Doesn't actually seem to do anything in YouTube on Chrome. Not sure what the point of this extension is, there's no documentation to help me figure out why it's not doing anything...

This developer is on a rampage of falsely accusing other add-ons being copied from their code. Stop abusing other developers, it doesn't get you anywhere. Also, this extension code is super easy to write, there are tons of extension providing similar functionalities, nobody even bothers looking at your github repository, let alone copy from there. You should work at adding better functionalities to your extensions, not focus your energy at abusing other's efforts.

For some reason, when i use the extension the tab says "This tab's content is being shared"... suspicious.

It used to be very usefull but two days ago it stop working, it just let me control de volume of the apps but not the speed. I download the extension again and also restart my pc but still doesn't work. The rare thing is that it only works for a few minutes un one page but then it doesn't work

Hello thanks for the reply, but I forgot to say that also inherit global was enabled, and I don't want to be rude but I still think it's a bug, since it came out of nowhere, I didn't change any setting. I don't understand why it has to decide a new speed for all new tabs every once in a while.

Worked amazingly for several years on every website. Recently Netflix updated it's website and somehow stops the extension from doing it's Intended purpose. Once playing a movie or an Episode it works fine, however after pausing it and playing again it gets reset to 1.0x speed. I have tried enabling Ghost Mode on the Extension; That didn't really seem to help either. I've emailed the Author of this issue, please respond to this if you are experiencing the same issue! I have also tried using a different extension, didn't fix the issue either.
