🐞Custom playback speed does not apply when opening videos in new tabs

[Dashby20]

Concise Description

Youtube playback example .zip

Setting a custom playback speed and opening a youtube video in a new tab doesnt seem to apply the preferred speed, but works if clicking on a video regularly (see attached video for this). I sometimes change the speed of specific videos via the youtube settings instead of the extension, so maybe that messes with it.

Had this issue occurs on 3 separate browser types. usually works ok for a while and then notice the issue happening, have tried reinstalling the extension but unfortunately no change and am running out of browers :D

hi! and thanks @Dashby20

usually works ok for a while
amazing, how exactly. (it shouldn't really change like that, not because of our code)

(if you change the speed manually then that speed might be remembered and the feature is supposed to respect that.)
