A while ago I came across a website with a video player that gaslights you with a logarithmic progress bar. It had me fooled for a while into thinking the video has only 2-3 minutes left, before I finally clicked the pop-out button in Firefox and realized I was only 20% of the way through a 45 minute video.
- 2Gkashmiri 3y agoIs there a Firefox extension for android that can take over the js crap that people call video players and give something decent? I know there are open in x but that isn't seamless. I just want a video player that is standard across the Board. Like safari on iOS used to turn any video on browser to a standard video player window with normal controls.

- a2128 3y agoNot the same website, but the video player was made by a Brazillian company called VTurb and they're using the same logarithmic progress bar on their front page. If you inspect element it's literally called "smartplayer-fake-bar"
