About UniSkip: Universal Video Forward & Backward

⚡ UniSkip: Universal Video Forward & Backward ⚡ Take absolute control of your video playback experience. UniSkip introduces an elegant, interactive overlay controller and highly custom keybindings that seamlessly integrate with almost any online video player on the web. Whether you are optimizing recorded lectures, scrubbing through long podcasts, or skipping video intros, UniSkip streamlines your playback workflow without cluttering your browser interface. 🌟 KEY FEATURES • PREMIUM FLOATING CONTROLLER: A beautifully designed, interactive control bar that rests cleanly at the bottom of your video player, fading out when idle and waking up on mouse movement. • THREE-TIER SECTOR SKIP: Configure three distinct durations for both forward and backward skips (e.g., 5s, 15s, and 30s) to navigate videos at your preferred speed. • INSTANT SHORTCUT RECORDER: Customize your keyboard triggers on the fly. Simply open the extension popup, click on any virtual keycap, and press your desired key to bind it instantly. No tedious browser shortcut menus required. • REAL-TIME HUD OVERLAYS: Receive clean visual feedback directly on top of the playing video (e.g., +15s, -5s) whenever a seek action is triggered. • NATIVE YOUTUBE STYLE: Prefer a fully vanilla look? Toggle "Native Integration" to embed skip buttons directly next to the default timeline controls on YouTube. • ADVANCED EXCLUSION FILTER: Keep your workspace productive. Use the Domain Blacklist to prevent keyboard shortcuts from firing on typing-intensive sites like Google Docs, Sheets, GitHub, or Figma. • ZERO TAB LAG: Built on a local-first architecture with minimal permissions, prioritizing system performance and battery efficiency. 📖 HOW TO GET STARTED 1. Click "Add to Chrome" to install. 2. IMPORTANT FIRST-RUN STEP: If you have video tabs already open in your browser, please reload (refresh) those tabs first so the extension's script can safely detect the video player. 3. Hover over any video player on a supported site to see the floating controller appear. 4. Click the extension's icon in your toolbar to adjust skip times, change playback speed, or bind custom hotkeys. ⚠️ SPECIAL TROUBLESHOOTING NOTE FOR RUMBLE USERS Due to a browser-level hardware acceleration conflict involving Chrome's "backdrop-filter" and Rumble's nested Shadow-DOM player wrapper, some devices may experience a dark box overlay when entering full-screen mode on Rumble. If you encounter this rendering issue, please apply one of the following simple workarounds: 1. WORKAROUND CYCLE: Transition the video player sequence manually: switch from Standard Mode ➔ Theater Mode first, and then click Full-Screen Mode. 2. KEYBOARD ONLY MODE: Open the UniSkip settings popup and toggle the "Keyboard Only Mode" feature to hide the physical overlay buttons while maintaining keyboard-based navigation. 3. UPCOMING UPDATE: Our team is monitoring rendering engine adjustments to mitigate this. Thank you for your patience as we finalize the next compatibility patch. 🔒 PRIVACY & SECURITY FIRST • Operates entirely local-first. • No external tracking scripts, server callouts, or data collection. • Only requests the absolute minimum system permissions required to provide player overlay controls.
