One Video Control to rule them all - redefining video interfaces
OVC - One Video Control Extension
****** Why do I need it?! *******
It exposes new ways to interact with videos:
A \"popout\" button to extract the video from the browser and play it as a \"stand alone\", also known as 'picture in picture',
Scrolling up and down to increase / decrease speed or volume of the video (no more guessing if you want 1.25 or 1.75, just scroll up and down for faster and slower - with no limitation),
A button to toggle max speed on and off (very useful for fast forwarding advertisements when possible, or just to find that part in the video you are looking for),
Easy ways to go forward and backward, exposes a short skip and a long skip buttons (defaults to 5 and 30 seconds),
mute , repeat, and more to come!

*bugfix* - (reported by a happy user) - using favorite speed, then super speed, then favorite speed again - not working -> fixed.
*update permissions* - (requested by the chrome team): I asked for the \"tabs\" permission as I thought it was needed in order to open the setting / shortcuts pages of the extension, but it turned out I don't need this permission for that - so I am no longer requesting it.

********** V1.0.17*********
*New Feature* - You can now select to start the control in \"hidden\" mode, great for the keyboard zen masters!
*New Feature* - You can now select to auto minimize the control after 5 seconds, great for those who forget to minimize and walk away :)
