User reviews

This works pretty well, however it will not work if you at any point click on the volume bar, adjust the volume and *then* press the left and right keys as a blue box will appear over the volume slider. It seems once the volume is adjusted manually at any point, the blue box that appears will prevent the intended functionality of this extension. The way I've found to get around this is to simply adjust the volume of the video with the arrow keys *every* time and avoid using the slider at all. Minor annoyance, but if you get used to using YT this way, this extension almost never fails you.
