MPS-Youtube is extremely useful if you don't mind the CLI and want to quickly play a YouTube video. translate-shell if you're a language person. Very complete interface to most popular translation services. atools(aunpack, apack, als, etc) for quick archive manipulation if you're lazy.

mpv + youtube-dl plugin are also a nice combination, especially for live streams.

I prefer Streamlink[0] for live streams.

[0]: https://github.com/streamlink

Could you please elaborate why you prefer streamlink over youtube-dl?

I use them both, it is just youtube-dl is more suited for live streams and youtube-dl is more suited for downloading non-live videos.
