Overview

Bring sanity to your video-watching experience with Universal Video Controls, the simple yet powerful extension that puts you in charge of any video player on the web.

Stop hunting for the right button or learning a new set of shortcuts for every site you visit. Whether you're watching news clips, educational lectures, or videos on a blog, this extension provides a consistent and efficient set of keyboard controls that work everywhere.

Features:

Truly Universal Controls: Works on almost any HTML5 video player across the web, from major news outlets to small personal blogs.

Familiar YouTube-Style Shortcuts: No need to learn anything new! Use the keys you're already familiar with:

S / K: Play & Pause

A / D: Seek backward/forward 5 seconds

J / L: Seek backward/forward 10 seconds

M: Mute & Unmute

F: Toggle Fullscreen

Arrow Keys: Control volume

Number Keys (0-9): Jump to a specific point in the video

Smart and Conflict-Free: The extension is designed to be as compatible with most video players as possible. For play/pause, it intelligently uses the website's native controls to prevent conflicts and "stuttering," giving you a smooth and reliable experience.

Clean and Unobtrusive: No distracting elements are added to the page. The extension works quietly in the background, and a simple popup is available if you need a quick reminder of the controls.

Enhances Accessibility: For users who rely on keyboard navigation, this extension makes the web a more accessible place by providing essential video controls that are often missing from websites.
