YouTube Fast Forward & Rewind
Enhance your YouTube playback with YouTube Fast Forward & Rewind. Add custom skip buttons and configure keyboard shortcuts for precise seeking control.
Custom Skip Buttons: Add fast-forward/rewind buttons to the player controls with your preferred skip times.
On-Screen Skip Indicator: When you use your keyboard's arrow keys (`←` / `→`) to skip, a sleek new indicator now appears on the video. It shows you exactly how many seconds you're skipping and has smooth animations to give you clear feedback.
Usage Statistics: Curious about how much time you've saved? A new "Statistics" panel in the Advanced Settings tracks your total skips. This data is **100% private**, stored only on your computer, and is never collected or viewed by me. You can reset your stats at any time.
Action Delay Control: Fine-tune player responsiveness with a new experimental setting to add a small delay (in ms) after a skip command. Perfect for preventing buffering on some systems.
Custom Keyboard Seeking: Set custom skip durations for the left/right arrow keys.
Integrated Controls: Buttons fit seamlessly into the YouTube player interface.
Auto-Save: Your custom skip time settings are saved automatically.
Control your YouTube navigation exactly the way you want.

- First of all, I’d like to start by saying 'well done' and thank you for your hard work. The extension you’ve created looks great and seems like it will be very useful for me. I also want to mention that the design quality feels very premium. I don’t have much technical knowledge about app development, so I wouldn’t want to make an incorrect technical comment. I’d just like to share my thoughts as a basic user: having manual 'skip forward' and 'rewind' buttons added directly to the screen would be incredibly helpful for me. This way, when I'm away from the computer, I could simply use the mouse to skip ahead or go back without needing the keyboard. I’m not sure if others would want this feature too, but it would definitely make my life easier.

- No keyboard buttons controls the forward/rewind. Left/Right arrow keys does the default 5 sec jump. Good for touch screen laptops I suppose
- Alex Puffenbarger
- Excellent extension does exactly what it says plus the ability to change the amount it skips is great!
