Ghost Video Dial

Ghost Video Dial (formerly On the Sofa for YouTube) Seek, change the playback speed and set the volume just by turning the mouse wheel on the edge of the video. ■ Features - A transparent "ghost area" sits on the video: along the bottom edge for landscape videos (bottom left on YouTube), along the top edge for portrait ones (Shorts and the like). Shift + wheel moves it round six places on the video: top left, top, top right, bottom right, bottom and bottom left. - Clicks and drags go straight through to the site. The play button, the seek bar and all of the site's own controls work as usual. - It stays out of the way while you scroll the page. It works as a dial only once you move the pointer onto the ghost area, so scrolling with the wheel never gets caught on the video (the dashed line changes color while it is active). - On YouTube, Netflix and many of the other supported sites, it stays in sync with the site's own volume and speed display. - The playback speed and volume carry over to the next video. ■ Supported sites YouTube (videos and Shorts), Netflix, Prime Video and more: seven major video and social sites in all (the full list is in the extension's settings). It also works on other sites once you explicitly allow them, but it has not been tested on every site. ■ Bug reports and contact - GitHub: https://github.com/ogiharadevelopment/GhostVideoDial/issues (Posts are public.
