User Reviews

Users praise the add-on for making YouTube viewing smoother by skipping ads and quickly rewinding missed moments. The UI is simple, and customizable skip durations (10s, 30s, etc.) are a key strength. Most reviews feel it delivers as promised and is reliable. However, a recurring issue is that finding and adjusting timing settings is not intuitive, with some users needing to reinstall or pin the extension to access options. Overall, a useful tool with minor setup quirks.

Pros

Easy-to-use UI and it does exactly what you need (simple, straightforward controls).
Effectively skips ads and lets you quickly rewind to missed parts.
Customizable skip durations and extra settings (e.g., 10s, 30s) for flexible playback.
Overall positive reception and perceived reliability; users feel it delivers as described.

Cons

Settings to customize time skips are not intuitive and are hard to locate.
Accessing and adjusting timing often requires reinstalling or pinning the extension to the toolbar.

Is YouTube Fast Forward & Rewind Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

YouTube Fast Forward & Rewind requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
