from Releases, unzip it, then load that folder as an unpacked extension.

Chrome / Edge / Brave — chrome://extensions → Developer mode → Load unpacked
Firefox — about:debugging → This Firefox → Load Temporary Add-on → pick manifest.json

Or build with pnpm install && pnpm build and load dist/.
