en Great plugin! I hope it won't get removed from google web store (there's a warning) Any chance you could also add speed control? I'm using it when learning guitar songs, and would be great to be able to slow-down/speed-up songs, without having to exit the plugin

en The constant "Response is not successful" error is super annoying. Being a dev myself, I know how difficult it is to keep up with product updates. Especially when you're distributing your product for free. So, gonna keep it for one more week and remove this if it's not resolved.

en Why it adds several bookmarks at the same timestamp? I can press Ctrl+B 10 times and it adds 10 bookmarks. That's stupid. Please add an option to delete bookmark on second Ctrl+B or do nothing.

I have problem with this extension recently. I want to start bookmarking but it throws an error. I know I should wait for the video to load completely, but even sometimes when I do wait, it still throws error and does not let me to add the video. The error code is 19 Please fix it. I love this extension.
