I've been looking for a Firefox Add-On like this for a long while.
The Add-On works as intended. If we only consider if the Add-On works as described = 5 Stars.
I would like to make some enhancement suggestions but I haven't found a Github linked to this Add-On. I would have rated 5 Stars if there could be 2 sets of configurable "Rewinds" and "Forwards". Configurable: meaning for example, the user could define how many seconds Rewind #1 goes back, and how many seconds a Rewind #2 would go back. Example: User defines Rewind #1 = 5s, Rewind #2 = 20s. And the same for Forward #1 and #2.

Is Yt tools 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.
Yt tools requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
