YouTube Subtitle Delay Extension

Mini tool to delay subtitles on the YouTube official website.

As you may know, YouTube doesn't have this functionality by default, and sometimes being able to delay subtitle streaming can be of great help, especially when you're trying to learn a new language. And this extension would help you to do so.

By default, you can change the delay time by \"A\" and \"D\" keyboard shortcuts. It's also possible to adjust your shortcuts.

This extension is only allowed to execute on the Youtube official website and I hope they add the subtitle delay options soon and make this extension useless :)

Carbon Materials Engineering (ID: 000000688e46b94e) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/18/2023 Finally! I've been trying the old shiftj/l method for months but it's not working like it used to. Desync'd subtitles drive me up the wall and seem to exacerbate themselves the more they run or are interrupted. What starts as a few frames turns into 3-6 seconds. This extension is magic. Took me a few refreshes to really dial it in, but once you nail it down, perfection. Thank you creator!

Luke Fagan (ID: 0000004bdfe420a3) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/22/2023 Subtitles get moved to the right side when enabled, and they cannot moved back while this is enabled.

Md Nayeem (ID: 0000007eee5e97f8) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/14/2023 Great extension. It delays perfectly. The extension works very well in dealing with subtitles. Here, the subtitles are fixed in one place below the video, it would be better to make the subtitles movable. It would be better if it could be moved anywhere from the bottom with the mouse rather than being fixed in one place at the bottom. thank you

K K (AK) (ID: 00000043d53487cc) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 01/03/2023 the extension is okay, but if I pause the youtube video, the subtitles go on, and the delay will make no use. can you fix it?
