- (2025-05-05) Marian Filipovici: This is a life saver!!! I can't imagine how for more than 10 years I've been struggling with this issue, and Google who controls both youtube and chrome can't figure this freaking issue out... unbelievable!!!

- (2024-12-26) ChocoMilkFPS: Been using for months and never failed me. Thank you so much for making this
- (2024-12-05) guaac: When I click under the video play bar, all keys work properly. When I click outside the screen of the page, the up and down keys do not work properly. When I adjust the volume or playback position by dragging the mouse, the up and down keys do not work properly. This is much better than the original state where all four directional keys worked properly only when I clicked inside the screen. When I click under the play bar and adjust, the playback does not stop and it is comfortable.
- (2024-10-23) Ostap Bondarev: Cool Extension! It would be even cooler if you also would remove that one light blue bar that appears on top of the volume change when pressing the right and left keys
- (2024-09-29) Svetlin Karachorov: Thank you. 10/10 Works for me.
- (2024-09-03) LOAY TATTAN: This extension saves lives. I can't believe YouTube managed to ruin a VERY basic intuitive function and made people looking for extensions to overcome it!
- (2024-07-06) Nataly K: A thousand times thank you. Now I'm not constantly butthurt because of youtube inconsistent controls.
- (2024-06-19) Michael Considine: It just doesn't work. If I click into the blank area just below the video player then my arrow keys do nothing.
- (2024-06-08) Danny: This works pretty well, however it will not work if you at any point click on the volume bar, adjust the volume and *then* press the left and right keys as a blue box will appear over the volume slider. It seems once the volume is adjusted manually at any point, the blue box that appears will prevent the intended functionality of this extension. The way I've found to get around this is to simply adjust the volume of the video with the arrow keys *every* time and avoid using the slider at all. Minor annoyance, but if you get used to using YT this way, this extension almost never fails you.
- (2024-05-05) Sommer: it works! Can u add spacebar too?
- (2024-04-19) Richard: Pretty good, thank you, but uh, if you click on to comment something, and send the comment or click off, it'll stop working unless you refresh the page. But otherwise this seems to work perfectly fine. Gone are the days of trying to put up/down the volume but i accidentally end up just scrolling the webpage down, little annoyances build up, its a massive pain.
- (2024-03-23) Lion: I love this extension, but sometimes it just doesn't work.
