Andrej Milovanovikj (ID: 0000006616c87d53) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/18/2020 This extension triples my productivity when studying, as it allows listening to recorded video lectures with custom playback speed. The dark mode feature helps a lot when watching lectures at night, from the comfort of my bed. Would recommend it to any student at an university where the BBB software is used.
