Feature to save internet Bandwidth added #10

Other than videos, YouTube is also very popular for streaming music (videos). Generally, people put on music in the background, while they do their work not realizing that it is unnecessarily eating up a lot of there internet bandwidth. The quality here makes a lot of difference.

Eg. On Netflix. Low uses up to 0.3 GB (or 300 MB) per hour of streaming, while High uses up to 3 GB per hour. 10X difference.

So, to tackle this i have added an auto-toggle feature. This feature will see if the tab is active or not, and accordingly toggle between the lowest possible quality and the quality set by the user.

Giving the user a normal YouTube experience while saving his internet bandwidth.

Thanks, it looks like a very nice feature. Could you add an option to the options menu to enable/disable this?

Added the enable/disable option for smart saving. Let me know if there are any issues.
