A Firefox / Chrome extension that allows you to rewind a video on Netflix for 1 second each time you press the < key.

Netflix Rewind 1 sec

A Firefox and Chrome extension that allows you to rewind the video for 1 second each time you press the < key.

I made this extension because it annoys me that the default is 10 seconds.

• Use < or , to rewind with 1 second
• Use > or . to seek forward with 5 seconds

🛠️ It's also possible to change the amount of seconds using the Options page of this extension.

netflix-rewind-browser-extension's Issues

Is it possible to change the keybinds?

Would it be possible to add the option to chose the key binds? And I assume we can't replace the arrow keybinds?
Either way, much appreciated!

Thank you So MUCH

you helped me studying english!!

Extend support to Shahid

I want to use shows on the VOD platform Shahid for learning Egyptian Arabic, but the 10-second seeks are too long. Here is a free episode if you care to poke around with their JavaScript player: https://shahid.mbc.net/ar/series/%D8%AA%D8%BA%D9%8A%D9%8A%D8%B1-%D8%AC%D9%88-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D9%88%D8%B3%D9%85-1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AD%D9%84%D9%82%D8%A9-1/episode-982317. (You will need to endure some ads.)

I'll buy you 3 or 4 coffees if you take it up. It would really help me.

Cease to work on Firefox

Plugin ceases to work Firefox 122.0.1 on Windows 10.

Any way to figure out why? It used to work.

Customization

Nice addon. I have some suggestions.

It would be great if it's possible to add some customization option.

For example

I would like to set <, to rewind by 5 seconds and .> to forward by 5 seconds. Option to customize "rewind, forward, seconds" by myself would be great.

I also would like to override Netflix's left arrow & right arrow* to 25 seconds instead of default 10 seconds. Option to customize it myself by would be great.

Thanks
