extension VS videospeed

I've developed a new tool called extension. This handy tool automates the installation and configuration of Chrome extensions on macOS.

I'm working on a project to create a tool that makes it easy to install and configure Chrome extensions from the command line. The idea is to let users install an extension using its ID and set it up using a JavaScript file. You can check out what I've done so far on [GitHub](https://github.com/8ta4/extension). I haven’t started coding yet because I don’t want to reinvent the wheel if there’s already a tool that solves this problem. At first, I was pretty sure there was a Chrome extension for that, but then I realized it'd be like a Chrome inception. So, I came up with my own plan: 1. Make a preferences file to install the Chrome extension as explained in the [Chrome Extensions documentation](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv3/external\_extensions/#preference-mac). 2. Use AppleScript to open the Chrome extension page and the JavaScript console. 3. Call the `chrome.management.setEnabled` method (as shown [here](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/management/#method-setEnabled)) to turn the extension on. 4. Use AppleScript again to open the Chrome extension's `manifest.json` page and the JavaScript console. 5. Run the `chrome.storage.sync.set` method and other needed methods (as described [here](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/storage/#usage)) to set configuration values. But before I go any further, I want to make sure there isn't already a tool out there that does this. If you know of any existing tools or have any suggestions for a better approach, I'd love to hear from you!

However, I have found a partial solution. Using the "video speed controller"(link) extension you can instead speed up ads so they last only a few seconds.

Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/video-speed-controller/nffaoalbilbmmfgbnbgppjihopabppdk

just use video speed controller https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/video-speed-contro...

For those who didn't knew about this, but you can use an extension like Video Speed Controller to seek through playing ads with a button press.

Video Speed Controller - This one has been a must for me. It changes the speed of a video using keyboard shortcuts. I have it set to increase the speed by 1x each time I push the "d" key, and decrease it by 1x when I push the "s" key. I also have it set to go to 4x speed when I push the "g" key. In addition, the extension contains additional functionality that lets you skip around in a video, I have it set to a minute, using shortcut keys. This is a great addition I use sometimes to YouTube's default 5 and 10 second skip times. One thing to note - this extension works on ALL videos on ALL websites, but note you can set it to only work on YouTube. Video Speed Controller - Chrome Web Store (google.com)

For example, if you use the Video Speed Controller extension on Chrome and want to automate its setup, you can use this command:

Video Speed Controller

On a semi-related note, you can control the speed of almost any streaming video on any chromium based browser with this extension: Video Speed Controller
