| 2024-12-26 |  | | en | Been using for months and never failed me. Thank you so much for making this |
| 2024-12-05 |  | | en | When I click under the video play bar, all keys work properly. When I click outside the screen of the page, the up and down keys do not work properly. When I adjust the volume or playback position by dragging the mouse, the up and down keys do not work properly. This is much better than the original state where all four directional keys worked properly only when I clicked inside the screen. When I click under the play bar and adjust, the playback does not stop and it is comfortable. |
| 2024-10-23 |  | | en | Cool Extension! It would be even cooler if you also would remove that one light blue bar that appears on top of the volume change when pressing the right and left keys |
| 2024-09-29 |  | | en | Thank you. 10/10 Works for me. |

| 2024-09-03 |  | | en | This extension saves lives. I can't believe YouTube managed to ruin a VERY basic intuitive function and made people looking for extensions to overcome it! |

| 2024-07-06 |  | | en | A thousand times thank you. Now I'm not constantly butthurt because of youtube inconsistent controls. |
| 2024-06-19 |  | | en | It just doesn't work. If I click into the blank area just below the video player then my arrow keys do nothing. |
| 2024-06-08 |  | | en | 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. |
