I'm surprised no one has mentioned Ilya Gregorik's Video Speed controller[0]. It is a delight to watch tech videos / presentations / tutorials on youtube and other websites.

This is so cool! I hope they put out Firefox and Safari versions in future.

Use Panda ( https://usepanda.com/ ) Pocket ( https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/save-to-pocket/nil... )

I cannot figure out how to actually use Panda. There don't seem to be any signup or download/install links on that page.

There is (or at least should be) a link that says "Download for Chrome" right in the center of the page.

It takes you to https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/panda-4-news-inspi...

You need to put 2 new lines after each line so it formats correctly, like this: jetzt (speed reading extension) https://github.com/ds300/jetzt chime (centralized notifications) https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chime/lkdfkbkkfdhh... chromium wheel smooth scroller (I hate browsing with out it now) https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/khpcanbeojalbkpgpm... clearly https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/…

Thanks, I didn't notice the issue. I'm guessing that the hn enhancement suite fixed it.

Is there anything like Tabs Outliner but attached to the same window? More like Tree Style Tabs. At this point I may even be willing to run mitmproxy to inject an iframe into every page or something :(

This is not quite what you asked for, but you can achieve a "managed dual/side pane" with a tiling window manager, letting the window manager keep the outline on the side rather than the browser, so that you don't have to juggle windows yourself. I do this with Tabs Outliner myself and it's quite flexible for me: when I want a full screen vs a side panel, I simply switch between the layouts.
