Video Bar Extension

Adds a progress bar to YouTube videos and videos on other web sites.

This helps, in a non-intrusive way, to keep track of the video progress while all the controls are hidden.

The progress bar position, size, colors, timer font and mouse-over behavior can be customized in the options. The page has a live preview of the bar with \"Save settings\" and \"Restore default\" buttons.

All settings are kept in the local browser's storage.

Left mouse click on the extension's icon turns it on/off for each browser's tab.

Niall Doherty (ID: 0000006819bd08db) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/25/2022 Very handy little extension for seeing how long pre-recorded webinars are. A lot of those webinars hide the video progress bar so you have no idea how long you'll be sitting there. Just a few clicks and this extension solves the problem.
