About Web Dev Simplified Course Utilities
This extension adds a few quality of life features to the Web Dev Simplified course website.
The main thing saved is your video settings between videos and site visits so you don't need to manually set them each time. Below is a list of all the settings that are saved:
- Playback Speed
- Volume
- Subtitles
The next big thing is the ability to autoplay videos. If you click on the extension in your toolbar you can enable the autoplay feature. This will automatically play the next video in the course when the current video ends. You can also change the delay between the current video ending and the next video starting to any value between 0 and 10 seconds.
A small quality of life feature is that when you seek within a video it will now respect your play/pause state. Without this extension the video will automatically start playing after seeking to a new location (even if you had the video paused before), but now the video will play/pause based on the play/pause state before you started seeking.
Full details on all features can be found in the README at the below link.
