Absolutely amazing extension. Dev, I would love to replace the multiple extensions I have for different video functionality/capabilities with Video Dominator and as far as I can tell, the only function it's missing that I rely pretty heavily on is video bookmarking. Video Speed Controller allows for one bookmark (or as it refers to the functionality, set one marker and the ability to jump to said marker with a customizable hotkeys/shortcuts). Video Bookmark Controller is, just as the name suggests, essentially perfect for this functionality except for the fact that the extension itself is buggy and I can't figure out what the rhyme or reason dictating whether it will work or not, because it's not simply a matter of the video being HTML5. It also sometimes doesn't remember previously set bookmarks on subsequent visits, but honestly that's not the end of the world. Is there any room for such functionality in your view for Video Dominator? If it's outside the scope of your intent for this extension, please don't hesitate to say so. Regardless, it's an exceptional extension. Cheers & THANK YOU! PS - it's more of a tacked on feature but another extension called "Transpose ▲▼ pitch ▹ speed ▹ loop for videos" also features multiple bookmarking functionality but as with Video Bookmark Controller, it's very hit or miss. If Video Speed Controller allowed for multiple markers, its implementation is the most reliable and seems to work on any HTML5 video whereas the others are very temperamental (I only mention these extensions by name so, in the event that you aren't opposed to adding such a function, you have reference points and possible code examples to work from ;-)
