There are a lot of useful features that really make Shorts customizable. But I mainly use this extension for the volume control and seekbar. Like c'mon youtube, if I want to see what happened 5 seconds ago, I have to rewatch a 30 second video to get to that part again? Bless this extension.

When autoplaying, short videos are often skipped, perhaps because the cached video is not timely, and multiple videos are skipped continuously.

Can you give us the option to remove keybinds? I dont want any keys to attach to that extension. It might cause conflict with other extensions.

You need to update the extension manually, lookup "better-yt-shorts" on github. Remove the current extension and then follow the install instructions for the updated extension.
