Key Features

01 / OVERVIEW

Custom Control Integration

Add fast-forward and rewind buttons directly to the player controls with your preferred skip times. The buttons are designed to fit seamlessly into the YouTube player's native interface.

Visual Feedback

A sleek on-screen indicator appears when you skip, showing exactly how many seconds you're jumping with smooth animations.

Performance Tuning

Fine-tune player responsiveness. Add a small delay (ms) after skip commands to prevent buffering on slower connections.

Private Statistics

Curious about how much time you've saved? The "Statistics" panel tracks your total skips. This data is 100% private, stored locally on your device.

Keyboard Dominance & Auto-Save

Override default YouTube shortcuts. Set custom durations for left/right arrows. All settings persist automatically.

Known Issues

02 / NOTICES

Massive Skips when Buffering Protection is OFF

If you turn off "Buffering Protection" in settings, the player may perform erratic, large skips when the video is buffering.

Workaround

Increase "Seek Throttle" to 150-250ms in settings, or lower video quality to reduce data load.

Floorp Browser: Infinite Seeking Bug

Users of the Floorp browser may experience buttons getting "stuck" when holding them down, caused by a Floorp shortcut feature that conflicts with the extension.

The Fix

Go to Floorp Settings and disable: "Shortcut: Click and hold the link for 1 second (long press)".

Latest Release

v4.4.3

FEB 25, 2026

Browser Sync + Bug Fixes

Settings now sync across devices via Firefox Sync or Chrome Sync. Also fixes rapid skip button clicks being silently dropped, plus internal code quality improvements.

  • Browser Sync: All settings — skip times, hotkeys, presets, button position, theme — now sync automatically across your devices. No setup required. Stats remain local
  • Button responsiveness fix: Rapid clicks on the skip buttons no longer get silently dropped. The buffering guard was incorrectly blocking on v.seeking — a state the extension itself caused — so every second tap at normal click speed was eaten
  • Settings changes now propagate immediately to all open YouTube tabs without a page reload
  • Fixed an orphaned retry timer that could fire after SPA navigation, causing a stale re-injection attempt on the new page
  • Fixed the Progress Bar Update Delay field showing 100ms in Advanced Settings before the popup finished loading
  • Removed 3 unused SVG icon definitions from the popup and various internal dead code cleanup

v4.4.2

FEB 19, 2026

Bug Fixes

Fixes a regression where the forward/rewind buttons would stay permanently visible instead of hiding with the rest of the player controls. Firefox-only.

  • Buttons now use YouTube's native ytp-autohide-fade-transition class, so their visibility is managed directly by the player
  • Player controls no longer disappear while actively clicking or holding the buttons
  • Buffering indicator no longer flashes when clicking buttons while the video is loading
  • Removed ~80 lines of custom autohide guard logic that was fighting YouTube's player internals

v4.4.1

FEB 18, 2026

Bug Fixes

A reliability and stability pass. No features have changed.

  • Skip statistics are now reliably saved and will no longer be lost or reset when updating the extension or restarting the browser
  • Settings changes now apply immediately to all open YouTube tabs, including muted and paused videos
  • Spinner buttons in the popup now correctly save their value when you hold and release outside the button
  • Fixed a listener leak where holding the skip buttons repeatedly across multiple video navigations would leave orphaned event listeners
  • Fixed an edge case where the buffering-blocked indicator would not animate correctly on rapid repeated attempts
  • The advanced timing panel's open/closed state is now stored correctly and works in private browsing windows
  • Various internal fixes to timer management, observer efficiency, and settings storage

v4.4.0

FEB 18, 2026

Full Internal Rewrite

Ground-up rewrite of every JavaScript file. All features preserved — focused entirely on stability, correctness, and bug elimination.

  • Fixed button skip numbers rendering in the wrong position due to SVG rotation math
  • Fixed player controls hiding immediately after a button click
  • Fixed spurious extra seek firing on button hold release
  • Fixed skip arrows not disappearing after releasing a held button
  • Fixed controls bar cancelling early during button holds
  • Fixed keyboard shortcut toggle accumulating memory leaks
  • Fixed skip stats losing counts and displaying floating-point noise
  • Fixed Advanced Settings panel not remembering open/closed state
  • Fixed extension sometimes attaching to an ad video instead of the main player
  • Removed ~55 lines of dead CSS and unused asset references

v4.3.7

FEB 16, 2026

Fullscreen Controls Fix
