1.75 patch notes
-Added preload feature. You are now able to preload the next media when the current one is finished loading. By default its set to 2 but this can be tweaked. To turn off set to 0.
-Added preload logs. You can turn on preload logs to see how the preload works or keep track on it.
-Improve on the skip ahead. 10s skip for +1m videos, 5s for <1m, 3s for <15s.
-Also on the last skip where the remaining video is less than the skip value, instead of causing it to loop back from the start, it will only skip 1s ahead. It will only loop back if the video has <1s remaining.

1.5 patch notes
-Added skip forward and backward feature using ENTER and SHIFT key.
-Added download button on top right (next to the Close button). It saves media into Downloads folder.
-Added minimize animation when opening and closing lightbox. 300ms of 'Genie effect' that applies onto the media you've opened and close.
-Added media title on the top center of the pic/vid. (title follows what OP uploaded and not 4chan's CDN)
-Fix styling on media counter at bottom center. (removed background color and lowered it by a few pixels)
1.3 patch notes
-Added Background Sync Scrolling. While browsing the gallery, the thread in the background will move to location of image/video that you're currently viewing. This way you'll know which part of the thread you're at and if accidental closure of the gallery (Lightbox), you can easily resume.
-Changed the icons of the addon for simplicity.
1.2 patch notes
-Added ability to change volume with UP and DOWN arrow keys. (Previously it was inconsistent when using this)
-By default the volume slider now starts at 50% and remember changes set by the user. This is carried over to other threads and media.
-Added throttle (50ms) when scrolling with MOUSEWHEEL UP or DOWN. This means you won't skip 10 videos when accidentally flicking/spamming your MOUSEWHEEL.
-Fix issue where using arrow keys to navigate across videos starts the next video at approx ~5 seconds ahead into the video.
