The Chrome Web Store rounds user counts down to the leading digit, so the user line moves in steps. The ratings count is exact and is the better signal of real adoption.
About VideoDefaults
Are you tired of changing your default YouTube playback speed? Yup, i also dream about day when it can be set directly at browser, or just within cookies. VideoDefaults remembers how you like to watch videos. For now i tried to build a simple solution for that. We shall only use available for us playback speeds/values. Also added some improved and non-interfering shortcuts for youtube, like tmux-like controlls(try Ctrl a o and type letters from label)
If you get value out of it, there's an entirely optional Buy Me a Coffee ☕

Check jump overlay, and queue feature 😸 (more info and shortcuts below)
| Chord | Action |
| --- | --- |
| `Ctrl+A` `o` | Open jump overlay (labels clickable elements) |
| `Ctrl+A` `p` | Open queue overlay (add a video to the Up Next queue) |
| `Ctrl+A` `Shift+P` | Open playlist picker for the current video (fuzzy-search, multi-add, create new) — watch page, and Shorts on a best-effort basis, requires being logged in |
| `Ctrl+A` `y` | Go home |
| `Ctrl+A` `v` | Set speed to preset 1 (default `1x`) |
| `Ctrl+A` `b` | Set speed to preset 2 (default `1.5x`) |
| `Ctrl+A` `n` | Set speed to preset 3 (default `2x`) |
| `Ctrl+A` `h` | Toggle auto-apply default speed on video load |
The prefix defaults to `Cmd+A` on macOS and `Ctrl+A` on Windows/Linux, fully overridable.
