3. Which websites does this extension work on

I have tested this extension on the following websites. Websites outside of this list may still work.

Fully compatible:

  • YouTube
  • HBO Max
  • Amazon Prime Video
  • Hulu
  • Paramount+
  • Disney+
  • Google Podcasts

Partially compatible:

  • Netflix
    • j and l can cause the Netflix webpage to shut down, so they are disabled
    • Please use ← and → (Netflix's default) to seek backward and forward

Not compatible at all:

  • YouTube Music
    • YouTube music has its unofficial shortcuts which are very different from this extension
    • Therfore, I have disabled this extension on YouTube Music
  • Vimeo
    • This extension does not work on Vimeo at all
    • Here are Vimeo's official keyboard shortcuts, which unfortunately don't always work
  • Spotify
    • This extension does not work on Spotify at all
  • Amazon Prime Music
    • This extension does not work on Spotify at all
