Smart Video Controls Divyam Rastogi توسط

Press space. Skip ten seconds. Come back tomorrow exactly where you left off.

Smart Video Controls fixes the most annoying things about watching videos in Firefox — and now cleans up the ads that get in the way.

• Dead keyboard shortcuts on streaming sites — Space, arrows, speed controls all work, even inside embedded players other extensions can't touch (cross-origin iframes).
• Losing your place mid-episode — your position is saved automatically and restored when you return. Close the tab, come back tomorrow: you're exactly where you left off. Positions sync across your devices through your Firefox account.
• Intrusive ads around the player — video page cleanup hides ad overlays that cover the player, closes pop-under ad tabs, and sends your tab back if a site hijacks it to an ad.

• Works with cross-origin iframe players — reaches videos inside embedded players that other extensions can't.
• Automatic position resume — saved per episode, restored on every return visit.
• Keyboard shortcuts — play/pause, skip ±10s (±30s with Alt), volume, speed 0.25×–4×, fullscreen. All rebindable in the popup.
• Video page cleanup — hides ad overlays, gates, and anti-adblock walls covering the player; closes pop-under ad tabs; restores hijacked navigations. It never clicks ads.
• You stay in control — both cleanup features have toggles in the popup, and a per-site switch disables everything on any site.

• Overlay cleanup and all playback features: Firefox 115+
• Pop-under tab guard: Firefox 128+ (older versions simply skip it)

Everything runs on your device. No browsing history is collected, no ads are clicked, nothing is transmitted — except optional anonymous usage counts (opt-out in the popup) and your own synced positions. See the privacy policy linked on this listing.

• storage — your positions and settings, on your device.
• scripting + host access — required to reach videos inside embedded players and to clean the page around them.
• alarms — periodic housekeeping (position sync, cleanup).
