User reviews
работает только на ютубе, а я смотрю на разных других сайтах, даже наличие файла субтитров ничего не меняет, ибо расширение тупо не видит другие проигрыватели

EDIT: it turns out this can be configured in settings (down right inside the video, see gifs on their homepage) i will keep original comment if someone has the same issue THIS NO LONGER APPLIES Disables the "Down" key on youtube (in the search bar, in the video, and in the comments) (probably other sites too). I will be glad to remove this review if it is fixed. To be more precise: it creates an unwanted keybinding that goes to the start of the current/previous "part" of the subtitles.
