David Camones Chávez (ID: 000000191e3febce) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/31/2021 Funciona al 100%

Joe Chasko (ID: 0000009e8006845a) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 06/26/2021 Flakey function, and breaks the player. It basically works, but most times you jump ahead with right-arrow, there is a trailing timeout that does not happen with the mouse. Doesn't quite work. Then in broke the player so it kept pausing. Nor ready for primetime.

Simon Savitt (ID: 000000e08ca8d7ea) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/06/2021 All of the keyboard shortcuts work and it only asks for permission to access the HBO Max website. This is an awesome and very useful extension. Thanks for taking the time to make it! Just as a quick note, HBO Max has the 'F' keyboard shortcut built-in, so it's redundant to include in this extension. But hey, everything works, so no complaints here. A list of the built-in HBO Max keyboard shortcuts for reference: F - go fullscreen Spacebar, P, or K - pause
