YouTube Fast Forward/Rewind 5s Extension

A Chrome extension that adds custom 5-second fast-forward and rewind buttons beside the YouTube video timer.

Note: This extension is designed for mouse users. If you primarily use keyboard shortcuts, YouTube already has built-in shortcuts (Left/Right arrow keys skip backward/forward by 5 seconds) that work without any extension.

Features

• ✨ Adds two buttons beside the video timer on YouTube
• ⏪ Rewind 5 seconds
• ⏩ Fast-forward 5 seconds
• 🎯 Only appears on YouTube video pages
• 🎨 Matches YouTube's native control style

Installation

1. Open Chrome and navigate to chrome://extensions/
2. Enable "Developer mode" (toggle in the top right)
3. Click "Load unpacked"

5. The extension is now installed!

Usage

1. Go to any YouTube video
2. Look for the two new buttons beside the video timer (bottom left of the player)

For keyboard users: YouTube's native shortcuts (Left arrow = rewind 5s, Right arrow = forward 5s) provide the same functionality without requiring this extension.
