Gulliver од Darrell_g

Ever watching a live nature cam — a reef, a nest, a waterhole — and someone in chat says "check out 15:48:14"? Getting there means dragging the scrubber around, estimating, overshooting, and fiddling to arrive at a precise moment. Gulliver eliminates the hassle, saving you time.

Gulliver is free. No ads. Forever.

HOW TO USE IT
1. Open a YouTube live stream that displays an on-screen clock.
2. Click the compass icon in your browser's toolbar — the box appears over the player.
3. Select the stream's timezone (just once per stream — it's remembered).
4. Type the time you want to see, as shown on the stream's clock, and press Enter.
5. Drag the box anywhere you like. Click the compass again to hide it.

FIRST TIME USE ON A NEW STREAM
On a new stream the settings panel opens automatically when Gulliver loads — pick the stream's timezone and it closes. To change it later (if timezone was entered wrong by accident), or to set an offset, click the gear.

KEYBOARD CONTROLS (while typing in the input box)
L — back to the live edge
P — pause or resume (handy for grabbing a screenshot of the moment)
← → — nudge 5 seconds

WORKS ON
Any YouTube live stream that shows an on-screen clock and keeps a rewindable buffer — wildlife cams and similar round-the-clock feeds. Desktop only.

WHY IT'S ACCURATE
Gulliver reads the stream's own broadcast timing rather than guessing from the scrubber, so it never drifts and never needs recalibrating. It also verifies where it landed and corrects itself, so you arrive on the moment you asked for — not near it.

OFFSET (Behind the gear icon):
For most streams: leave it at 0.
A few broadcasters set their clocks differently; on those streams, jumps may land at a consistent offset — enter the difference in seconds and the extension remembers it.

PRIVACY
Gulliver collects nothing. No accounts, no tracking, no data leaves your browser, and it makes no network requests. The only thing it stores is your per-stream timezone and offset choices, saved locally on your own device.

VERSION 1.2
Reduces the visual footprint of the UI while adding keyboard shortcuts (pause, back-to-live, ±5s nudge). The extension now holds the player paused during a jump for landing accuracy. Playback control now goes through the player's own controls, so YouTube's own buttons stay in sync; no new permissions, files or network activity No new permissions, files, or network activity.

FINAL NOTE
At any point YouTube could change how their API works, causing bugs or completely breaking the extension. If that happens please drop me a line and I will get things working again as fast as I can. I won't leave you hanging!
