Immerse yourself in YouTube videos with ambient light!
Go to the extensions site of your browser and add the extension:
A video card with a score of at least 1000 points in the PassMark Video Card Benchmark is recommended. Check your video card's score here:
https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu_list.php
With a score lower than 1000 the extension will still work but it is likely that the YouTube video page will be slow and/or stuttering.
