Take back total control of your YouTube viewing experience. While YouTube's native player offers basic playback, skipping precisely through long videos, podcasts, streams, and tutorials often feels like a guessing game. Rewind & Forward for YouTube™ seamlessly integrates dedicated rewind and fast-forward buttons directly into the YouTube video player, putting exact navigation right where your eyes already are.

No more relying strictly on keyboard shortcuts or struggling to drag the tiny red scrub bar to the exact right second. Whether you missed a crucial piece of code in a programming tutorial, want to replay a fast-paced sports highlight, or need to jump past long intro segments on a podcast, our custom buttons give you instant, one-click control without interrupting your immersion.

Designed with native aesthetics in mind, the new buttons blend flawlessly into YouTube's default media control bar. They look, feel, and react like original features of the platform, supporting both standard light and dark themes. The interface stays clean, responsive, and completely unobtrusive, so your focus remains entirely on the content you love.

Customization is at the core of the extension. You choose your own skip intervals—set custom jumps for 5, 10, 15, 30 seconds, or whatever duration fits your preferred viewing habits. You can configure separate intervals for rewinding and fast-forwarding, giving you the flexibility to skim forward in larger leaps while rewinding in short, precise increments to re-listen to missed audio.

We believe an essential utility should be lightweight, fast, and respectful of your digital boundaries. Rewind & Forward for YouTube™ runs efficiently in the background without draining system resources or slowing down page loads. It requires no user tracking, collects zero personal data, and operates strictly within your local browser environment to deliver a smooth, private experience.

Upgrade your daily watch routine in seconds. Install Rewind & Forward for YouTube™ today, customize your jump lengths, and enjoy effortless, pinpoint navigation across millions of YouTube videos.
