Who Needs YouTube’s Streaming Service When There’s This Chrome Extension?

Late last year, Google/YouTube launched a music platform that allowed unlimited access for $7.99 a month. The big selling point is that all the ads and pre-rolls are stripped out. It’s their attempt to take on Spotify, Rdio, Rhapsody and all the rest of them.

Now there’s Streamus, a third-party extension for Chrome that turns YouTube into a pretty decent streaming music player for free. Learn more at TheNextWeb.
