I Built a Safari Extension That Shows When Your YouTube Video Ends
A developer created a Safari extension that displays the end time of YouTube videos. The extension integrates seamlessly with YouTube's interface, showing the end time alongside the current video time. It also includes features to ensure the end time updates correctly as users navigate between videos.
- ▪The extension calculates the end time by determining the remaining seconds of the video and adding it to the current time.

- ▪The developer used event listeners and a MutationObserver to ensure the end time updates reliably during video navigation.
