Huh. I have to begrudgingly agree that you're right. I have a few nitpicks and quibbles, but you're mostly right. My counter-arguments which are mostly commentary: - Speed doesn't go up to 3x+ (internal users can go up to 20x speed, see the source code) - Focus issues mean left/right/up/down/home/end might change the volume, playback position or page scroll, and there is no indication of what will happen; I typically middle-click the video to focus it before using the keyboard, or sometimes try hitting 'k' twice to see if the video reacts - There's no way to say "my connection is being stupid, please buffer this to the end" - The speed detection often gets confused on my (objectively terrible) ADSL2+ and drops me down to 360p or 240p; I'm often manually switching back to 720p (the max my connection can reasonably sustain) Everything else in your list though... I have to admit that yeah, those features do work :) Position restoration would probably be my favorite. YouTube Music, on the other hand... noope. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24604172 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24604172
