Show HN: Eliminate video buffering with a Chrome extension

5 pointsby Andrews54757over 1 year ago
This extension will replace videos on websites with a custom one that use download acceleration to prebuffer as you watch.<p>It works on most websites, including Youtube. Fortuitously, it is also able to bypass Youtube&#x27;s anti-adblock shenanigans.<p>I started this project in high school to fix the terrible video players used on most websites. Since then, I&#x27;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.<p>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.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Andrews54757&#x2F;FastStream">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Andrews54757&#x2F;FastStream</a><p>Web Based Demo: (some features not available)<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;faststream.online&#x2F;player&#x2F;#https:&#x2F;&#x2F;test-streams.mux.dev&#x2F;x36xhzz&#x2F;x36xhzz.m3u8" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;faststream.online&#x2F;player&#x2F;#https:&#x2F;&#x2F;test-streams.mux.d...</a>
