I am writing a chrome extension that inserts JavaScript into webpages so that things such as load times can be analyzed (for troubleshooting purposes), and I was wondering if there is any way to gather data about youtube videos such as the size of the video, buffering speed, etc. using JavaScript

You should look into the Youtube APIs. You could at least retrieve the length of the video. Apart from that, Buffer speed is most likely out of the scope of client side javascript. You'd have to resort to a native application plugin for that.
