New fast forward and rewind buttons on YouTube #93

Open Jon-guy30 opened 1 year ago

Jon-guy30 commented 1 year ago

Today when visiting YouTube I noticed new fast forward and rewind buttons that weren't there before. Do others have it too or is it just me? I'm using the arrow, J and L keys to fast forward. I don't want any extra buttons on the player.

Screenshot, FF and rewind buttons are highlighted in yellow.

Huh, I don't see those buttons. Are you able to find out the CSS selectors for them? If so I can add an option to hide them.

Looks like I was selected for some kind of experiment by the YouTube developers as it's not there anymore. I'll keep you posted if and when it returns.

Today it appeared again.

Now, I don't know what CSS selectors are but I browsed around the Google Chrome dev tools and found what was called "copy selector" in the three dots menu when I hovered over and clicked on the element.

Here's the output: #movie_player > div.ytp-chrome-bottom > div.ytp-chrome-controls > div.ytp-left-controls > button:nth-child(2) left button

#movie_player > div.ytp-chrome-bottom > div.ytp-chrome-controls > div.ytp-left-controls > button:nth-child(4) right button.

Is this what you require?

I could just block it with ublock origin but that would be selfish. :)

EDIT: They disappeared again....
