Funktioniert gut, aber nicht gleich im Vollbild-Modus

Man kann eine beliebige Tastenkombination hinterlegen, und sie scheint auch zu funktionieren. Damit es auch im Vollbildmodus funktioniert, scheint es mir, dass man die Playback-Geschwindigkeit einmal im nicht maximierten Video-Fenster geändert haben muss.

Ein Verbesserungsvorschlag: die aktuelle Spielgeschwindigkeit auf dem AddIn-Symbol anzeigen.
Und auf der Webseite nach der ersten Installation angeben, ob beim Browser-Neustart die Geschwindigkeitsänderung auf 1,0 zurückgesetzt wird.

Very Useful!

Good app but the UI could use some work. It would be great to be able to add pre-set options other than .5-2x

Pretty good

Nice and simple, especially with the customisable speed that can be typed in. Only doesn’t seem to work the best on some sites other than yt
