This is really helpful extension. I was looking for some extension similar to this and found this out. It also provides customisation options. Actually it is helpful in knowing how much of the video has completed and how much is remaining without moving mouse or pressing keys on keyboard. And this could be even more helpful if video's current time and total video length option was also there. For example on the extreme left videos current time can be shown and on the extreme right side video's total length can be shown. Both in small fonts. Is that possible to display?
