About this extension

Enhance your YouTube playback with YouTube Fast Forward & Rewind. This add-on lets you add custom skip buttons and configure keyboard shortcuts for precise seeking control.

Key Features

Custom Skip Buttons: Add fast-forward and rewind buttons directly to the player controls with your preferred skip times.
Custom Keyboard Seeking: Set custom skip durations for the left and right arrow keys, overriding YouTube's default.
On-Screen Skip Indicator: When you use your keyboard's arrow keys (← / →) to skip, a sleek new indicator now appears on the video. It shows you exactly how many seconds you're skipping and has smooth animations to give you clear feedback.
Usage Statistics: Curious about how much time you've saved? A new "Statistics" panel in the Advanced Settings tracks your total skips. This data is 100% private, stored only on your computer, and is never collected or viewed by me. You can reset your stats at any time.
Action Delay Control: Fine-tune player responsiveness with an experimental setting to add a small delay (in ms) after a skip command. This is perfect for preventing buffering on some systems.
Integrated Controls: The buttons are designed to fit seamlessly into the YouTube player's native interface.
Auto-Save: All your custom settings are saved automatically.

Control your YouTube navigation exactly the way you want.
