This extension was created in order to fix a common issue people binge-watching on YouTube might have faced.
The purpose is to inject a button in current YouTube UI to keep track of the watchtime on a per video basis.
Watchtime is displayed in percentage.
The data is stored in browser localstorage, and can't unfortunately be shared across devices yet.
- Injecting button next to Subscribe button
- Displaying watchtime in percentage in previously injected button
- Updating watchtime everytime the
timeupdateevent is fired - Displaying a tick when the video reached the end, independantly of the total watchtime
The extension is available on the Chrome Web Store.
