what chrome lacks
by Rod Butrymowicz, 2022-04-28

finally a solution for webm volume
by 八餅, 2018-11-11

This serves my purpose well and a great improvement over the crappy built-in player. I agree with Emmanuel in that key mapping would be a great addition, particularly to jump backwards and forwards in the audio playback. Clicking those buttons gets a bit tedious after a while. It would be nice to have options to speed up or slow down the audio too if it could be done.
