Skip silence Extension

\"Skip Silence\" is a browser extension that allows you to autmatically skip parts of a video that are silent.
It is highly inspired by CaryKH's automatic on-the-fly video editing tool (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQ8orIurGxw).

The extension works with most websites that use a HTML5 video or audio element to play, this includes YouTube and Instagram.

The full source code of this extension is available on https://github.com/vantezzen/skip-silence, if you find any issues or have a question please visit https://github.com/vantezzen/skip-silence/issues.

This extension needs the following permissions:
- \"activeTab\" => Access the currently active tab to monitor the video or audio source's volume and speed up and slow down.
- \"storage\" => The extension saves the settings you set using the browser storage

We do not collect or save any usage or other data about the users of this extension.

黒猫可愛いよね? (ID: 000000869050c829) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 05/14/2023 I like it very much, but I can't set a custom speed. (For example, 5.01x, 5.5x, etc.) I like it a lot, so it's a shame that this bug hasn't been fixed for a long time.
