Daniel Rem. (ID: 0000004d7f4a3483) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/13/2023 I use this extension for a different purpose; to listen music faster. Could we improve this extension to be perfect for this purpose as well? The following functions could be improved for this purpose: I would like to set it up to skip parts of videos on all channels. I would like to set how many % of the video are skipped so that the video starts at a specific point, such as the middle(50%) or 75%. Thank you!
