Tried on Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge Chromium, and Brave. For all three browsers only the space bar play/pause works. None of the other function keys work.

appreciate the effort, pretty awesome unfortunately the extension is only functioning for the space bar play/pause feature for me it is better than not having it but I would love the forward back feature with the left and right keys. I think those three buttons are the essential minimums to a video player so you can go back and rewatch a 5 second to 30 second section over and over to look for little details etc, and seeking forward 5 seconds at a time helps you to fast forward through small stuff like 3 min ad breaks or little transition or intro graphics etc, It is cool to see that you addressed this before and I hope we can get these features from the official developers in the future. Thank you for your efforts!!!
