## Description

Dropout Helper is a lightweight Chrome extension that adds small quality‑of‑life tweaks for Dropout.tv. It saves playback rate settings across videos and helps prevent videos from auto‑playing in Firefox until you allow autoplay.

Watch Parties let you sync video playback with friends for a perfectly aligned viewing experience, and scheduled watch sessions coordinate everyone to start at a fixed time—great for large communities. Note: Volume and subtitle settings are now saved by Dropout/Vimeo and no longer require this extension.
