BetterVRV Extension

- Hide potential spoilers in the thumbnails and descriptions
- Control the playback speed
- Better control from the keyboard:
- Seek with the keyboard
- Adjust the volume and mute/unmute
- Adjust the playback speed
- Custom keybindings and increments for total control
- Skip intros and auto-play the next episode when the outro/ending starts
- Reorganize the home page of VRV to be more relevant to you; bringing the \"Continue Watching\" section right to the top
- ...and many other upgrades to make the VRV experience better

This extension relies on our users submitting timestamps for when intros/outros/etc. start and end so that other users can skip around these. Please consider reading the annotation guidelines and helping out by clicking on the BetterVRV icon in your Chrome taskbar to add annotations when you're watching an episode. It only takes a moment and makes everyone else's experience that much better.

Nick M (ID: 0000005cffe8db25) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/21/2021 I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to get the keyboard shortcuts to work. The blurring and rearranging of the home page are very nice though.
