About Hayame - Video Speed Controller

== Keyboard Shortcuts ==

Shift+C : Forward 10 seconds

Shortcuts are disabled when typing in text fields.
== Why Hayame? ==
Other speed controllers use complex injection bridges, synthetic events, and site-specific hacks that break video players. Hayame takes a different approach: it sets video.playbackRate directly. That's it. No ratechange listeners, no event synthesis, no Shadow DOM manipulation.
Simple, fast, reliable.
== Privacy ==
Hayame only uses chrome.storage.local to remember your preferred speed. No data is collected, no analytics, no network requests.
