Right-click. Queue.
Carry on browsing.
UQ.Rocks Queue Manager turns YouTube into a queue you control. Add videos as you browse, play them in Chrome's side panel, and save mixes you actually want to keep. Local-only. No accounts. Free.
What it does
Right-click → queue
A "UQ.Rocks Queue" entry on YouTube's right-click menu. Queue from search results, channel pages, or while watching — without breaking your flow.
Side-panel player
Click the toolbar icon to open the player in Chrome's side panel. Your queue stays visible while you keep working in other tabs.
Persistent queue
Survives tab closes, browser restarts, and updates. Stored in chrome.storage.local — never on our servers.
Saved playlists
Name and save any queue. Load it back later with one click. Export to JSON to back up or share.
Shuffle & dedupe
Shuffle without losing your current position. Adding the same video twice is silently ignored.
Six color themes
Pick your accent: lime, magenta, cyan, amber, violet, or a clean light "paper" mode. Choice persists locally.
