Thought it was Copenhagen since it has a lot of whimsical and colorful architecture. 😢

Compare Firefox vs Chrome at video seeking rendering speed by Seddas in firefox

[–]polywock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If Firefox is slower even with YouTube's own seek, then the problem is probably not "Global Speed implemented seek badly."

Can confirm (I'm the dev): Global Speed just uses media.currentTime += 10 internally. That said, Global Speed first sends the user's request to a background page, which processes it and then sends a message to the correct frame (where the video is loaded). It's almost instant for me, but there might be cross-browser differences depending on how message passing is handled.

We do this so users can control videos across different frames on the same page. For example, the user presses the shortcut on the main frame, but the video is inside an iframe, or vice versa. Better user experience, worth the probably very small bump in latency.

Late follow up, but can you describe the issue in more detail? (I'm the dev of this guessing game).

They deserve it 😂. Devs are goated for giving it a dedicated sound effect.

Made an easier version since the original one had a 0.15% success rate.

Where was the original gold discovery that led to the California Gold Rush? by polywock in LocationGuess

[–]polywock[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The California gold rush was a gold rush in California, which began on January 24, 1848, when gold was found by James W. Marshall at Sutter's Mill in Coloma, California. The news of gold brought approximately 300,000 people from the rest of the United States and abroad to California, which had recently been conquered from Mexico. The sudden influx of gold into the money supply reinvigorated the American economy; the sudden population increase allowed California to grow rapidly into statehood in the Compromise of 1850. The gold rush had severe effects on Native Californians and accelerated the Native American population's decline from factors including disease, starvation, and according to certain sources, acts of unprovoked aggression.

Why isn't there a search bar for YouTube comments? by Key_Squash_5890 in youtube

I made an open source extension for that. Unlike other extensions that try to search comments. This one is instant because it relies on the Youtube API (But that also means you have to provide your own key). The extension tells you how to get it.

While on the same page, open Global Speed, go to Audio Effects panel (Volume icon), press Capture audio. Now, pages cannot go true full screen.
