Video Controls Plus — extension project

Video Controls Plus is a published Chrome Web Store extension (ID `ihafdbecgnhendhckoknblmcminoikdb`) that gives users advanced control over any HTML5 video: playback speed beyond browser defaults, loop ranges with custom start/end, configurable keyboard shortcuts, frame-by-frame stepping, and overlay timing HUDs.

Built on WXT (Manifest V3), it is the workspace's reference implementation of the "no Firebase Auth SDK, no Firebase Analytics, no CDN-loaded JavaScript" rule for browser extensions — a discipline established after a previous Chrome Web Store rejection over those exact violations.

The companion marketing site is an AEO content powerhouse: a 2026-05-06 sprint shipped Batches 09–13 of postbuild per-route HTML, each enriching 15 blog posts at ~30k words apiece — roughly 75 blog posts and over 2 million unique words inlined into prerendered static HTML for AI search citation in a single day. Batch 10 also added chapters, quality-selector, audio-track, and 7 platform guides.
