So far seems to work fine. I just wish there were options to hide every part of the interface that shows when you hover the mouse over the video. I don't like seen the outline pop every time I hover, and while I can minimize the panel, the button is still there when I hover
I can't figure out how to adjust the frame rate, it's moving 1/60 of a second each time, but the show I'm watching (Hazbin Hotel) is animated, so it's at a much lower frame rate, any way to fix this?
I just want to let you know if you're still reading this, there is a text-entry error you've made. The previous frame label and the next frame label in the keybind options are reverse from where they should be. The one you set to previous frame will make it move forward by a frame, and the one you set to next frame will make it move backwards by a frame. I wondered where this problem was coming from since I set it to move any video on any site with the same controls that work by default in YouTube, and eventually thought to check this. Sure enough, it was the problem. Another problem this extension has is that in the same menu, the user interface for setting the keys does not respect dark mode or other theme preferences, and ends up placing white text onto a white background for the keybind entry fields, making them impossible to read without first highlighting the text. Because of this, I can't give it a great review, not that I really wanted to give it a review, I just don't have any better place to make a bug report.
