About

Problem:
Have you ever adjusted the volume on YouTube, only to find that pressing the Left/Right arrow keys for the next minute continues to change the volume instead of seeking the video? The browser gets "trapped" on the volume slider, forcing you to click the video twice to reset the focus.

Solution:
This tiny, efficient extension is a non-invasive fix. When an arrow key is pressed, it instantly detects if the focus is trapped on a YouTube UI element (like the volume slider), immediately blurs it, and restores focus to the main player.

Key Features:

Zero performance impact: Only runs for milliseconds during keydown events.

Restores native function: It does not introduce new behavior; it allows the native YouTube seeking and volume controls to work as expected.

Minimal permissions: Accesses only your active youtube.com page for local script injection.
