Features
Streamus features include the ability to search for YouTube videos and create playlists, keyboard shortcuts, Beatport integration, and Omnibox integration.[6] Omnibox integration allows users to search using Streamus with the URL address bar, by typing "Streamus" and hitting tab.[3]
Shutdown
On July 13, 2015, after four months of intense negotiation, Sean announced that due to difficulty meeting YouTube's API guidelines, the extension would be removed from the Chrome Web Store the following day.[7] The reason and the entire email conversation with the YouTube team was made public by the author through his extension app.[8]
