Wow. First, I wanted an addon for skip forward/back buttons. Then I wanted one that worked with another addon I use religiously called Quickview. Then I wanted square buttons instead of circular. This is the only addon that allowed all these things, plus you can customize the time lengths. Excellent.

Just recently I noticed that after pausing a video that when I restarted the video it would play slower than normal with the audio being distorted into a lower register. It turns out that it was this extension causing that to happen. I am assuming this was caused by a Chrome update. I am using a Linux based distro.
