Does its job of showing the playback control but I think it bugs the option to scroll (left-click) to the next reel
by Cliff Ford, 2025-03-07

It adds indeed a playback control bar after having made a right click and activate it but if you want to auto add those controls, the extension will ask you to read and change your data on the DB site which is a major security threat.

Works very well. What I'm missing is an additional option: A function to block these video pop-ups.
