It's not a well-designed product, I make this extension because it's useful to myself, and I publish it just because Chrome's warning is very annoying in development mode.

This extension certainly "works" but there're many inconvenients known:

  • You have to click somewhere in page before click the icon, otherwise the select-file-dialog will not popout(browser stopped it);

  • after loaded, you have to pause and restart the video to show subtitle in correct size;

  • To load a new .ass file, you have to refresh the page;

  • Can't handle time offset, if you need this feature, modify the .ass file by other tools;

  • When the video element resized, you have to pause, change the playback time, restart the video to make subtitle resized. If it don't work, try more times;
