Show HN: Eliminate video buffering with a Chrome extension
This extension will replace videos on websites with a custom one that use download acceleration to prebuffer as you watch.
It works on most websites, including Youtube. Fortuitously, it is also able to bypass Youtube's anti-adblock shenanigans.
I started this project in high school to fix the terrible video players used on most websites. Since then, I've received a lot of feedback from my users and FastStream has improved significantly. Now that most bugs have been ironed out, I think I am ready to share it here on HN.
It is still undergoing rapid development (multiple releases every week), so let me know if you see any bugs or have feature suggestions. I usually address such requests on Github within 2-3 days.

Show HN: YouTube banned adblockers so I built an extension to skip their ads
I also have an extension [0] in which I have couple of shortcuts to skip ads:
- alt+2 to click on Skip Ads button (on Youtube player)
- ctrl + shift + end to set video's 'seek position' at 100% (useful to skip Youtube ads when Skip Ads button isn't available. THis makes YOutube believe that the ad is finished playing)
