A modern control bar for YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels — playback speed, scrubbing, volume, fullscreen and keyboard shortcuts. Bring back what's missing from YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels. A polished, lightweight control bar appears below every Short and Reel — with a scrubber you can actually drag, a speed pill that cycles 0.25× to 2×, real keyboard shortcuts that work even when the page steals focus, and a volume slider that finally stays in sync. Same UI, same shortcuts across both platforms. • Works on YouTube Shorts AND Instagram Reels — same control bar, same keyboard shortcuts. • Scrubber — drag to seek, big hit area, smooth red thumb on hover. • Speed control — click the pill to cycle 0.25× → 2×, right-click to reset, or use on the keyboard. Optionally remembers your last speed. • Volume — hover to expand, scroll to nudge, arrow keys to step, M to mute. Stays in sync with YouTube's native control. • Time display — current and total, in tabular numbers so it never jitters. • Fullscreen — uses YouTube's button when available, falls back to the standard Fullscreen API. • Auto-jump to next — skip to the next Short the moment one ends. • Stop looping — pause at the end instead of replaying. • Hide YouTube's stock controls and metadata for a clean view. • 12 built-in languages — English, Türkçe, Deutsch, Español, Français, Italiano, Português (BR), Русский, 日本語, 한국어, 中文 (简体), العربية. Pick yours from the popup. Space / K play / pause ← / → seek 5 seconds J / L seek 5 seconds ↑ / ↓ volume (or hold Shift, your choice) M mute playback speed -/+ This extension does not collect data, does not track you, does not phone home. It only runs on youtube.com and instagram.com pages and only reads the DOM to overlay the player bar. Settings are stored in your Chrome sync so they follow you between devices — nothing leaves Google. The previous versions were brittle: detection broke on YouTube's layout updates, listeners leaked between videos, the auto-scroll was unreliable, and the popup shipped a 280 KB CSS framework just for six checkboxes. 3.0 is a full rewrite with a tight player core, an AbortController-scoped lifecycle, robust DOM detection, a hand-rolled modern popup, multi-language UI and a real speed control. Open-source and MIT-licensed.
